We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: ABOVE THE PLAINS

ABOVE THE PLAINS

stars in the Nebraska sky seem too far away

until you live in the city then

they outshine anything else you can imagine

even in the winter

especially in the winter

outside about midnight

on our splintery deck I've often huddled

my breath puffing in the frosted air

sometimes I lay flat on my back just staring

until I get so dizzy I have to close my eyes

there isn't anything like it

no storefront window display can compare

no laser show

no birthday cake

no christmas tree

no nothing like it

except the winter sky of a Nebraska midnight
