I was reminded of this syntactic phenomenon last week after Nebraska State Sen. John Cavanaugh of Omaha announced his candidacy for the U.S. House in the state’s 2nd Congressional District.

Making Eye Contact And Small Talk With Strangers Is More Than Just Being Polite − The Social Benefits Of Psychological Generosity

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Wed, 06/04/2025 - 12:00am

The Flying Nun: Sister Stephanie, 81, Rappels Down Omaha Building As She Lifts Up City’s Neediest

The people waiting their turn to rappel down the 17-story Highline Apartments building had strict instructions: Don’t come up to the roof until we come get you.
