...in October is gold and green and gray, and very lovely. Yesterday afternoon, after I left the airport in Omaha, I drove west for over an hour. My rental car had a Minnesota license plate and a massive blind spot on the left side. I think, actually, all rental cars have massive blind spots, and hyper-sensitive brakes. These are requirements for rental cars.
But anyhow, Nebraska in October is lovely. UNL seems like a nice university, for those of you who, like me, are keeping track of nice universities.
A colleague tonight mentioned that he is trying to give a research talk in each of the 50 states. So then I had to count. Since 2004, I have given talks in California, Utah, Texas, Georgia, New York, Philadelphia, Michigan, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Oregon, Illinois, Tennessee, and now Nebraska. I don't think I will try for all 50: too far to go. And honestly, who in North Dakota would listen to my talk?
Tomorrow I will drive east for over an hour, back to the airport, and back home (late), and back to work Monday morning.
Nebraska has been lovely.

We drove to Indiana once in the fall - October. All the midwest states were very pretty.
