To me, that picture Hoss posted is beautiful. Reminds me if home...Nebraska. :) Of course, it doesn't look too awful different from Wyoming. We do have beautiful mountains an hour to our east and the Black Hills an hour to our west. Best of all possible worlds!

My family is from Wyoming (I was born there, myself), & I love it (well, not so much the south east part). It's the smucking humidity in Nebraska that gets to me--it's like you hit a wall of it as you cross the WY state line :)

:D I always thought there was a wall of humidity dividing Nebraska in half. East is definitely humid. I'm from the Western side of the state.

...as many of you know, my eldest son Seth graduated from Army Basic Training and AIT last week at Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri...he is now a full fledged Military Policeman...first duty station is Ft. Riley in Kansas...Mom and I are as proud as any parent could EVER be of the good things his commitment to his service and to his country, have brought about in him. He's always been a good kid, but he is now a great man and I wanted to share some pics if you don't mind...c'mon now-it's better than a vacation slide show!!!!!....

...thanks everybody for the kindnesses, and permitting my prideful episode...he was my first child and he makes us feel that we have done something right as parents...it's such a muckpit at times, that you're never really sure your going the proper way, but he has done us proud...I will pass along the well wishes...and will forward the Hoss inspired travelogue if he feels the pull to escape "The Wastelands"...
