  Wow,  what a great weekend. it had all the stuff a good weekend requires:  Good weather Good horses Good company Good music Good racing Good times I went to the George Strait concert on Saturday night. nbsp;  AWESOME.
nbsp;  It has been ages since I have seen the man. nbsp; nbsp; incidentally,  this was the first time I have&
nbsp; seen George Strait of legal beer consuming age. nbsp;  Having a beer while& nbsp; listening to this old (
and still handsome)  cowboy really did raise the bar for enjoying& nbsp; a George Strait concert. nbsp;  What I like about&
nbsp; George Strait& nbsp; is& nbsp; that it's not about flare,
 flash,  or smoke and lights ( for those of you& nbsp; who have& nbsp;
seen Pure Country , nbsp; that last part makes sense) nbsp;  He is about singing songs and playing music. nbsp;
 The Ace in the Hole Band was on too,  they just want to play music. nbsp;  It was great. nbsp;  It's always great when you can go to a concert and be one hour into it and know that they haven't even played half of their best songs.
that you still have an hour of great music to go. nbsp;  Wonderful,  simply wonderful.  However great the music was,  I need to comment briefly on the venue.
nbsp;  I am not a huge fan of the Quest Center Omaha. nbsp;  It's really in a strange spot and parking is mostly miserable. nbsp;  The worst part of the Quest Center is the frickin' Omaha cops that are supposed to direct traffic and people.
nbsp;  They CLEARLY need to take a lesson from the Lincoln cops who direct traffic/ people on a Husker Football day! nbsp;  Fellow Huskers,  you know EXACTLY what I am talking about.
nbsp;  The Lincoln PD has a P- L- A- N on game day. nbsp;
 Everyone is expected to adhere to said plan and everything is orderly. nbsp;  Omaha police need a lesson in this. nbsp;  For example,  if,
 on game day,  you choose to risk your life and cross the street when you are not given permission by LPD,  you will get your ass chewed all the way across the street. nbsp;  Omaha PD had people jaywalking,  stopping traffic,
 ignoring red lights and pretty much creating a cluster- f* nbsp;  We needed an LPD officer to scream "  GET ON THE SIDEWALK NOW " nbsp;
 Folks,  on Husker game day,  you do not mess with LPD,  and that's that.  The race. nbsp;
 Ahhhhh. it was nice to have NASCAR back this weekend. nbsp;  I am such a redneck,  I know. nbsp;
 Kasey Kahne had a top ten finish,  that's awesome,  just getting points and getting closer and closer to that win. nbsp;  I love ya Kasey! nbsp;
 Also,  my two other favorite drivers,  Ryan Newman and Jamie McMurray,  were in the top ten as well. nbsp;  Super.
nbsp;  Get em' boys! nbsp;  I also learned that& nbsp; I do not want to have second degree burns on my body.
nbsp;  Little E looked miserable,  I am not sure that I have seen anyone in quite that much pain. nbsp;  Sheesh.  I'm off to St.
 Louis tomorrow. nbsp;  I am quasi- excited about this trip. nbsp;  I have to present my research at the American Society of Animal Scientists National Meetings.
nbsp;  That part is sort of boring,  but I have a night to mess around in St.  Louis. nbsp;  I have never been there before,
 so I might hit the riverboats,  play a little Let It Ride,  go to the arch and do that touristy stuff. nbsp;  Wednesday is going to kick butt as Kristi and I have tickets to the John Mayer concert in Bonner Springs,  KS on our way&
nbsp; home. nbsp;  I love the amphitheater in Bonner Springs. nbsp;  Outdoor sound,
 beer,  seeing John Mayer on a road trip,  getting to wear my almost alternative clothes,  two concerts in& nbsp; five days.
SHIT YEAH! nbsp;  " If you want love,  we'll make it" nbsp;
 John Mayer& nbsp;
