A long time ago.... Heck, in the 90s, I spent a bit of time in Nebraska. I spent a cold January there.
It's a long story, for another day- I have talked some about it here, but it was actually a pleasant time in my life, though I was very isolated.
I did not have a car, and I did a lot of walking. It was nice (though again, Nebraska in January=cold). A couple of nights I walked to a restaurant by myself and enjoyed some meals there.
The restaurant.... doesn't matter. It was a fast-food place.
But the whole experience and time there was very sweet to me, and it was a major moment in my life. When I came back to Kentucky things changed, in a good way. Spending time away was good for me, and I would start dating my future wife right when I came back home.
The trip, and the time away was a significant moment in my life.
And there are days that I think about hanging out at that restaurant. Some days I look it up on googlemaps and think about how lucky the people are that get to go there and work there. I am kind of jealous of them.
I feel a bit of an attachment to this odd little restaurant, in smalltown Nebraska.
