You go, boy!

IT'S ONLY A GAME!!!

 I've been known to be occasionally exuberant about the good State of Nebraska, especially over the camaraderie shared by fans of the local college football team. It may look a bit strange from the outside, but that's OK... From my perspective, it has been a shared thing taught by my dad and encouraged throughout the State for generations.  When people who don't even know each other are hugging, high fiving and enjoying a unified identity all year long, it just plain feels good. 
I've heard many church goers say, if all those people can get so excited about football, why can't we praise God with the same enthusiasm? ...hmmmmm.  I'd say if they knew Him, they certainly would. Indeed, even the rocks would cry out! That day is coming...
For now, we thank Yah Veh for all these many blessings, including this great day in the sun... 

We just scored!!!

                                                        Me and my brothers...

                                                          Me and my date...


GO HUSKERS!!!

WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE?

    Composting the Nebraska way...

  

On our little road trip through the Sandhills, Sriyani and I were amazed by a not-so-natural phenomenon just outside Alliance in Northwestern Nebraska...
Was it someone's creative car parts junkyard?
Or, was it a really slow motion recycling center?

 

 No, it was Carhenge! Built in 1987 by Jim Reinders with the help of 35 family members to honor his father who had farmed the land where it now stands. Jim's idea was to replicate the layout of the famous Stonehenge in England where he had previously lived and had opportunity to study the ancient ruins...this time using retired vehicles in place of stones. Check it out! We, along with 100,000 visitors from all over the world, were impressed. 

Here I am, feeling right at home.

 And, here is Sriyani...a long way from home.

 We decided to stay until the sun went down, but as it got dark we heard the distant wailing horn of a 1954 Studebaker. We thought it was a good time to move on.

It's the same game...but on another level.

just passing through,

Tom
