Fucking State! I used to say that every day for five years when I lived in Sydney, NE. Damn glad to meet ya at any rate.
 
I guess it’s all about perspective. Nebraska is one of my favorite places on earth. I was born there but my parents were the ones that moved away for some bigger better life. The rest of the family, aunts, uncles, and cousins all remained. I visited every summer. I’ve been jealous my whole life they got to grow up and live there. The small towns like Arthur, Wallace, Ogallala, are a world away from my home in Texas. Ole’s Big Game Steakhouse in Paxton. Lake McNoughay, the sandhills, Valentino’s pizza, Runzas, Husker Football at Memorial Stadium, fall festivals, veterans days, 4th of July parades, even funerals, there is something unique and wonderful about these small communities.

Anyways, Texan now for 50 years. Married a Texas girl. My kids and grandkids are all Texans. I’ll probably die and be buried here. But to be in Nebraska…
