    I look forward to my cup of coffee every morning. Seriously the highlight of my days sometimes.

    Friday OT - Master Class

    I'd say a mix. I eat pretty well (and have found delicious macro-friendly meals) most of the time but allow myself an indulgence every now and then. I don't believe in cheat meals or cheat days, because I'm not cheating anything. Food should be enjoyed.

    Friday OT - Master Class

    I'd love to be a better cook/chef. I can follow a recipe, but I sometimes wish I was better at just making things up.

    Insurance in Iowa

    I don't disagree with some of your points, but I don't think I'm wrong in the issues I listed. We have had record storms the last few years. Maybe I don't have solid evidence, but I do believe the number of uninsured and underinsured drivers is increasing. And part of that is the cost of repairs...

    Noise complaint threatens Wooly's

    As far as I understand the issue -- an insurance call center moved in next door to Wooly's and the new neighbors are offended by the afternoon soundchecks for bands. The Des Moines Zoning Board is now considering revoking Wooly's liquor license, which would severely impact Wooly's. Probably kill...

    There are several studies showing that drivers have gotten worse post-Covid. Here's one article -- https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/insurance/pandemic-traffic-deaths

    Insurance in Iowa

    One thing I see in my area of claims is that too many people are underinsured. State liability minimums barely cover anything if a vehicle is a total loss. So if your vehicle is totaled due to someone else's negligence, your insurance cannot recover 100 percent. This results in some sizable...

    Higgins and Noel getting noticed

    On the Bigger Than 12 podcast, even David Duke got it wrong. And he's a Big 12 guy.

    Hopefully with all this recognition, people will start pronouncing Jaylin's last name correctly.

    Fall beer

    Fenders made a Festbier called Tweet Tweet Tweet and it has art of the Iowa State marching band on it. I'm going to start looking for West O Fest.

    Oh, I wasn't discounting that at all. Just giving more context. It's nuts he thinks working anywhere in public means silence. Unless it's a library. And even that is questionable. I speak from experience. I've gone to numerous libraries and coffee shops to write in the past. If I want to...

    There are several threads dedicated to the game. Did we need a whole new one for your complaint?

    Ames Lager Availability (updated)

    Have you checked the HyVee on Court Ave? Their spirits section was always pretty robust. Otherwise, it's probably worth a trip to West Des Moines. I'd start at the HyVee on Mills Civic (they have the best beer selection, IMO).

    Do you still listen to music from your high school years? Neural Nostalgia

    I regularly listen to Alanis Morrissette's "Jagged Little Pill" album, which came out when I was a sophomore in HS. It's still a solid listen from beginning to end. I think that's the only one I listen to the WHOLE album. I also enjoy some 90s country (Deana Carter, Tim McGraw, Mark Chesnutt...
