He got Cedar Rapids right....

Here in IOWA it seems as if we are now down to 2 seasons-Summer and Winter. Minus 1 here this AM.

Been to all those places bird hunting. I love Iowa, but the folks are not too demonstrative.
Reserved I'd say.

One of my best friends, Dale, now dead, was an Iowa farmer and school bus driver and when he would call, you better plan to spend an hour on the phone. The man never learned how to say good bye. I sure miss him.

Love this. Hope you don"t mind, but I copied it to share on Facebook.
Good Luck and God Bless
