I've heard Potosi is a pretty cool little town. I've also heard the beer is terrible.
As if we needed another reason to avoid Western Iowa.

Western Iowa beach closed after confirmed case of rare brain infection
A Taylor County beach is temporarily closed for swimming as a precaution after a case of a rare brain infection was confirmed.
Wondering what the rules are on that class action lawsuit with roundup. Have a neighbor who participated and I don’t think she has ever been in a farm in her life.

You mean that metropolis town in between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City?
Wellllllll...that might explain a lot about the folks there...As if we needed another reason to avoid Western Iowa.

I feel like I've had one of their beers (likely a pale ale of some sort) and it wasn't too bad but I don't seek it out or anything.
Never been to the town I don't believe.
Heard they were devastated when I said I couldn’t make it this year. The most well known FES to ever attend.
I kinda hate raccoons based on them raiding my bird feeder (before I raccoon proofed it), pooping under my deck (was their nightly poop stop until I installed deck skirts to keep them out) and at one point living there (that ended poorly for Rocky). Went walkabout around 10:00 last night and disturbed a big one raiding a garage can. He growled at me, I growled back and thought if this was a rural area you'd regret growling at me. Did I mention I am not a fan and really do hate them?
Same here,: they used to rip open bags of very expensive feed supplements, killed our chickens - just slit their throats, didn't eat them all, ruined sweet corn by taking one bite and going on to the next ear, ripped the underside out of a little Dodge Colt I had to get to the cat food I thought I had hidden securely in the trunk, broke flower pots to eat worms in the soil, murdered our kittens, and probably other crimes that I can't think of right now.
I don't mind a wild animal trying to make a living, they have to eat, too, and they don't choose to be a critter, but raccoons are just unnecessarily destructive, seems to me.
I feel just a little bit honored today. The trip we're taking 2 granddaughters on in August is a Traveling Cyclones trip through ISU Alumni Assn., like the one we went on through the Panama Canal that was hosted by Jeff & Peggy Johnson.
We've been emailing back & forth with trying to add the granddaughters to our trip (we booked it in March, added one gd in May and the other gd in June, among other issues, and we got pretty chatty over email.
We got an email from the trip coordinator at ISU yesterday; the person who was going to host our trip had to back out (don't know why). So they asked if we would be willing to take ISU Alumni Assn flag with us and make sure it's in the ISU Alumni group photo and that it's hanging on the ship on flag day. There are usually 12-15 different Alumni groups on these cruises. Last time we met a bunch of Wazzu alumni and I proved my street cred by singing the Coman Hall theme song (the dorm that I lived in while at Wazzu). And of course, just like cockroaches, there were 3 Hawkeyes there from their "vast" UI Alumni Assn.
After the trip, we get to keep the flag.

What’s the age range like for those cruises? I’ve been trying to convince a friend that it’d be fun to go on one but he thinks we won’t have a good time because it’ll just be a big age gap.
