Our weekend in rural Nebraska

Of course, this is where some might ask, "Is there any other kind?"
Whether you see the state as God's Country or merely godforsaken, here are a few images from our wedding trip to Nebraska.

Please remember to take off your hat before the wedding.

Does this look like a place with fewer than 200 residents? I think not.


Plenty of room for a new subdivision. Only two hours from downtown Omaha!



The art shot. It’s not black and white, but Ansel Adams has got nothing on me.


Amazingly, not one of those cell phone ads with stuff standing in for service bars

This actually was in Iowa, near the Missouri border. Three things I like about it:
1. It’s a trailer, not a billboard.
2. The sophisticated use of the letter “z.” As if “Shotgun Genies” wasn’t been enough.
3. Sophisticated? Hell, it’s at the performing arts center! I want to see that marquee. “Tonight, Nude Dancing. Thursday, Yo-Yo Ma.”
