Nebraska

I'm not confessing anything, but there are rumors that I drove 'enhanced' speed limits when I had a Firebird during my younger years. That is almost completely untrue. Maybe. If you are concerned about speeding tickets, you probably should know that two states most notorious for giving them both border Missouri.

You can look at this as a good thing or a bad thing. Missouri has lots of missile silos that still have nuclear-tipped rockets in them. Missouri also has many silos that are now abandoned and have been converted into homes and that's what HGTV just featured although it's technically not within Missouri's borders. It's not far away.

If you were awake bright and early Wednesday morning, you might have seen a spectacular sky sight over Missouri. It was a mammoth meteor that fortunately exploded over the state and was witnessed as far away as Nebraska.

I've heard lots of nuclear first strike scenarios mentioned, but never before have I heard one that mentioned a surprise likely first strike target like this one. If it were to happen, it would be a nightmare for Missouri for many reasons.

Someone captured video in Missouri (or I should say "over" Missouri) of something you will rarely if ever see. It was a US Air Force 'Doomsday Plane' that was flying low enough or a man's Missouri house, you could clearly see its markings over a nearby tree line.

You don't see a sky sight like this every day. A backyard camera in Missouri captured video of a humongous meteor as it was exploding in the skies over Iowa.

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation to what I've just witnessed or at least that's what I'm telling myself. One of the super-secret US 'Doomsday Planes' is doing a bizarre flight path over part of Missouri as I write this.

Earthquakes happen every day, but they don't happen every day in Illinois, Nebraska and Kansas who all had measurable quakes that were felt Sunday.

Don't try this at home. Don't try it on the road either. Don't try this, period. Storm chasers following a massive wedge tornado in Nebraska today ended up inside the vortex on purpose. You can watch the video of what they experienced.

While I believe that many that live in the Midwest have at least come to appreciate cows, not everyone loves them. There's proof of that as two twins recently had a confrontation with a curious bovine and they had completely different reactions.
