Big sloth day. Make coffee, drink. Make food, eat. See what internet peeps are doing.

I should probably get out of sleeping clothes and go bird walkabout.

Did finally see my Theo Wirth Park great horned owls for the first time this year two nights ago....mostly too dark for good photo, maybe worth another try. If I go walkabout for an hour or so I'll feel less sloth-like.

I think my back went out just watching that. On the plus side her boyfriend is really going to like that flexibility later in life.
 
What a great day at work today, got done in great time. Took a good single track ride over at Austin. Had supper with my niece and fiance.

Bought a dozen ears of corn yesterday. Boiled 2 last night, prepping the rest to freeze for later in the year.
 
Where did the term blowing smoke up your (rear) come from? Was there something people blew up their rears instead? I know what the expressions means, but how did that come to be?

Some quick google research says that doctors in the 1700s literally blew tobacco smoke up the rear ends of people thought to be dead trying to revive them, but that the idiom didn't appear until the late 40s, long after that 'medical procedure' died out.

Biker Biker for 30 miles. DND. Theme song was Windy by The Association for obvious reasons. I spy no corgis, one vintage car....uneventful.

Well I was just on the elevator with another ISU grad who moved to Fla from Co because 1) they wanted to 2) for his son who plays football and to get better exposure. So there is an eligibility situation out there.

Also standing in the shallows of the gulf and this woman starts screaming wildly. I think she sees a friend. Then notice she is looking at me and yelling about the cyclones. (I had an ISU shirt on). Also had a guy on another elevator ride talk to me about a center (John Kuhner?) who was a brother of his coworker that got into a fight during a game. Early 70s or late 60s he thought. I’m not even that old.

a woman from Ohio heard i was from Iowa and asked if I grew potatoes. (Ok, what is the right spelling for more than one potato? Auto correct stuck an e in it and I remember Dam Quayle was called a moron because he had that in there for a spelling bee).

I know there was a family in Dubuque (they owned a sporting goods store) that had a few of their boys play college basketball -- last name of Kunnert. I believe Kevin Kunnert got some NBA time.
edit: Just looked up John Kunnert -- played center for ISU from 78-82.

If any one collects antique radios, check out Steffes Group auctions Donna Miller auction in West Burlington. I did not know there was a west Burlington.
