    On That Note: Revenge or Karmic Justice

    All three of the series were great at documenting the horrors of war but Pacific held the most meaning for my wife and me. My wife's father was a mechanic in the Army Air Corp and served on Guam patching up planes. My dad was in the Navy and was on some islands including Peleliu and, later...

    Nostalgia - Childhood Toys

    I also remember a few times on Christmas Eve when the entire family would go over to Omaha to look at the Christmas displays in the department store windows followed by supper in a restaurant (eating in a restaurant was a big deal for our family). Not quite a tradition but memorable.

    Nostalgia - Childhood Toys

    Yes, I too enjoyed the gluing and painting model pieces. It was much later that I learned "glue-sniffing" was probably a contributing factor.

    Those things could break your bones. Instead; we tried to perfect Verne Gagne's "Sleeper" hold on each other.

    J'Vonne Hadley (Curtis Jones' cousin) to have zoom meetings with Iowa State & MSU this week

    Another complication that has a major impact is taxes. If athletes are employees of the colleges and universities you create social security, medicare, minimum wage, unemployment, and whatever concerns for all athletes at all schools with scholarship athletic programs. Although a few schools...

    I have plans to be in Indianapolis for the totality but it's only going to be about three minutes there so should I head down your way to get an extra two minutes?

    USS Arizona - After all this time . . .

    My family's experience in WW II: My mother's uncle was on the older end of eligibility and went to work in an airplane factory. One of my mother's aunts was a nurse and became one of the early female Army officers. I believe she was not deployed overseas. My aunt's husband and my dad joined...

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    For those who believe that Omaha's departure is primarily due to inaccurate evaluations or poor development by the coaches, you may be right but you also may be wrong similar to those who won't rate Brock Purdy as a pro more highly because they had rated him so low pre-draft. They refuse to...

    If you got that Venn diagram from Kamala, I wouldn't trust it.

    Which Iowa border state would you be most afraid of in a state vs state civil war?

    None of that matters to Missouri; that's another reason we should fear them.

    Which Iowa border state would you be most afraid of in a state vs state civil war?

    Missouri: Not smart enough to: 1. Realize they have insufficient resources (neither physical nor cognitive) to wage an effective war. Collateral and self-inflicted damage would be mind boggling. 2. Realize that attacking Iowa would be of no use to them. Attacking Arkansas or Louisiana with...
