Now this is Nebraska
At Grandma's Ice Cream in Wood Lake for lunch, my table mate (there was only one table) said, "I'll bet you're not thinking Nebraska is all flat like everybody says, are you?"
Ames, at the start of the ride, is at 170 ft above sea level.
Valentine, where I am tonight, is at 2150 ft above sea level.
Then the phone rang, and Grandma learned that she had become a great-grandma to Lucy Ann. So we stopped talking about elevation.
After lunch, I kept climbing, expecting all the time to be passed by Grandma on her way to the hospital. She probably didn't take the same bridge into Valentine, though.
Bona fide Cornhusker country!And for something totally unrelated I went to a health care integration conference today where the keynote speaker was a purple spiked-haired dentist from South Carolina who used to open for Iggy Pop. So there you go....happy riding!
