Cedar Rapids smells like badly fermented Waffle Crisp. Do you live near the cereal factory?

You're forgiven, bear. <btw, it's sister swimpy>

Pleased to meet you, sassy. I've been the CR many times. It's a nice place. The "City of Five Smells." Wink

I live in Dubuque. We're neighbors!

I like that sentence. Sounds like a grade school taunt.

Bunch of kids at the Cedar Rapids vs. Newton football game.

The Cedar Rapids kids shout, "NEWTON SMELLS LIKE COW CRAP!!"

The angry Cedar Rapids kids shout back, "CEDAR RAPIDS SMELLS LIKE BADLY FERMENTED WAFFLE CRISP!!"

There's a nice little river town in Iowa where I spent a couple of days hiding out.

I think it might have been called McGregor.

McGregor is a nice little river town. Who were you hiding from?

I'd better not say. They're still looking for me.

My roots are from Iowa. Dad - Boone, Mom - Ft Dodge. My dad was the only child out of 15 that left the farm. I remember summer vacations at Lake Okoboji , the Amusement Park ... the good old days!

At this point, the family owns huge chunks of Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. and then the rest are spread out. My dad was 1 of 15, his dad was 1 of 6, and they all had families the size of my dads. If you're from Iowa, you will have heard my last name. They're like fricking rabbits! The family tree just from my initial U.S. ancestors that got here in the 1650's is around 4,200, and I haven't looked for a while.
