looks like the football field isn't showing any signs of the current drought 

also looks like every 5 yards on the field are darker green then lighter green 

It would appear that way.  J Von, confirm??

Ya, but I was trying to get in and out of there pretty quick so the only time I looked at the field was when I took that picture.  All I can say is that the camera seems to do a good job of keeping colors true to life.

I'll take a few more pictures next time I'm up there.

K-State Sun Bears >>> K-State Grizzly Bears

the only reason I know that there is such a thing as a sun bear is that they toss cantaloupes to them in the omaha zoo from way up above the tree line in their cage and when it's getting close to cantaloupe time they crawl up to the top of their trees to try to catch the cantaloupes.  pretty great.  maybe I would choose sun bear now that you mention it.

did i ever tell you that when i went to the omaha zoo that one of the monkeys was chewing gum. he'd chew on it and then grab an end and stretch it out really long with the other end still in his mouth and then he'd throw it all back in and chew some more. it was great. i mean, when monkeys do things like they people, like wear clothes or chew gum or smoke or whatever it always makes me laugh.

  Just once I want to hear someone from Omaha talk about something other than the zoo.

have you heard about the college world series?

[wes mantooth]

guys, the only zoo permissible to talk about in this thread is the World Famous Sunset Zoo.

As someone who doesn't know much about Omaha, I'm always wondering how they get such nice stuff.  Is it Buffett, Nebraska Furniture Mart, some other industry I don't know about?  Seems like a pretty cool place for not being in a cool place.

It's the same grass color but every 5 yards the knap changes direction

Well, somebody has never seen Cannonball Run

[j-von]

Not to get all technical on you guys, but the horizontal thingy is on the tower crane.  I don't have time to make it up there today but I took a shot with my phone from my front door.  I was really hoping I'd be able to see it

I am going to Omaha with the fam tomorrow.  Gonna hit the zoo.  Can't wait to see sun bears eating melon.

Also, J-Von, break into the BTF and get some inside pics.  TIA.

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

Your neighbors have fantastic grass given the dry summer in MHK.

I thought about it last time I was up there.  I'm pretty good about going places I know I shouldn't but walking through the BTF would be a little strange flying solo.  If anybody wants to be my spotter for that mission let me know.

Next time I'm up to the football stadium I'm gonna try to get up to the east side upper deck and get some new shots from that direction. Hopefully that will give some more context to the pictures since it's been hard to get any wide angle shots.
