    wide berth

    I'd like to make this comment: I don't know if all jurisdictions use the same light bars for their patrol vehicles, but here in Nebraska, both the state and the local law enforcement vehicles are equipped with lights which are brighter than the midday sun! My eyes are very sensitive to bright...

    wide berth

    OSU, Yeah. For anyone along the roadside, it just makes sense to give them a "wide berth", no matter who they are or what they are doing there. Construction workers, bridge inspectors, surveyors, police, EMT's, firemen, a guy changing his tire, a trucker checking his rig, someone reading a...

    wide berth

    Nebraska has a similar law regarding police and emergency vehicles (change lanes if possible or slow down). However, I was "informally" informed that it also covers anyone stopped along the road, as in someone changing a flat tire or with other vehicle problems. That could be true, but unless...

    Jack Klugman dies: 'Odd Couple' ' Quincy M.E.' actor was 90

    Jack Klugman was one of my most favorite actors. Obviously, the "Odd Couple" was a sensation and the most memorable, but I was particularly fond of Quincy M. E.! He was such a great character in that series. He played the main role as if he truly was the embodiment of the actual person (I...

    Merry Christmas! I hope that you will enjoy this. This is my Christmas card. It is unusual, but don't let that disturb you. My mind works a little differently than most and therefore I come up with some unusual ways to express my innermost feelings. A Quote from...

    Boogie Woogie (It ain't what you think)

    I had a Dream Last Night... I heard Mamma talkin ' to Daddy. She said "Hank, Bocephus wants to Boogie Woogie". I heard Daddy's reply to Mamma... "Audrey, it's in him and its got to come out! Let the Boy BOOGIE WOOGIE!" Have Mercy! BOOGIEWOOGIE.wmv - YouTube RADAR

    Please be CAREFUL when driving! It only takes 5 seconds to slip.

    I hope that it is acceptable that this is not a YouTube segment. It is quite intense and should be viewed by all drivers. It is quite dramatic, but don't worry it is not grotesque (you cannot see any of the gruesome parts of it). Vidvir - Car accident [NSFL] RADAR

    Nutty Weather?

    I assume it is the same for all locations, but if there is a mild winter and a warm spring, the BUGS go NUTS! It certainly is correct for my area this year. I cut my hair (gave myself a butch) and the gnats were so bad that I could feel dozens of them landing on my newly mown short hair...

    Nutty Weather?

    I believe that tornadoes and storm systems generally follow the same pathways because of the terrain of the earth. We just happened to select the same routes for our highways and interstates because we thought it was the easiest or simplest path, too. Obviously, storms don't discriminate or...

    Nutty Weather?

    OSU, OK has always seemed to be (to me) to be the epitome of "tornado alley". The "HOT SPOT" for all tornado activity. Maybe including the panhandle of TX, but they occur all over, of course. The Kearney / Grand Island, NE area is a good spot for tornadoes. Couple of movies were made as...

    Nutty Weather?

    Yes, that is what worries me. A day or two above normal is one thing, but a week and more when the lows are quite a bit higher than the normal highs is just too strange! Especially when it comes this early. Here in eastern Nebraska we had such an abnormal winter. I only recall one cold...

    Nutty Weather?

    It has been cool at night here (50's) so I keep the windows open at night and close them during the heat of the day. Works out just perfect! The house stays about 68 - 70 degrees w/o the need for the furnace or the AC. Dang nice for March. RADAR

    RIP Davy Jones of the Monkees

    I downloaded those songs just know and listened to them, and again. I have to tell you that I honestly have a tear in my eye and a sad heart. I am happy because I was lucky to grow up with the Monkees, but I am sad because now one of them is gone. Another era is passing away before my eyes...

    RIP Davy Jones of the Monkees

    Very odd. He passed away w/o any warning to most. Maybe his close family knew something, but it sounds more like an out-of-the-blue thing. According to Mickey Dolenz, Davey was a health nut and the younger of the group so it has taken him by surprise, too. 66 is quite young. I remember...

    Nutty Weather?

    Scanning a few birds this afternoon and picking up many newsfeeds regarding the storms. F4 tornado hit Harrisburg, IL. Big tornado hit Branson, MO. State of disaster declared for KS. Six counties with major damages in KY. Big snows and more tornadoes. Looks like predictions for this spring...

    Nutty Weather?

    It has become quite blustery here this morning (since about midnight). West wind 30 mph gusting to 50 mph. That's the readings from Fremont which is a few miles to the SW of me. It seems worse up here as I am atop a hill out in the country. But, I don't have an anemometer to verify the...

    Hybridized Jon Boat / Waverunner Motor

    I intend to build my own soon. I have the waverunner and the jon boat, just gotta get 'em mated together. The river here is too shallow and has too many submerged logs to utilize an outboard prop motor, but a waverunner or jet ski manages it excellently! But you cannot haul any gear on a...
