- Why, for god's sake? I'll admit, after being there for a while I've
- gotten cowed by the idea of havign been around for 2 decades, but it

- worked; didn't really *matter* one way or the other, because I'd
- been on my own for a year by the time it came around), and 20...
- well, it made me only a year away from being an ADULT. I'm dying for
- 21, because (particularly in Omaha) it's pretty damn hard to get a
- sense of community when the main community outlet is off limits.
