The latter is the reason I voted for Nebraska. Besides that they are really boring states, been to both. Isn't Johnny Carson from Nebraska by the way?

Technically he was born in Carter Lake, IA which is next to Omaha. Carter Lake used to be on the Iowa side of the Missouri River but has since changed its course and is now actually on the Nebraska side. I could go more into oxbow lakes and all that jazz but no one really cares. The moral of this story, rivers make horrible political boundaries.
