    Nostalgia - Childhood Toys

    Oh my…I remember now. Hobby craft store downtown Burlington. Wood plank floor. Ford Fairlane model and Testors bottles of paint. Long bicycle ride up hills to get home.

    Nostalgia - Childhood Toys

    Christmas, shortly after my dad died in 1961, my older sister wrapped this (or something very similar). The package was the most beautiful gift package I had seen in a troubling time in our lives. I received a stylish sweater, I was seen wearing it in a couple of years in class photos. I was 9...

    Mono

    I had mono in school, I walked in on roommate once, he was spraying my bed with Lysol. Didn’t really blame him. Agree, mitigation not practiced. Speaking as one spending visits in emergency room with Covid and later RSV.

    Stanley Kubrick: Love or Hate

    As I age and more brain cells fade away, I do remember what I call a good movie. It must envelope me. The sights, sounds, character development make me forget I’m in a theatre watching actors and CGI. Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke made me watch or read 2001, 2010, 2061 and 3001. Clarke took me to...

    Atmosphere…horrible

    Now a couple of observations, you may enter parking lot 6 hours before start of game. That has been burned into our first-in-line brains. Suddenly no explanation “line up at 9:30am enter at 10am. I’m circling like in musical chairs waiting to be first in line. Last game 50 cops prevented being...

    Atmosphere…horrible

    I’ll explain, I have one of those rotating sets of different accessibility handy cap “seats”. I‘ve lately been near the students. I used to have a regular seat in section 5, so I could easily enjoy students AND band. Being see and hear the students is a joy, so much fun. When Otz was leading...

    Cytown Update

    Are tired, old McFarland, newer Mary Greeley, middle age Medical Arts Building, numerous pop-up outreach clinics what you mean? I imagine building, financing, whatever a new CYTown clinic is easier than giving the Ames main McFarland Clinic a refresh.

    Cytown Update

    Operating 24 hr/dy plus adding daycare services, I could envision 800 a day. Sending test customers would give a more accurate number. As someone else mentioned, ISU is an engineering school, bringing 800 people into the clinic during the open streets during the game on football Saturdays Is...

    Jamie Pollard statement regarding ticket scanning process during home opener

    Are Iowa fans familiar with this system? No, then you’ll hear them complain about the lack of scanners and not enough PortaPots. They would be heard over our complaining.

    After parking and tailgating in the “free spot“ at the ends of angled rows for decades, I was concerned when I and many others stopped to monitor and measure the new parking spaces. Cyclones did an excellent job tailgating on the bark mulch In the available perimeter spaces. People finding...
