Hello from Lincoln, Nebraska which is the home of Army Buddy. Army Buddy is a friend from the days of when my hair was brown and America had hopes for the future. Dang, I got depressing all of a sudden. There should have been a sign warning this. Whatever.
We drove from Missouri through Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri, through a small portion of Iowa, finally ending up in northeastern Nebraska. Dude the winds were horrible in Nebraska. Army Buddy tells me that the winds we experienced were normal and usual. Dude. The wind would strike the side of The Love Boat and push it around the road like a toy. A 12 foot high, 35 foot long, 8 1/2 foot wide, 10 ton toy. Big Ole Dumb Southern Boys aren't structured for winds like that but Nebraskans are. Southern Boys only get wind like that during a hurricane but it was just another day in Nebraska. Dude.
Lincoln is a clean and safe town with very little crime. I think I might like to spend some time there if it were not for the wind, tornadoes, bitterly cold winters, and summers worse than Raleighwood. Other than that it is a paradise. I must admit I liked every person I spoke to in Lincoln. They all seemed sincerely nice (shocked from cold winters, hot summers, tornadoes, and the wind) but nice. Or they were enthralled with my charming southern accent. Regardless, Army Buddy is really proud of his town, and it was nice visiting it.
We took The Puppies to a dog groomer in Lincoln for doggie torture. Both pups were mad when Deb picked them up. They did look nice and fluffy but mad. Deb likes to take them to groomers when we are on the road. Speaking of The Puppies, I want a flashing neon sign that says, "The dogs are Keeshonds" because regardless of where we are we always get people to stop us, then tell us The Puppies are so beautiful, and ask us what is their breed.. At last count we have answered that question 478,623,781,123 times give or take a couple times. Monty and Riley are Keeshond ambassadors, mad Keeshond ambassadors, but ambassadors nonetheless.
Today's entry was pretty lame. I didn't really find anything in Lincoln funny or unusual. We leave for Minden, NE very soon. Minden is about 120 miles due west of Lincoln, NE. There is an old museum there that I am told is quite neat.
Bye for now.
