Do you Wahoo?





Jeannie Bixby has got to be the single nicest lady in all of Nebraska. She's a real sweetheart with lots and lots of stories to tell. Bixby runs the Wahoo Senior Community Center, along with an attached thrift store (bottom photo). She's been working there since the '80s, when she walked in for an interview and walked out with a job as the director of the Center. Hopefully, more to come.

Next week: bring sunscreen



Ball State's Darius Hill literally dropped the ball in this shot. Nebraska figuratively dropped the ball during the entire game.

We'll see how this goes...

This whole photoblog thing...I'm skeptical for three reasons.
1. I'm not interesting enough to keep this updated often.
2. I don't know enough people to tell to look at the photos.
3. I'm tired of talking about myself already.

I'm going to give this a spin for a few weeks, and if it doesn't turn out, bye-bye blogging.

Now for the show.



The best photo assignment yet this year - take a ride in a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor. And since there is a little bit of technical difficulty posting the other photos (a sign?), just go here to see them all:

p.s. Never get your head this close to the propellor, the president of the local Experimental Aircraft Association told me. Sometimes the older engines start up with no warning.
