Today we got an early start (9:30) and went to the International Quilt Study Center and Museum. http://www.quiltstudy.org/ Later we visited the state Capitol Building.

This sure looks like a real Badger but was taken at Cabelas on Monday.

A little bit of Yankee ingenuity? Put a trailer hitch on the back part of a truck body and you have a ready made trailer. Notice it is registered.

400 plus miles. Is the scenery interesting or boring?

Alice waiting for the International Quilt Study Center and Museum to open. She wasn't the first in line when the door opened. We were beat out by a Canadian couple.

The Nebraska State Capitol building, very unique for such a building. It was a 14 story building and even had it's own Peregrine Falcon nest up higher.

The Governor of the State of Nebraska doesn't seem to have a problem with organized labor.

Since 1937 the Legislature of Nebraska has been unicameral. They reduced the number by half and since then they have run the government much more efficiently. This April they even overrode 2 of the Governor's vetoes one of them (LB599) establishing a program to offer services to low-income women. The other (LB357)allowed cities to increase sales taxes without voter approval. Sure wish this could happen in Maine.

At the end of the day we had a rough choice, Brewsky's or Buzzard Bill's. Cajun food won.
