In Nebraska for the opening of our new Vietnam Veterans Memorial, I take it easy on the diplomat by only asking him to solve SOME of all the world's problems during our short conversation.

Here are several conversations from across the morning (Scott filled in for Gary this morning = More Voorhees!):  D-Day commemoration in Omaha, Sheriff Hanson stops in to support our Camp + Care Radiothon, Sarpy County homeowners get their valuations, and Crista Eggers with Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana is coming down the home stretch in her years-long effort.

Taste:  A sheepish clarification about yesterday's show everyone hated.
Taxes:  A push for the EPIC Tax.
Talent: Omaha native Kevyn Morrow leaves the stage and screen for a moment to join us in the studio.

We also talk road construction, streetcars, Little River Band, and more!

Stephanie Olson of the Set Me Free Project knows that this big event in Omaha this month brings more than baseball fans to the area.

I can't believe they sent this jury home!  But there's a lot about this trial I can't believe.  After that discussion, we turn our attention to a few local crime stories (including with a machete!), being attacked by your neighbor's tree, and a few other things before a live performance by the band Southern Nights!

Thanks for the email, Robert De Niro!

The title of this podcast refers to the latest downpours we've received, the dangerous situation for those living on the streets, and the fact that Lucy is mentally washed out from being on the radio all night.  Also, we share the fascinating story of the lady who got bitten by a priest!

I came back from a few days off with just two things to say.  After that, a public service announcement to those who maybe haven't gotten around to something the rest of us have been doing for 2+ months.
