Nebraska sucks

[MichaelD]

Allrighty then, Midwest America; MichaelD is here...what'chu gonna do'bout it?

I have moved to the Omaha area. Staying in a cheapass hotel until I can secure a leased house.

From the time I crossed the Kansas-Nebraska border, I passed a big-ass field large enough to land the Death Star on...then I drove thru a podunk town of 410 people...all buildings were single and double-wide trailers.

Lather, rinse, repeat and here I am. :disgust:

In all honesty, Omaha might be nice...I may like my new job and my new digs...when I eventually get to see both. But for now...man, I miss south Texas. :brokenheart:

OH, the people here have that "Northern attitude". Like we were talking about last night in the "North vs. South Girls" thread.

Hey now, it's not that bad. I grew up and spent most of my life in Bellevue (suburb of Omaha if you're not familiar enough with the area yet).

Edit: Haven't been there in 4 years... hoping Clemson makes it to the College World Series this summer so I have an excuse to go back btw, you should try and catch some games.

I've driven through nebraska and kansas numerous times. Northeastern Nebraska isn't too bad...the rest of both is boring as hell.

Holy cow ! I spent 21 years in Bellevue. Personally I thought Omaha sucked.

I-80 across Nebraska is the absolute worst drive you can ever make. It is flat as a pancake and the road is absolutely straight. No turns anywhere. It is the most boring drive on the planet.

Hey Michael, Skoorb is looking for you. I think he wants to kick your ass for what you did in his back yard last weekend.

wrong! the drive across I-70 in kansas is worse! the speed limit is only 70mph instead of 75. Also the kansas highway patrol is not very reasonable. I am thinking about going through texas and new mexico on my trip back to utah.

I've made this trip going from Oakland, CA to Halifax, NS, and I thought that stretch of road was rather nice. Peaceful. Very pretty in a minimalist sort of way. On the way back I was stuck in a thunderstorm or hurricane or something...lightning stuck the ground like 50 yards from my car. Whatever it was I don't think we have them in CA, at least not on that scale. Far from boring.

Taking I-10 from Los Angeles to Phoenix is fairly boring. Or 1-80 through Nevada.
