How you know you are a Nebraskan!

We know that we, with a few exceptions for members from Iowa, are largely from Nebraska. Our name, Flatwater Austin Healey Club, is reflective of the fact that Nebraska is the Omaha Indian word for flat water, or the Platte River. However, many who have seen our name for the first time have asked, just

what characteristics are there about a person that makes an otherwise normal person Nebraskan? The following traits may give some guidance as to what it is that sets Nebraskans apart from other human beings.

You Know You Are A Nebraskan If:

• During a storm you check the cattle before you check the kids.
• You are related to more than half of your hometown.
• Your quarterback is hurt, you are hoping it is the lead story on the six o'clock news and it is!
• You use your life savings to go to the Nebraska-Colorado Game.
• You can wear red and white overalls in public and not feel stupid.
• There is a tornado warning and the whole town is outside watching for the tornado.
• You think Abraham Lincoln was named for the capital of Nebraska.
• You know the Woodman tower is not made of wood.
• You don't buy all of your vegetables at the grocery store.
• You go to the Husker Harvest Days and it is your only vacation.
• You are on a first name basis with the county sheriff.
• Little Smokies are something you serve only on special occasions.
• You go to the lake because it is like going to the ocean.
• You have the number of the coop feed store on speed dial.
• You know what the "sea of red and white" is.
• You think using the elevator involves a grain truck.
