Perfect

 

This sign in Lincoln, Nebraska, is a marvel: its position on the building, the fact that it is a No. 2 pencil, and the red neon outline--which still lights up--all combine to make it just fab.

Carry a Large Stick (Because You Are Very Large)

 

Technically a pool cue...this cool handmade guy was outside a--you guessed it--billiards parlor, somewhere in Nebraska.

Ball Gum

 

Gotta love an old-fashioned gum machine, especially a penny machine. Note that it says "Ford branded quality ball gum." Methinks the square Chiclet-type gum is a modern innovation--the slot at the bottom is rounded, so...

Nebraska: Pie Yum

 

I had hoped to have several pieces of pie in Nebraska, but we only had it on the very first day. And it was delicious!!! (We split a piece.) Below are all of your choices...happy that they defined "a la mode" for us.

Nebraska: World's Largest

 

...pair of overalls, on permanent display on the grounds of the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island. They are about 18 feet high and 7 feet wide at the waist. And yes, we did make a special trip to go see them!

Nebraska: Donut Chicken

 

Nebraska: Sky

 

Nebraska: Kool

 

Who knew that Kool-Aid was invented in Hastings, Nebraska? 

Nebraska: See How

 

We are in Nebraska to see the sandhill cranes. I'm still sorting photos (and I'm still here, so more photos may be taken!)...turns out, moving birds (in low light due to overcast March skies) are very hard to photograph--who woulda thought?

In the meantime, please enjoy this tatty billboard.

Arnold's Beer

 

Such a good sign...the colors, the bubbles, the arrow. The neon looks intact, so I do hope it lights up!
