But the combination of the stormy skies and the brightly lit room made it impossible to see into the murky depths of the garden beyond.

A writer who travels... a traveler who writes... I'm just a guy who seeks adventure, authenticity, and to promote intelligence and maturity in these wild and crazy times.

I’ve said it all before.’ So, next time you are doing a cross-country road trip, instead of flying through the state of Nebraska on I-80 and just assuming that Nebraska is only boring, flat, and cornfields, get off the beaten path a little and see what the locals see and love about our state!
