My Nebraska

Roger Welsch is a fierce fan of Nebraskanot just the football team, or the states famous beef, or its endless sky, or its ferocious and ferociously unpredictable weather, but the whole thing. His license plate says CAPT NEB, and he means it. Welsch loves Nebraska as the heart of Americas Great Plains. His perception of the state is not always conventionaloccasionally its even abrasivebut hes thought a lot about this place some call Fly-Over Country or The Middle of Nowhere or even The End of the Earth. And what he has to say about it makes interesting reading not just for natives but certainly also for outsiders, for those who love the place and those who would rather travel through hell than make another drive across Nebraska's endless miles.
