Airports
In Omaha, Nebraska, the airport that services here is Eppley Airfield. It is a commercial airport just a mere 5 kilometers from the central business district of Omaha. The largest airport in Nebraska, Eppley Airfield usually serves eastern Nebraska as well as western Iowa, northern Kansas, Missouri and South Dakota. [ More Nebraska Airports […]

Nebraska Cities

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Sammy is having a day out with his Mommy because his mother’s having a bad day and she needed a break in any case, leaving me in the house with my thoughts – because my parents are out on a date day as well. And my thoughts keep drifting back to Nebraska cities.

Nebraska Highway

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I find it rather amusing that Donna had to sit through an entire rant of my Uncle Barry regarding the general evil that is the Nebraska highway. Of course, I don’t believe that there is a highway around here called Nebraska unless I’ve been really out of it for the longest of times, […]

Nebraska Bowl

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

As happy as I am about the tradition and culture of sports (collegiate football in particular) here in Nebraska, I can’t help but feel lost whenever I get dragged into yet another convoluted conversation with my boys about thing like the Nebraska bowl. I simply call it the Nebraska bowl despite the vast […]

Nebraska Fight Song

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I don’t quite understand what it is with a Nebraska fight song – we actually have quite a few Nebraska fight songs, but any Nebraska fight song is just about enough to get anyone’s spirits rising. I personally think that there’s nothing too special about a Nebraska fight song, not really, but I […]

Aurora Nebraska

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

There is something to be said about the kind of determination and stubbornness that we have come to foster within my cute little nephew Sammy. My case in point would be today, when he somehow got it into his head that he wanted to write about Aurora Nebraska. But since he thought […]

Nebraska Road Report

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

My uncles called up my mother to ask her for a Nebraska road report – you all probably know what a Nebraska road report is, but for the sake of the clueless, I shall explain: a Nebraska road report is essentially a traffic report, an update on the status of the roads that help […]

Nebraska Unemployment

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

One of my older acquaintances, Mischa, had to file for Nebraska unemployment recently. Not that Nebraska unemployment is so bad – the Nebraska Unemployment Office, according to my friend Mischa, actually has some pretty nice people working for it, and working to help the unemployed. But I know for a fact that […]

Lincoln Nebraska Newspaper

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Donna is still trying to figure out which Lincoln Nebraska newspaper she wants to patronize, even though she’s been staying here for months already – and even though she grew up here, and in that time, I distinctly remember her not liking to read the newspaper in the first place. But as it […]

Wahoo Nebraska

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

So yeah, it seems that Sammy noticed that I hadn’t played the game with him in a while, so he decided that I should be harassed for it. There’s something rather endearing about a boy his age trying to get his Auntie’s attention by trying to set her hair on fire (I acknowledge […]
