I went to the NW for 9 days, mainly Oregon, but dipped into southern Washington and very Northern California as well. Did some insane number of miles on a little Ford rental car. PS., never buy a former rental car. :;): Here's a few shots from the trip. Hope ya like em. I'll make final selections f...

That's just |expletive| sad. Â :?

Don't hold me to this, but I swear at some point I saw a rendering or some sort of mock up showing more seats on to of those outfield buildings. Seems like it was more bleacher seats. Anyone else recall seeing this anywhere?

Where the heck are the aerials of downtown? Its not like you've had any recent major life developments or anything. ;) get posting slacker!

the1wags

If its the building I'm thinking of, its a |expletive| travesty they tore it down. God Omaha upsets me off sometimes. Probably good that I moved.

the1wags

Again, going through all the hooplah to score a joint - may as well hit up Johnny drug-dealer from down the street. He probably has better prices, too. Hahahaha. Goin to Johnny would be 10 times the pain in the |expletive|. Johnny might not be home or answer his phone. Johnny might have some dirt w...

For marijuana, I'd use the existing model used for Colorado's medical marijuana system. Dispensaries are liscensed, regulated, and taxed by the state. They are seperate shops that sell one kind of product.

Also S33, to address your other question, note I favor DECRIMINALIZATION of the other drugs, not legalization. Just like a speeding ticket. Its not legal, but you aren't going direct to the slammer either. I'd advocate fines for possessing small amounts of the other substances. Just like speeding or...

S33, how do explain the aforementioned lower than U.S. rate of high school students in the Netherlands using marijuana? Its legal there and their use is lower. Again, are you going to start banging H just because its decriminalized? I think your fears of skyrocketing use are unfounded.

the1wags

That's what I always ask people. Ok so because they changed the laws, are you going to start piping up the crack because you can? Likely not. Except Big E. :lol: As far as a few other things I've seen in this.... The marijuana gateway effect... The POLICY is the gateway. Think of how the law is now....

You do know planes take off and land into the wind and that wind changes direction right?

Nice shots Brad. I really like the first two. And yes, those power lines suck. Those and the ones behind the Qwest need to go.

I believe the Aero Rooms building is on the SW corner of 16th and Cuming. I'd hope that building isn't to be pancaked for surface parking.

After I shot Lake Marie in the Snowys Saturday at sunrise, I drove into Colorado and began exploring the area called North Park. I went to scout shots of this mountain ridge west of Cowdrey, CO and stumbled upon this patch of wildflowers. The cloud cover made for an interesting shot and kept the har...

As Brad noted, there is a lot of empty space available downtown, so it might be awhile for the demand to reach the civic site. The site is very large, with 4 blocks of land there. Remember, this was an alternate site for the downtown ballpark, lots of room to work with. I'd like to see a large scale...

Thanks guys! Yeah I've been slacking on posting pics. I'll have to break some out. Â :yes:

BigRed, I think most people get that developers don't build for bus lines. Portland saw $3.5B in development within 3 blocks of their streetcar in 11 years. Seattle has seen $2.4B in development within 3 blocks of its streetcar in 8 years. Streetcars bring developement dollars that bus routes don't,...

Nice Panos Brad. Of the two showing the skyline, I like the tighter shot of the second one.

the1wags

Great choice of location. Nice shot.

I haven't shared a pic in awhile so I thought I'd post one up. I went to the Snowy Range Friday night to go check it out. There is LOTS of snow still there. I got this Saturday morning.

Jesus, relax. I know Big E and am just giving him a hard time. It's a joke, hence the big smiley. You Husker homers get all butthurt at the slightest thing, and wonder why I make fun. Â :roll:

"Organizers have plans to expand the bike-share program to downtown, north downtown, Midtown Crossing and possibly beyond. “We want to have the city covered with bicycles,” said Kerri Peterson, executive director of Live Well Omaha. The system is especially intended to encourage people to use b...

Yeah I'm guessing that Blue Cross put forth the bulk of cash for those starting 5. As I've said before, I think it would be entirely possible for individual corporations/interests to pay for station installation at their respective locations. Mutual pay for one at Midtown Crossing, Union Pacific at ...

From Omaha B-Cycle's Facebook page. Looking forward to station location details but this gives an idea.

I had a few major blackouts after a few evenings in the Old Market. Do those count? Â :cheers:

There is a story on WOW about this. It mentions 5 stations.

While getting started is great, starting with five is just sad. They should have no less than 15 as a starter system.

I should have phrased that differently. He might go to camp and do some workouts, raise interest and maybe ticket sales from the Big Red faithful, then he will bail. He's there to get attention for the team and himself IMO.

the1wags

That sucks, Josh. I wonder if there is any legal recourse available for you. Its been looked into, and I'm still at where I'm at. Its just a giant shiznit sandwich. As far as the project itself, everyone better get a picture of the pink neon Rorick sign now, cause its coming down. The building is b...

Any wagers on him making the roster? Pub stunt 101.

I think that there only 20 owners there right now, which they plan to buy out in the future, not right away. I don't know where you are getting your info, but its a pinch faulty. I'm not going to go into details, but its a very bad situation for me and the other remaining owners. My best case scena...

"We packed up a bunch, we're just hoping it ain't going to burn, hoping and praying," Rodney Meador said. But not everything fit, forcing them to make tough decisions. The Xbox made the cut, but family photos stayed behind. Their 18-year-old dog, Tigger, got a seat in the cab of the truck,...

That's a very encouraging sign.

Depends on how much room you need. I've spent the last 4 and a half years living in spaces smaller than anything listed there. You get used to it pretty quickly, or at least I did.

I just dropped another $300 at REI last night. :shock: I'm getting there on my hiking/camping setup though. Picked up a new sleeping bag and my camp stove. Â :D REI would be a good get for Omaha, even if it is one of their box stores. The store closest to me is of the box variety, but they did use...

Couldn't pick out the best 4000 to post?

Not a great photo by any means, but while scouting around Moab I took this and thought I'd share it. The Jeep puts it into perspective when you find it.

Yes, they can and do, but very rarely. You have better odds of getting killed by lightning.
