I have been keeping chickens off and on for over 10 years now. In fact, in 2016 I made my very first Instagram post (@jerkofalltradeshebert), showing my one and only attempt at delving into meat birds after raising laying hens for a year or two. For the record, I would raise chickens for meat again but put a lot more thought into the planning. Now, I could have made an economic case for the meat birds.

I started writing what would become my first novel when I was a junior in high school way back in 2004. I continued to tinker and add to it over the next ten years. Through college, landing my first big boy job, and getting married it would always stay in the periphery, until I found a reasonable conclusion. But what then? It was 2015, I had no experience with self-publishing and didn’t know what to do with it once I did get it published.

School districts have made some progress in addressing the national shortage of school bus drivers, but there still aren’t as many drivers as there were in 2019, according to a new study.

OMAHA — State Sen. John Cavanaugh picked up two more endorsements from local unions in his bid to be the Democratic nominee in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.

The two endorsements came from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen and the Nebraska State Legislative Board and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. This brings Cavanaugh’s union endorsements to six.
