IaGary or ?

We will be visiting her and seeing the sights. Noticed on the road map there is a farm museum south of IA City. May have a chance to eyeball some of you.

On another note, we just gor back from visiting her in Mobile, AL. Wettest city in the US and it didn't rain there last week. We drove down through south GA and south AL. It is DRY. Farmers below Corlele, GA were planting crops in the dust, probably cotton, peanuts and soybeans. Some were running center pivots to get the crop up which is bad. I'm sure those guys would rather see that expensive system sit idle. I think they have wells but I did notice one place with 2 or 3 ponds in line, all full. I don't think they are going overboard on corn, though west of Bainbridge, GA there was corn a foot high. Near Bainbridge there is a sweet corn processing operation, their corn was waist high and tasseling. Obviously a special variety. They were watering it.
In spite of all the dry weather one guy managed to get an 8 wheel tractor stuck in what must have been the only marshy area of a large field. The area is coastal plain and rolling enough not to need tiling IMO.

Most times in town the streets are kept pretty clear.The county and Iowa dot do a good job also.

When the weather is bad take the bus. The university has an great bus system.

Every winter varies here in Iowa. Some years we may only get a few inches of snow. Others, like this last year, we get a lot of ice and snow.

If she keeps her car fairly clean the salt effect is minimal.

My niece is a nurse at the hospital and she lives within walking distance of the hospital.

If she comes during the summer and gets use to it gradually she will get along just fine.

When she gets here I can give her my phone # so she can call if she has any problems.

I am only 20 minutes from the hospital.

I should have mentioned also that I have a daughter, 2 sister in laws, a brother in law and several friends that work there.

Get me her name when she gets here and we will make her feel at home. Do you know what department she will be in?

Gary

Thanks for advice. She is going to be in Pediatric Cardiology. The house she is looking at is in a development at the edge of a corn field 4 miles from the hospital. Mostly a 4 lane road to work. May not get that one, problems with poor work, housing inspector said all the concrete work in that development had bad concrete.

The dry area I referred to had rain yesterday and last night. Rain here now, needed, but i want to cut hay.
