I'm a big fan of the Haymarket area down there. Almost wished I lived in Lincoln sometimes, especially during sports season.
Rib Fest is in two weeks in downtown Lincoln. Well worth a visit if you're there anyway. I'm driving from Omaha for it.

Damn right. I know of no one that comes to Omaha that doesn't reciprocate the feeling. It is a damn fine zoo about to get even better next summer (or after?) with the safari stuff they are putting in.
Everyone I know that has come to the Henry Doorly Zoo has been blown away. Whenever we traveled it was almost disappointing to see other Zoos because they never compare.

No Jim's Rib Haven? They have the best spicy sauce on the planet...

If any of you are going to be at Husker home football games this year, let me know. I will be at every one. We can have a brief mini-meet-up or something.
It'll be weird not having RibFest there once Pershing goes bye-bye.

I'll pour out a bottle of Dorothy Lynch Home Style Dressing for you, hommie.

I will add some of Manheim Steamroller's Chip Davis' World Famous Cookies BBQ Sauce
This stuff makes me want to vomit. When I was in Lincoln I had a friend from western Nebraska who put it on anything and everything. Even watched him do it with Chinese food once.

Omaha has always tried to be very trendy, so I think a bottle of sriracha would suffice. You know this has been the only night where the rain didn't sound like a depressing POS. I think this town is starting to develop itself again. Back in 1997 it felt completely different. I have no idea what's it turning into. They're building this monopoly of buildings and covering up all the land with anything and everything. I'd love to relive my glory years here, but some days I think they're miles away.
Why are there so many people from South Dakato? I see more and more license plates anymore, same with Colorado, but this town has a lot of wealthy people. A lot of small and large businesses. Tons of millionaires out here with their rich mansions.

Damn, the Thanksgiving game is in Iowa City this year. Otherwise I'd be there.

Yeah, they've confirmed both the robber and the crew member have died. Crazy. Curious to hear more whenever the news conference happens.
I was morbidly curious, and as far as I can tell, the only other COPS crewman that was badly hurt was a guy that got shot in the legs when an officer accidentally discharged a weapon taken from a suspect's trunk. There was also one guy who apparently died in his sleep of unrelated issues, and a lot of minor things like sprains from tripping while running in the dark.

North and East Omaha, why are you screwing it up for the rest of us? 
I worked for years in that area and it seemed like there was a robbery or shooting every week.

No worries. If you or any other GAFfers are in town for a game at all this season, just give me a holler.

So an Ebola patient is being taken to the world class biocontainment and patient care facility at UNMC, so of course people freak out. The comments on the local news articles are gold. Good for UNMC I say, if nothing else, its an incredibly unique experience for any students or residents involved.

Yeah, doesn't phase me one bit. Not surprised at the local idiot reactions however.
AlteredBeast

To Omaha's credit: there would be that exact reaction in every part of the world. We should be lucky enough to be regarded worthy to treat such a unique patient.
It's sad how many internal emails we have received at the Med Center the last month or so trying to reduce employees freaking out. Some people just can't process facts into real life events.

In a semi related note: CHI and Blue Cross are having a huge dispute right now and my wife is 6 months pregnant and of course her OB is CHI affiliated...

Man that sucks. I have BCBS for my insurance but my doctors aren't CHI.

I work for a large Berkshire firm and they keep telling us it won't last long, but she has an appointment in two weeks and "out of network" visits to her doctor will be ridiculous if they don't fix it by then

Nice! Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely be out looking

That's a big if these clouds clear up in time. Lincoln is cold and overcast as fuck and it's been this way for days.
I've been sick as a dog the past couple of days. I only want to feel better by going outside and sitting in the sun for a bit. Clouds are all "lol no"

We have clear skies to the north!
Yup, it cleared up a lot.
Now to decide where to go.

Options I'm considering are near wahoo, up north past blair, or loess hills state forest in iowa

Yeah, I need find a place, too. Lincoln probably isn't as bad anyways.

Think we will head out past the old Navy base on 72nd.
EDIT: well, the family didn't want to stay out, so we are done.
Keep us updated!

Had to finish some stuff but I didn't have much of a view of anything unfortunately.
Went out to this spot

Couldn't see aurora at all. Faint milky way, tons of stars, jerk ass supermoon dominating it's part of the sky, but nothing aurora-like visible to anyone.

I was there. I think it was the loudest it's been in the last 3 years.
