Hidden Treasure Twelve miles north of Taylor, NE (pop.200) there is a sign for the Bootleg Brewery, which lies at the end of a 3 mile gravel road.

Whenever I'm in central Nebraska around meal time, I stop to eat at Ole's Big Game Steakhouse in Paxton. Ole's is an oasis along I-80 in the middle of the state where fertile cropland … Continue reading Ladies’ Night

He and his mates were getting very worked up over opening night of Bath's Petanque League. Between fight songs with his petanque team mates, he tried to explain it.

Like the song goes, "Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, full of soda and pretzels and beer", nothing beats a rope swing over the water for good clean summer fun. Where did the summer go?! The kids are back in school, college football is here (nothing wrong with that), days are getting shorter and … Continue reading Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer
