1. People that let their daughters starting at the age of 13 run around with shorts that come up to their crotch and dresses that don’t cover their butt and let them run around town dressed like this. Is it because they are advertising that they want grandchildren that also live off welfare?
2. Some of the worst service I’ve had was at Sonic in North Platte. I’ll never go back.
3. It’d really be nice to not be constantly blown off. I just wish I was someone’s top priority.
4. Anyone wanna stay over tonight? We can make s’mores and stay up late, talk about the weather?
5. Just because you put a sticker on your car that shows you belong to a church does not give you the right to drive like an idiot!

1. The man at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds who was on fire duty was very rude to my husband in front of our four year old daughter. He came by to say that we weren’t supposed to be lighting off personal fireworks because te ground was too dry. They should have posted signs for this instead of sending Yogi around to rip some a**. We were lighting them on gravel ad being cautious. There were others lighting works in the grass, I hope this note gets passed along and this dude gets a lecture on social skills.
2. How about a big HELL YEAH to getting welfare cheats OFF of the Government payroll and make every last on of them pay for every red cent that they have stolen from the hard working taxpayers of this country?
3. Obama is a Hologram
4. How does the Denny’s in North Platte stay open? It’s terrible. with an hour wait for a meal, I’ll never go back.
5. You used to make fun of me in High School, but seeing a mug shot of you crying for drunk driving on the NP Post .. Priceless
6. When are they going to raise the speed limit in town?

STAPLETON, Neb. (AP) — The western Nebraska town of Stapleton is recognizing two milestones this month.
The town, which is about 30 miles north of North Platte, this week observed its 100th birthday and held a dedication ceremony for the town’s new community center.
Local media reports that the center has been four years in the making. The building was formerly a bowling alley.
The multi-use building is home to senior center meetings, council meetings and can be used for receptions and fairs.
Community leaders placed a time capsule with memorabilia from the first century of Stapleton’s history in the ceiling of the center to be opened in 2112.

……
1. If you can’t feed em, don’t breed em
2. The construction workers on North Jeffers need to be more cautious. I almost nailed a bobcat with a saw blade on it today and the barriers need to be set correctly so that people know which lane they are supposed to be in. In three trips through that intersection today I saw three near accidents.
3. How does someone on public assistance afford nearly $300 in fireworks? I guess I should also ask the question “How do they afford to drive that 2 year old Lincoln Navigator?”
4. Is the city oblivious to the drug problem in this town? I see drug deals happen in broad daylight every day and they do nothing about it. Maybe we should start posting pictures and video of the local dealers online?
5. Why is Buffalo Bill in jail in Cody Park? I always wondered that.
6. The Fort Cody Music Series on Thursday Nights are really cool.
