Actually we enjoyed Nebraska, it was just long and featureless from the
highway. We had a great breakfast in a tiny town where I'm sure the entire
population came through while we were there. The most remarkable
characteristic that _everyone_ shared was that they were smiling and
happy--every one.

Hmmm.... we'd take exception to that remark, if it wasn't so true. LOL!
Actually, if you get off the super-slab interstate highway, the state is
not
THAT bad. You can go from the 1950's to the modern era in a several
hours...
And I LOVE books on tape. I travel the Dakotas, Iowa and Nebraska on
business regularly. I usually check out a couple books on tape from the
local library each month. Combine that with NPR and a couple of good
talk
shows (or is that last an oxymoron?) on the radio and I can get through
a
long trip with (the remains of) my sanity intact.
