Ash was bitten by a Nebraska as a small child.

Why is Ash sticking his arm into Nebraska? Because of a problem.

Gah.  I'd be dead in a ditch somewhere between Davenport and Des Moines.  Man was not made to pay attention for so long.  At least, this one wasn't.

You should take the southern route and come through Kentucky.

I've spent a good deal of time in Nebraska, it's a wonderful place full of gracious people.

I have been to Nebraska once for less than a day (it was my destination), it was alright but, the big thing for Nebraska in my book, is that they, surprisingly, have some of the best marijuana laws in the country.  Other surprises?  Ohio and Alaska.

Also, Chimney Rock.  I have wanted to make a wyoming/nebraska oregon trail trip since I moved to colorado.

Do you know what the "N" on the University of Nebraska's football helmets stands for?

Knowledge.

My mom and stepdad worked for Union Pacific at the headquarters in Omaha for a few years right before they retired.  On my few visits out there, I was left with a couple impressions of Nebraska
  • They grow a lot of corn there.
  • Its hot and humid as hell in the summertime.  This has an amazing effect on you when you try to walk more than a mile.
  • The Missouri river really does look like a chocolate brown superhighway (California "rivers" are more like donkey trails in comparison - even the Sacramento).
  • Holy God, its another cornfield!
  • People don't drive with chains on their tires in the wintertime, and so sliding though intersections and drifting into curbs are accepted and expected events.
  • Fireworks laws are non-existant and detonation of personal nuclear arms is the norm at July 4th.
  • Omaha isn't flat the way you might think - but there's not a whole lot of difference between "flat" and "rolling hills" when it comes to disorienting sameness in all directions.
  • This is especially true when the hills are covered with cornfields.
  • There is an excellent, excellent Strategic Air Command museum just off I80 that Ash would be a fool to miss (the nearby town is Ashland, to make it even more compelling).  They've got a B36 Peacemaker on exhibit ferchrissake!
  • It might be hard to find the museum behind all the corn.

The only reasons I commented on Nebraska was to make an Achewood reference

What's the reference.  I didn't get it.

I hope to go my entire life never knowing what a hemorrhoid is supposed to look or feel like. It will be like a Heffalump, or a Woozle, or a Sineufendo.
