The Saturday Morning Post: 50 States in 52 Weeks: Nebraska

 

I co-presented training in Omaha, Nebraska 2-3 years ago, and only took a couple of photos, all of them at the hotel and worksite. I was traveling light and the photos are from my phone. It was my second time in the state, when I was a teenager I crossed the state from east to west and west to east on a bus filled with 4-H members. Most of that I slept through in the middle of the night.  

Nebraska is very much in the center of the United States. It is slightly rolling, rather flat. Mostly agricultural. Those central states are very-very large. 

A dear friend of ours taught at the University of Nebraska for a couple of years.  She is from Canada, and at the time, she needed a full time teaching position or she had to return to Canada, and Nebraska was the only job offer.  As recent Yale graduate, it was a unique experience. She went on to teach at another state University for over 20 years, is now a dual citizen, and is department chair at a University in Canada. She has friends in Nebraska, and talks about retiring there, to be near friends. Friends or family would be a reason to want to be in Nebraska.
