In 2017, the path of totality for a solar eclipse travelled through Nebraska. Ranchdude, the Ranchhands and I drove a couple hours south to be part of the festivities. It was amazing and I recommend anyone who is close to such an event go an see it.
Today, another eclipse travels across the U.S., this time from Mexico to Maine. Are you travelling to see the eclipse?

Our small towns in northeast Nebraska face similar struggles to keep schools open. I don’t know if there is a lesson in here, but it can’t hurt to read and learn.

I’m sorry to report that the Iowa women did not win the national championship (no, I’m not). The Husker women lost to the Hawkeyes badly the first time they met this past season. Then, Nebraska won after being down 14 in the fourth quarter in the second meeting. The third time they met was in the conference championship game when the Huskers took Iowa to overtime. I am glad Iowa did not win the natty, but I do acknowledge that Caitlyn Clark and the media obsession with her has raised the profile of women’s basketball.
