Fascinating 3D elevation model of Oklahoma. Pack a jacket if you’re going to the panhandle

Spent two years in Keyes,Ok many years ago. Guymon was about 50 miles away. A few things I remember
Main airport is Amarillo, the wind never stops blowing, the trees are actually curved from the wind, be careful of the tumbleweed, winters are brutal with huge snow drifts and wind chills - 40 or colder.
Every vehicle you pass the driver will wave at you, wife had to buy solid tubes for bicycles due to the "pickers"
Daughter had five students in her grade. Keyes population was 500. The whole town will know your business.
Big thing on the weekends are which restaurant has the best "calf fries"
If you really want some excitement you go to Liberal, Ks to see Dorothy's house. Guymon has such a nice smell with all the pig farms. As I was told by the locals there, behind every tree is a beautiful woman and its a great place to watch the grass grow. You'll be sh#tting in high cotton

It’s 5 from Colorado Springs & under 6 to Denver. You could certainly take weekend trips to these places.

i've heard Oklahoma is full of beautiful women who frick short, fat, poor guys who can't get laid anywhere else.

and it's full of high paying jobs for everyone, regardless of skill, talent, experience, and social skills

Is this a job at Seaboard? Could it potentially lead to a corporate gig at their Kansas City HQ?

Maybe consider it if so. Otherwise no

I would do it unless you’ve got better options. Seaboard is a great company and should be able to network once you get there
