   Yeah, and even west of the Missouri.  :)   
      
   It feels really good to be back in Nebraska.  It's always been   
   home, and is special to me.  I thought about getting a special   
   license plate that has a long time motto "The Good Life", but   
   decided to look at the main plate design a little closer.  Turns   
   out it's based on a beautiful mosaic in the floor of the unique   
   capitol building...

   So I resolved the dilemma by getting a "The Good Life" sticker for   
   the back end of my car.  :)

   Sounds great!  Winter projects are always fun to plan and carry   
   out.  I have a big new garage with a new big screen, so I need   
   some winter projects to take adavantage of the amenities.
