What a freak show.
Saw a truck last time I was up at Lake Mac that had "Cousin's Cousin" with a heart around it on the side window and "Just Married" on the back of the truck. Tried to pull out my phone and snap a pic real quick but we had already driven past it [Shock]
Where @ in Huskerland ? Looked at a place SE of hastings pop. 90 $35K for the place Spouse says it's too far east .
I just passed through on my way to Iowa.

Lived in Hastings for 4 years. Let me know if you have any questions. For the most part, I really liked that town, and the area surrounding is pretty nice. The old ammo depot out East of town was pretty fun to explore. Most of the WWII Navy munitions came from Hastings. The ethanol plant stank when the air was blowing that way.Quote:

Yes, this. Cold cold wind in the winter.Quote:

Don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to disrespect the state. Just the people who live there. They are all really weird and most of them are funny looking.
At least the liberals are few and far between.
Got some Big Mulies in the sand hill area.
Still better than California by a long shot then ... and I'll take Nebraska over California, New York, New Jersey, or Illinois any day of the week ...Quote:

Wait...you were going to Iowa and you're bitchin' about Nebraska? That just ain't right.
No questions, know a few folks there our self, and say a 50 mi radius from hastings proper.Quote:

Iowa is a nice place, but I get pulled over everytime I drive through that state. The state and locals use pretexts whenever possible. The last time was the final straw (obstructed tag while driving four miles under the posted). I will drive through Illinois, New Jersey, and New York before I will spend a dime in Iowa on anything other than official business.
Nebraska is more interesting to look at than Kansas [Flower]
This^^^^, 10 Ring.Quote:

Lived in Hastings for four years thanks to the Air Force. Hate the state as a whole, but always thought the Hastings area was nice. Did a lot of bird hunting out there....and always thought that Blue Hill would make a nice place to retire to.

All you haters can pound sand. We are all intelligent, conservative and exceptionally good looking. And Big Mac has better walleye fishing than anywhere in CO.Quote:

And they do love their team. And if you drive the secondary roads, the pick up truck drivers wave to each other.
Great thunderstorms roll through Omaha as well, very entertaining for the out of staters. The Holiday Inn makes a great bacon cheeseburger.
Mostly because CO sucks.Quote:

Hastings Proper he says. ROFLQuote:

I grew up in Nebraska. 18 years was enough. Not where I wanted to be any more, but Omaha has a hell of a standard of living. Get out in the boonies and you'll find some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
...and in case you guys haven't noticed, Colorado is loaded with freaks that should have been institutionalized or just plain locked in the basement.
...and if you think the I-70 drive is boring, try I-80 driving West out of Salt Lake City. The sign that says "Absolutely nothing 128 miles" isn't lying. Well... there's salt.
Born and raised in Hastings, they have a fantastic museum with lots of bang sticks and a now closed 'bone room' of indian artifacts.
Nice place but I'm glad I'm here!
Yeah, Tooele to Wendover is one huge salt flat. There is a reason people set land speed records out there [Flower]Quote:
