Newspaper Needs
Dear NEBRASKAland,
I just read your article in the May
issue of the magazine. As a young
boy in Boy Scouts, we enjoyed cold
weather camping. My father told me
that before going to sleep at night
to wrap my feet in newspapers for
insulation and put bread sacks over
them. As a kid, I thought that was the
weirdest thing I've ever heard. But my
feet were always warm and toasty.
Also, at home nothing works better
for cleaning windows than a newspaper
instead of paper towels or a cotton
cloth. There are no streaks and no bits
of fabric. I also use newspapers to help
caps, hats and even Halloween masks
to keep their form. I really enjoyed the
article.

Kody Brown from Lincoln shared this photo on Facebook of a barred owl. "It was a
cold morning at Pioneers Park, and this owl was just watching me," Brown said.
