Thanks Wayne. To tell the truth, many people make fun of Omaha. Not
a sexy place, but honest, and the food's good, here and there. If the
weather is nice in the Midwest in March, people are in a good mood
about almost anything.
The main reason we went was to go to the zoo. I'll get those photos
up tomorrow. Warning: I kind of went ape over the primates.
