The old elementary school in Benedict, #Nebraska where my dad was principal and teacher (taught me in third grade). I poked around and went in some doors and it is clearly no longer a school. Someone told me later that it is owned by this couple and used for some kind of spiritual retreat center.

This was on a quick trip over to my home town when I was presenting at a conference in Lincoln.

When I ran into an old neighbor for the for the first time in 30 years he told me I was lucky I want shot for trespassing at my former school.

There would be no point in visiting a state with a late primary that throws entirely for one party. I’ve pointed this out to my state senator, but she suckles at the teat of Fox News and of our pig of a governor, who likewise kisses the president’s ass.
