In the safety of dark...

Dear Winter Solstice,

The residents of Lincoln, Nebraska want to personally thank you for granting us the privilege of darkness. Too often do we wake up, look outside, realize we live in this awful awful state, and then are tormented by this fact for 12 hours or more. Of course you can understand how retched this makes us as a community feel... realizing as the corn continues to surround us that our futures are about as bland and undigestible as these tall stalks that surround us.

So, to you Winter Solstice, we offer our sincerest gratitude. In the safety of dark we can imagine that we've gotten away from our home town and not be constantly reminded that our lives have played out like the Bruce Springsteen song "Glory Days." In the safety of the dark we can be anyone we want to be. In the safety of the dark we don't have to be reminded we live in Nebraska.

Sincerely yours,

The Residents of Lincoln, Nebraska
