Have I told this story before?
I believe Nebraska's law on what fireworks are illegal is a little more lax than Iowa's...at least it is in Lancaster County. (Lincoln)
So the city of Lincoln had just passed the smoking ban in indoor public places. We're driving home through the post-fireworks display traffic, and through the blue haze of all the private fireworks, we read a billboard that says "Enjoy Smoke-Free Lincoln!"
When I lived in Omaha, it was easily the smokiest city I've ever been in. I couldn't believe the percentage of people that smoked. But as far as being an annoyance to me, it was still a REALLY distant second to Husker fans.
