Nebraska Roads
I got a phone call from one of my friends who moved out of the state – Patrick – and I just had to laugh at how he much he was complaining about Nebraska roads. Let me back-track for a bit here: Patrick came back for a visit because he wanted to introduce his girlfriend, Alecia, to his family and friends. We like her by the way. In any case, their trip here included a bit of manouvering through Nebraska roads, which apparently annoyed the both of them because one or two of said Nebraska roads had a bit of bad traffic going for them. Whether or not this is because those Nebraska roads or being fixed (or if they had some sort of event going on) is not clear. But I do know that Patrick never liked driving all that much so phooey to him.
He DID tell me, however – and this is what really made me laugh – that I should make sure that I don’t get eaten by the roads once I do go on that road trip that I’m constantly planning that I never go on. He claims that Nebraska roads are evil, and that it’s actually a blessing that my road trip never happens.
It’s conversations like this that makes me miss this guy a lot.
