Omaha Landscaping Companies

Omaha Landscaping Companies

I look out my window in the morning and, for the most part, I like what I see. Sometimes, however, I want to see more. More plants, more bushes, more flowers, more trees, more birdbaths. So I’ve been looking at companies that do Omaha landscaping, and I’ve liked what I’ve seen for the most part. Some of these guys are really professional, doing job after job well, on time and on... [Read more]


North Omaha’s Youth Are Destined To Fail

North Omaha’s Youth Are Destined To Fail

The above statement, framed as a title, is true. There is a significant portion of the youth living in the North Omaha community that is beyond hope of anything better in life than what you see on the news on a nightly basis.

Do A Threat Assessment On Your Own Life

Do A Threat Assessment On Your Own Life

Threat assessments are a fairly common practice nowadays. In the line of work I’m in, threat assessments are done on a regular basis. If countless businesses and government agencies feel the need to plan out mitigating the harm done to them by forseeable disasters, why aren’t you doing the same? When is the last time you conducted a threat assessment, on yourself? It’s a pretty... [Read more]


Surviving A Terrorist Attack On A Shopping Mall

Surviving A Terrorist Attack On A Shopping Mall

While the current trend for developers who build shopping malls is to design a more “outdoor” type of mall, there are still many, many “indoor” malls that see a ton of traffic on a daily basis. Maybe it’s just my twisted nature, but I’ve been of the opinion for some time that malls have long been soft targets for anyone with terrorism in mind. I have been quite... [Read more]
