Nebraska Winter Is Anticipated

Nebraska has turned herself gray early this year A desolate cornfield stands torn and disheveled A cold front comes in from the north She whips a few strands from the stalks An anticipatory shiver goes through the field An empty feeling of winter saturates the ground Deer have decimated the last few corn kernels Nebraska winters rival those in Michigan

I do not envy those who suffer through a midwestern winter. I remember my years in St. Louis. Ghastly weather! Totally unpredictable! Still, on a Saturday night, I can recall driving snow-covered streets to get to the disco. I was young and stupid then!

I cannot tell you how many times we get killed on these icy roads, being invincible when young.
