Der Missouri
25 oktober 2017, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Hier gibt es tatsächlich eine Fußgänger- und Radbrücke über den Missouri. Der Fluß markiert die Grenze zwischen Nebraska und Iowa und gleichzeitig zwischen dem wilden Westen und dem zahmen Osten des Landes.Meer informatie

Ah! Ein Selfie von Dir. DANKE! Mehr davon bitte. Bis ja immer noch ganz braun. Das Wetter ist wohl auch noch gut. PRIMA. Hier kommt der Herbst immer mehr an. Es wird hier schon um 18 Uhr dunkel. Aber die Temperaturen sind noch recht angenehm. Gruß Heidi

Ich muss Heidi zustimmen. Du hast gut Farbe bekommen. Weiterhin viel Spaß ohne Pannen. Vg Diana

Also den Missouri hab ich mir irgendwie majestätischer vorgestellt, also mehr Strom als Bachlauf. Der könnte ja glatt als Ruhr oder renaturierte Emscher durchgehen. Ein schönes Wochenende mit guter Verpflegung (pasta, o. ä.) wünscht der Jost vom F 18

Walked to Iowa and back for lunch
3 juni 2022, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
Arrived in Omaha about lunch time. The only thing we are"seeing" here is the Bob Kerry pedestrian Bridge. Just a nice, no charge, outdoor experience. This location is also home to a Lewis and Clark trail museum, but we have been forgoing most of these so we can keep driving. The pedestrian Bridge is sort of the anchor for the development of the river front, so there is still ongoing work. But the plaza and water feature was fun and the bridge allows you to walk across the "Big Muddy" (Missouri River) to Council Bluffs, Iowa. It is a 0.9 K walk to the other side.

So we walked to Iowa for lunch!

Council Bluff side is nice as well. Sat in their plaza and enjoyed our lunch. Warm day for a walk so thankfully had a little shade structure to use. Pretty quiet, but I guess since it's still a week day with school in session not as many out and about.Meer informatie

Charlie LOVES water
3 juni 2022, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
Posting this "footprint " separately so I could include video of the pup. With this app you either get one video (per footprint) or 6 pics.
Charlie had so much fun in the water feature! Since it was on the Omaha side she got to play in it as we headed across and again when we came back. Perfect way to cool her off!Meer informatie

Day 11 - B Bar
15 juli 2022, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Todays drive was about 6 hours. We woke up and had breakfast with our hosts. Doug told me his blowup mattress they gave him didn’t work and lost air so he slept on the floor.

We made our way to Nebraska, on the way stopping at Arthur Bryant’s in Kansas City. Amazingly enough (or oddly) I got ribs which were great; I should have gotten more sauce but the woman was berating me for pouring some in my take out container. Not to mention the dudes there “loved” my Instant Lunch Maruchan shirt.

We got into Omaha and checked into the hotel which was a nice Hampton. Two rooms and I lost the “pick the year” penny game so I stayed with Doug. We then went to the place and it was dead; we found out this was supposed to be an after party for some festival and now they wanted us to play at 10pm. Problem is we have to get up at 7 to get to Branson by 2 or so. We order food (they didn’t have the pork tenderloins the guys wanted but I got a Buffalo chicken salad) and do soundcheck. Maybe the worst soundcheck ever. The guy couldn’t figure out how to stop the vocals from howling and everything was in the sub woofers. During the gig it was insane, some notes on the harmonica fed back and hummed. Andrew eventually removed the DI and used just the amp. Really the best part was Dennis G’s sisters boyfriend was there (John) not to mention Brian, the husband of the lady who came to see us at Fioras (Laura). I legitimately didn’t remember them, it’s been so long.

After the gig we landed up back at the hotel and I practically passed out. It was about 1-1:30 and it was time to call it a day!Meer informatie

Berkshire Hathaway, main event
5 mei 2018, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
At 8:30 the meeting started off with a custom video featuring Warren Buffett and a bunch of stars (Schwarzenegger, Floyd Meriweather, A-Rod). They showed a hilarious sped-up video showing Charlie Munger spending nearly 3 minutes trying to open a box of peanut brittle at a previous meeting, and it was entertaining to see how neither Buffett nor Munger take themselves seriously.

A little after 9 the meeting commenced with a brief introduction from Buffett and then a question and answer session coming from shareholders (the audience) and analysts. It was pretty cool to get an insight into how both of these brilliant men think and act. We both especially enjoyed Munger’s sense of humor delivered with witty zingers (e.g. “the man clearly doesn’t understand his own profession” directed at someone asking a dumb question).

The question and answer session went on for about six hours with a one hour break for lunch. We were disgusted to see how many people were disrespectful during the meeting: playing on their cell phones while sitting in the most coveted seats, chit chatting with their neighbors during the presentation, etc. People have no manners!Meer informatie

Berkshire Hathaway, Day 1

The meeting is held at the Convention Center downtown, and the first day is a expo of many of the companies that are owned by Berkshire Hathaway. They set up amazing displays and have storefronts where you can browse and shop. Some of the companies represented are See’s Candies, Borsheim’s, Justin Boots, NetJets, DQ, Fruit of the Loom, Dynamax, BNSF, and more than I can remember! It got us both very excited to see the main event tomorrow!!Meer informatie

Berkshire Hathaway, getting there
5 mei 2018, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
We woke up EARLY to get to the CenturyLink Center in Omaha to get into the meeting. First time I’ve seen a sunrise in quite a while. The meeting starts at 8:30 so we arrived a few minutes before 7 to get in line. Evidently thousands of people had the same idea because the line snaked all the way around the entire building and had doubled back on itself by the time we found the end. It took us about an hour of waiting in line before we made it through the front doors, and we entertained ourselves by watching the frantic people behind us and the heavily armed police holding semi-automatic rifles. I feel like we’re going to some popular rock concert!

Evidently there isn’t a space large enough to seat the 40,000 people in attendance, so the latecomers are directed to a secondary room where they watch the presentation on TVs. We wanted to be in the main room (which is a huge arena for sports events and concerts) so we jogged around trying different sections with no luck. Finally we jogged up to the nosebleed seats and snagged the last two seats in the section. We felt lucky to find them!Meer informatie
