    Unfortunately, "I drove through Nebraska twice" is the whole story. It's impossible to capture how Twilight Zone-esque it feels. It just never ends and never changes. There's nothing. Corn and nothing. More corn and more nothing. I was recalling how a few months back, some of my dumbass nephews were running their mouths about going to a college football game IN NEBRASKA. AS VISITORS. And stirring up shit. And that makes me laugh, because I can't comprehend the kind of sheer numbness necessary to live in that place. It just feels like 1 out of 5 serial killers should be burly, corn-fed, bored-as-shit Nebraskans, but I don't believe that's the case?

    Kansas is very much the same, though it has some "hills" in one county. I cannot stress how oppressive it is to stand on a 3 story building and see the curve of the earth. The only thing I disliked more was the ocean.

    Have you ever been to southeastern Nebraska? Like... Where most people in the state live? It's nothing like western Nebraska. I live in Lincoln and it's a great place to live: progressive, lots of parks, great school system, nice downtown area, beautiful university campus, etc. Nothing like you're describing. Nebraskans don't actually go to western Nebraska very much.
