Hastings Air Force Station, Abandoned 1968, Hastings NE, May 7, 2011
Gotcha!
At the filling station this morning, I punched the button for the lowest grade, started pumping, then noticed the price was $0.15 higher than advertised. Grumbling I quite the fill-up. It seems the Lowest price is for the mid-grade. By a lot. That's deceptive I concluded. Later I continued my fill-up at a station of another brand in another town, Hastings NE, and surprise surprise the same pricing scheme holds. What gives?
DLD State Recreation Area
What a neat find. A tiny little recreation area with a few nice level spots to camp. And unused and unmaintained at that. My kind of place. Much quieter than one of Wally's parking lots and the same price at that - $0.00.
And the dandelions are fresh! Yum.

To Remember Safely
The trick is not to forget, but to remember safely. Oh no, I know I cannot walk on the old pathways - use the old patterns to cut new dresses - but I must not forget them, or the experiences that gave rise to them. I am what I am, with the views I have, with the desires and skills and talents that I may possess, because of what I have been. I know what I know because I have lived what I have lived. To have any sort of wisdom without paying for the acquisition of it is not possible.
