America’s Official 4th of July City
Seward Nebraska: population 6,500
Seward Nebraska: number of fireworks stands: 9
A few days ago the fireworks stands started opening. As of today, there are 9 of them scattered around the town, and I’m not sure we saw all of them. They tend to clump together, as you can see on this map. While I was doing a little yard work I found 4 bottle rocket sticks in the grass. Everyone’s getting ready for the 4th, so come on over (but we’ll be in Missouri).
So, that’s what’s going on. Click on the picture for a readable copy (it’s a pdf).

Brad’s Room - check
Brad, your room is ready. Well, it’s not vacuumed yet but we’re pretty sure you won’t care if that doesn’t get done. Right? The drawers from our old bed now have a home, too. Remember when they looked like this? Well, they live in Brad’s room now as a ‘dresser’. I stacked them, [...]

The Lauren Made Me Do It.
We were watching a movie on the new monitor a few weeks ago and it was skipping frames. Lauren asked why it was doing that and I said my computer was too slow for the fantastically amazing resolution of the new monitor. She said I should get a new computer. I actually just changed the [...]

A step backwards, I think.
Brad is coming to town Thursday, and ever since Lloyd’s brothers visited, we’ve been sleeping in Brad’s room. Now it’s time for us to move back to our own bed. (I haven’t slept in our bed since before Christmas.) We’ve been toying with several methods of how to achieve slantiness - diagrams have [...]

So long old friends
I cleaned out my closet(s) yesterday. I think I sent about two dozen shirts and several pairs of pants off to Goodwill. Lauren did all of the folding and packaging, as I was in no condition to do any of that after the agonizing decisions I had to make. Several of the shirts were old [...]

Con*Blo*Gar Update
Well, heck. I knew I’d have to make some sort of support for these tomato plants, but I was hoping to smelt and forge some sort of tomato ladder or cage, and I also thought I’d have a lot of time to put that off. Nope. I went to check on the plants this afternoon and [...]

Mystery Unsolved
Remember back in November when we had the mystery liquid on the basement floor, and it turned out to be Rain-x in the closet upstairs that was dripping on the floor? Well, a couple of weeks ago I noticed that the closet floor was wet again, but didn’t know why. My [...]

I’m on my way.
Behold, the power of the Internet: Already one person coming to Seward. Anyone else? With us gone there’s room for about 5 more adults or 17 college students.
I really don’t think that red and white striped one is a fireworks stand. It didn’t seem to have any traffic going in and out.
….. unless it’s a top secret fireworks stand….
So what did Seward determine are the foundations of freedom?
You’ll have to stop by to find out.
Plum Creek? You have a Plum Creek in Seward?!? Awesome!!
And free shuttle service? What a great town!! Oh how I wish I was just a little closer to NE. I’d be on my way too!!
I plan to be in Seward on the 4th!! Maybe I will go and see the anvil drop (or firing). Why do I kid myself, I won’t make it to Seward by 7:30am. I’ve only seen this once and I was really hung over.
Ahh…the most popular way to spend the 4th of July in Seward. Good times.
Indiana can sell fireworks year round, so we have plenty of brick and mortar locations. A few years ago, one of them (Boomtown Fireworks) had a electrical fire in their building. Boomtown when boom! I think I would have paid to watch that burn.
Not quite so funny was the VW dealership right next door that lost a few vehicles in the incident.
