I'm so out of the loop, you're staying in Omaha? What happened to the Rocky Mountains??
Housing market in Cheyenne went to hell over the winter. What little that has been coming on the market that's worth a damn is gone in hours. Had 2 different places bought right out from under us. We got frustrated and ended up looking around what was here and found an amazing place, so we're staying.

Every day, Omaha is being forced to dump about 65 million gallons of raw, untreated sewage into the Papillion Creek, near the mouth of the Missouri River.
The putrid flow is expected to continue for weeks, if not months, until repairs can be made to the city’s flooded wastewater treatment plant near Bellevue.
The plant typically treats and cleans about two-thirds of what the Omaha area flushes or sends down a drain. But it had to be taken offline in March after floodwaters inundated about half of its buildings.
The sewage discharge is legal because of exceptions under state and federal environmental law for events beyond an operator’s control. But officials are concerned about potential health impacts downstream from Omaha.
Until now, three days was the longest sustained stretch that the plant had ever spewed sewage into the creek, which flows into the Missouri River.

That only affects your drive up here. But that drive really sucks now with the truck traffic on US 75. Those cocksmokers don't have a fuck to give about how many people they hold up or for how long. Unlike me, you can still get to KC or St Joe. I'll be hanging out with ptlyon in SUX all summer long. [Reply]
