A Trip Through Nebraska
from a Postmasters point of view
This past summer, I traveled throughout the colorful State of Nebraska, in search of a Blue Hill , a Red Cloud , or a Silver Creek , but what I stumbled across was Clay Center, Brownville, Greenwood, and Roseland.
I began my trip by traveling Inland , and then headed south to North Loup , then north to South Sioux City. I got turned around in Loup City , headed the wrong direction out of South Bend , and back on track at North Bend . It was then I discovered that West Point is in the east, Central City was off Center, Malcom isn’t in the middle, and the Brady bunch lived east of North Platte.
There were towns along the way that really rocked. Guide Rock, Rockville, Table Rock, and Keystone : but, to my Surprise , there was no rock at Plymouth .
The weather cooperated for the most part, but after a heavy rain, the flood Gates opened and flooded the Valley with Clearwater . I was then stuck in White Clay for a day. McCool Junction was like . . . Burr .
The trip wasn’t without Hazard though. I had to Dodge a Beaver Crossing the Wood River (probably on his way to Beaver City ). Had the Dickens scared out of me by an Archer with a Broken Bow , chased up an old Oak tree by a Bassett hound, suffered an allergic reaction to Angora wool, kicked by a Holstein , fell from a Butte , stung by a Bee , had to wade through Broadwater, pooped on by an Eagle , pricked by a Rose , stepped on by an Angus , attacked by a Gibbon , experienced the Pierce of an Elkhorn . Took a bad tumble in Falls City , but was back on my feet at Rising City . Had to fight my way out of Battle Creek , nearly met my Waterloo when I was mobbed at Lynch , and almost drowned in Weeping Water .
Although I didn’t have the time to visit every Nebraska City , I was still able to Foster an Alliance with many a new Friend. The people in Laurel and Hardy really made me laugh, but those in Crab Orchard were a bit grumpy. Folks in Homer were a big hit. At times I was treated like a Champion and shown the Royal treatment. Received a nice greeting in Valentine, but the town I was most attracted to had to be Magnet .
I always had plenty of food and drink along the way. Everything from Concord grapes to Bartlett pears, black Angus steaks to Hershey bars. Never had to Cook and never had to open a can of Worms .
The Nebraska nights were awesome. Auburn sunsets and Sterling moons. From the Flats in the east, where the Aurora borealis unfolds into Plainview , to the Western hills where you can see the Sparks coming out of CHIMNEY ROCK
The entire Nebraska adventure was like a Page out of history. After passing through Colon , I realized my trip had just come to . . . the end!

That's why I love Mexico or Cuba as a vacation place much better.
Smoking allowed EVERYWHERE !
In the bars, disco, at the pool or ocean, in rooms, even restaurants.
I have not taking advantage of in room smoking , nor resturant, unless it was outside.
But, Florida isn't bad, you can smoke at the beach.. unlike "clean" California ! LOL

You just made a post in favor of smoking. While you're reading "facts" about, and hating on the U.S., have you not come across the warning signs and harmful effects of cigarette's? Do you not know that people, even some of the very people on this forum, have cigarette related illnesses? Dude, it's 2011, smoking isn't cool anymore!

The Joy of almonds
Almonds have as much protein per ounce as red meat. Adding almonds into your diet has shown to help reduce the risk of heart attacks by as much as 50%. This result is due to the good-for- your-heart vitamin E found in almonds. Monounsaturated fats can decrease your bad LDL cholesterol levels and increase your good HDL cholesterol levels. Antioxidants help keep your arteries young.
