Football Ticket Price Increase

I was just looking at my invoice to renew my football tickets for next year and noticed that prices had increased. Ticket prices were about a 7% price increase and seatbacks were a 39%:explode: price increase from last season. In the past, the athletic department has been pretty transparent with price increases. Did they make an announcement that I missed or are they just trying to quietly increase prices and hope people don't notice?

Reverse Osmosis System

I am wanting to install a reverse osmosis system in my house. My plan was to get a unit installed in the utility room for the fridge line and kitchen sink (not whole home). Anyone that has an RO system, do you have -

-recommendations on best RO units
-recommendations on plumbers in the DSM/Ankeny area for installation if needed
-insight/experience on owning one.
-opinions on whole home vs system for specific lines used for drinking/cooking water.

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Does anyone have a secret cave or rock wall I can use

Still working thru things but might need a secret cave or rock wall somewhere around central Iowa. A large boulder the size of a small boulder could work. Don't think I'll be able to outrun the park rangers at Ledges State Park, so probably best if it's on private land with some public access.

Nothing nefarious of course, just a completely normal and very common request. Email me if you're serious. Must be able to keep a secret.

While I have you here, any good cave or climbing stories around Iowa?
