After reading all these posts it's apparent few if any of the respondents have actually seen an air ambulance land to pick up a victim. Where I work on the S.E. corner of the Des Moines metro we frequently have helicopters land on the road to meet ambulances from small communities to avoid rush hour traffic in DSM. Before the helicopter actually lands, it circles several times before landing. Having ridden in a helicopter before, unless its dark, it's easy to see where you're going and landing. The pilot ultimately decides where to land and is in communication with the ground crew. Very poor judgment on the pilot's behalf. The private hospitals own the choppers here. Broad Lawns (Polk county owned) doesn't have one. As far as horse people go, they don't impress me at all. When Platts Nursery in the middle of Waterloo Ia closed, a couple of horse people bought the 20 acre parcel and called a meeting of all of the residential adjoining land owners and informed them that an old city ordinance allowed them to have up to 80 horses. They planned to basically have a horse farm to provide boarding to anyone citing that they had to drive about 20 miles to Raymond and it was just too far. They would probably have between 20 to 30 horses on average. When Dad stood up and asked "What about the manure and the smell?" they said their horses weren't just any kind of horse, they were Arabians and wouldn't stink. Thankfully, the city told them they could have their 80 horses, but they must be THEIR horses. No boarding. They do have 3 horses last I knew. About half of the property was sold off and 3 high dollar homes have been built.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
