  1. I mean they did have to abandon Picher in NE Oklahoma because it was falling into the abandoned lead mines.
  2. Did you hit the original furniture mart too?
  3. That's fine with me, but I haven't figured out how to change it yet.
  4. I really hope we don’t run this back tomorrow. (Which was originally supposed to be the spicy day) I missed being in the big part of the storm by being at a family funeral south of Lincoln, but we all knew things were going to be bad with the way the 125 year old country Lutheran church was swaying and some of the grossest humidity I can ever recall. (Which makes me wonder what my German speaking ancestors thought the first time they got a plains storm showing up 1890ish)
  5. He may not want to stray too far, I think it may pop off again tonight and tomorrow. It went 0 to tornado much faster than usual so thankfully today wasn’t the spring game that’s scheduled for tomorrow which would have been one hell of a goat rodeo
  6. A little of both I suppose
  7. Sounds like in a small miracle only 3 of the 70 employees in the collapsed plastics plant were injured, all non-critical. Also a BNSF coal train was removed from the tracks without injuries
  8. I’m sure they were offered Busch Lights by folks going out to drink and storm watch
  9. A plastics plant Lincoln adjacent took a direct hit, working to unearth trapped workers now. Storm crossed I-80, and plowed pretty hard into the new money Omaha suburbs after tossing a number of semi’s. My wife teaches history in a preserved 1 room school house in a park, and had to ride it out with a bunch of 4th graders in the city parks reptile center where they let the kids pet the snakes to keep them calm.
  10. Wheat and cattle trading has not kept me up on arms stuff I guess.
  11. What does Iran have that they can lob all the way across to Levant?
  12. I drove over that on a normal summer day and can say riding on a Lao Air Dash8 loaded like a flatbed into Luang Pangbang was more enjoyable for me.
  13. If shit really falls apart, what does putting a bunch of effort into surviving get me? Probably not a goddamn thing
  14. He played a year for Billy Gillespie at Ranger too
  15. Also probably the first time an AD one side, and the coach on the other are co-defendants in a lawsuit.
  16. The NCAA going with double NU/Aggy first round tourney games is pretty funny at least
  17. I hope the ongoing NU women's basketball lawsuit that Trev is named in blows up in Aggy's face like Les Miles's LSU stuff got him canned at KU. Also even by our standards the dumbfucks we elected to the Board of Regents and Gov.. have managed to fuck up what was a reasonably cromulent land grant system for a state of our size.
  18. I accidentally went to Nebraska Furniture Mart during the Berkshire Hathaway meeting which was a mistake.
  19. Their ATV’s aren’t anymore dangerous than anyone else’s either
  20. For me I keep finding it an increasing turnoff. (I had a front row seat for an Uncles horrendous gambling problem, and I’ve never placed sports bets because of that and almost no other gambling) I’ve always been a big sports in general guy, but with gambling stuff seeping into all levels of the coverage and I hear my coworkers keep talking about their increasing bets,(and none them bet two years ago at all) it just makes me feel like something bad is going to evolve out of the spread.
  21. It's been walked back, Farm Bureau really latched on to that. It's kind of a weird divide because the guys shelling out for a bunch on new green paint are absolutely not doing anything beyond basic maintenance themselves anyway, but it's the guy running at 8410 and 9660 that's worried he's going to pay for the mega-dealership building if something is beyond him. Also you a bit of this probably has to do with all the stolen RTK receivers and such floating around too.
  22. While there is some leasing, most of those tractors are going to be owned by a farmer within 3 years of being built, and will be in service for decades.
  23. Along with Atlantic City, I don't know if there is a bad version of this song as long as it's done by a competent musician
  24. My wife loves Amtrak for some reason, and so did Grandma and since it's her death that is paying for it, I feel like I'm obligated.
  25. We've decided to do a train trip for a big vacation sometime in the next year or so in the US or Canada. I think our lean right now is Nebraska to SF, then north to Seattle, then back to Minneapolis and then home from there. Also considering doing some Mountain trip/cross country in Canada. Anyone have useful tips?
