We knew Nebraska Day was coming up on April 5, but somebody pointed out to Us that We missed the boat. These sort of close-but-no-cigar errors come from R Limitations on counting, etc. And We easily get caught up in one delightful thing, meanwhile overlooking another delightful thing, namely Nebraska.

Nebraka is a big state, mostly flat, where they grow corn and other grains. Lots of them. In Bulk. Sounds like a Rhino Paradise, but many critters thrive on grasses and grain, and We wouldn’t feel right, not sharing. Besides, it isn’t ours to share.

The state bird is the Western Meadowlark. Pretty, and they sound nice too.
