Jim Kissell, consulting engineer who spends many hours working with Nebraska City's engineering problems, told the story the other day about a man who returned to his home and smelled cigar smoke.
He doubted his wife when she told him no other man was around, but decided not to argue and went upstairs to shower before dinner.
As he entered the bathroom he saw the shadow of a man behind the shower curtain.
He flung the curtain open to find the cigar-smoking stranger.
"Cut that out!" he said, "I'm not through voting!"
I'm interested to know more about this coin-operated car wash coming to Nebraska City.

What that new word? Isa?
