Tonight is the third show day in a row, and Council Bluffs is ready! @londonfoginacup and @lululawrence brought the rainbows and will be handing them out with @jaerie and @sadaveniren so we hope everyone is ready. As has happened every night, we do not have enough for everyone, so if you have flags of your own you can bring along, please do! We are going to party with the rainbows and wave them high the entire megamix!

Dear Mr. Gaiman,
I wrote 'slut' on my girlfriend's balls with my tongue in a bedroom adjacent to a living room that contained a poster with Supernatural's Jared Padalecki on it. Could this be considered a violation of the SAG/WGA strike rules?
Yours Sincerely,
A Worried Unemployed Bicycle Mechanic In Council Bluffs, Iowa

Omaha - Council Bluffs (NE-IA)
21 July 2023
My goals for my second full day in Omaha were simple and they began with breakfast and coffee. I rode my bike to Early Bird Brunch, where I found a very large burrito. Then I rode to to Bad Seed on Harney for coffee (second day in a row). It was the last good latte I would have in a long time.
My route included Creighton University and Downtown, but then headed south, eventually past the zoo (Omaha has a big one). Then it was across the river into Iowa and north on bike paths and roads through the Missouri bottomlands of Council Bluffs (the bluffs themselves remained well to the east). The bike route winds north past sports fields, industries, and a big casino, before reaching River’s Edge Park and the Bob Kerry Bridge back across the Missouri River into Omaha.
An interesting geopolitical detail: my ride began and ended in Iowa, even though I was on the west side of the Missouri. Carter Lake, where my airport hotel was located, is a disenfranchised oxbow of the Missouri that was abandoned in the 1870s, but which still remains part of Iowa.

The Swoosh of Stair Steps .. [2 / 2]
Concrete seating built into the lawn at the Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park at the Iowan end of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, across Omaha at Council Bluffs, IA.
How does it compare to the black and white version (previous)?
