I thought this was a pretty cool reply to the reporter from LA. I went to college in Crete so I thought he made a good point.
Dear TJ of the LA Times...... I can understand your concerns about our lifestyle...In my hometown of Crete, Nebraska, located about 20 miles southwest of Lincoln, Our lifestyle is certainly "Un Californiaiish". Do you realize that:
1. I live 1/4 mile from my Veterinary Clinic so my commute to work is all of 20 seconds.
2. I live in a house with about 5000 sq. ft....own 7 acres, and can catch a 5 lb bass, right off of my deck.
3. I live about 1/2 mile from "gangs" of Turkey, deer, Canadian Geese and bobcats and none of them are "armed".
4. Your Pete Carrol coached guys have had a nice run of 58-6 these past 5 years which is second only to my Huskers who went 60 and 3 from 93-97 with 3 National Championships.
5. I can spell "Murder" but there hasn't been one in these parts for at least my 50 years.
6. My house has a lock on its door.....but we have never had to use it.
7. In Crete, People spend $100,000 on houses......not cars
8. When I go to church, I care about the other 300 members because I have known most of them....most of my life.
9. My kids can walk to school and walk around downtown and in shopping malls without a guarded escort.
10.On a clear day, I can see the Capital 25 miles away......I'm not even sure what "Smog" is.
11.......And last but not least......I am about 4 fairway woods from a golf course where it costs $9 to play.
I would invite you to spend some time with me the week before the USC game, but our village already has an idiot and currently, we are not advertising for anyone else to take his place.......As Always in Huskerville...GFL
