So, dumb question here. Once the flood waters finally recede, later this summer or fall, are they just going to be able to clear off debris of the roadways, and re-open the sections of I-29 that have closed, or will they need major reconstruction due to the flooding? I doubt much will happen to th...

The Saigon has great food for about 6-12 bucks a dinner. Â The Peruvian place on L streetis similarly affordable. Â The Meditterranean Bistro is excellent.

In Omaha, the town with the most restaurants per capita in the US... Side note... I have heard this said for thirty-plus years. I'm not necessarily disputing it, but where are the stats to back it up? Googling gives a number of cities making that claim. Now what might be important would be the num...

Huh. OK I can live with that. I like Longhorn better than Lone Star. :) Try Pink Poodle or Farmer Brown's and you'll never go back to the chain places!

I don't suppose anyone has heard whether or not the Platte River bridges on Hwy 75 or Hwy 50 in Louisville will be affected by the flooding? We drove over the 75 bridge on Sunday, the Platte was very high. Â To the east, the platte is flooding on both north and south banks. Â The Papio is backed u...

Other than in the ice storm in 1997? Â When KFAB was broadcasting using a 9V battery to power their cordless phone they were using as a mic?

Don't think Jail time is warranted unless real crimes are broken, but losing one's job and pension, or losing one's job and work credentials seems fair.
