Wahoo Nebraska
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 what my mother had said before; that I am far too indulgent when it comes to my nephew). Anyway, after pretending to not care about his feelings – we don’t want him to think that naughtiness solves anything – I promised him ONE round of the Nebraska game. We ended up hitting Wahoo Nebraska.
Wahoo Nebraska, the county seat of Saunders County Nebraska, is, in my opinion, one of the most aptly-named cities in America. For one thing, it has created for itself a kind of notoriety when it enthusiastically lobbied for the honor of becoming the “home office” of Late Night with David Letterman’s Top Ten List (it’s been the “home office now for almost twelve years). I vaguely remember being told as a child that Wahoo Nebraska, probably the craziest city in the state, had declared Letterman a Great Navy Admiral in their Legislature and a ‘76 Ford Pinto with a sofa attached to it (among other things) just for this very purpose. And then, there’s the fact that it also holds the record of the third longest boys’ high school winning streak which lasted from 1987 to 1988 over 114 games.
Definitely visiting.
