Looks like it would make even the Big Ben itself feel small.

2 months agoThat is so me! I would also be changing the tube at o' dark thirty. Jacinto? Nah, it can wait until after morning coffee.
2 months agoRifle has that exact statue at it's library!
BTW, I also have a stinking' Chrysler minivan - it's perfect for hauling my long recumbent bike. It is getting on in years and the AC recently quit working - not good for someone who spends time in Tucson. We've had it in the shop, where the tech wasn't sure he fixed it, and said to drive it for a month and if the AC works, to come back and pay him. You don't get that sort of service in the big city! But, that shows his level of confidence in the repair. Jacinto has been driving the van, he said it blows a little cold, but not cold, cold. He says we should sell the van. But then what would I use to haul my bike!
It’s the red brick, deepened in the wet rain, that makes these buildings stand out impressively.
2 months agoI put a like heart on your photo not because I like what it tries to convey, but because you took it, and you cropped out t and v. Nicely done Greg.
2 months agoYou crack me up Greg.
2 months agoThat is a beautiful building. Would not have expected that in Iowa.

2 months agoI learned about shot towers only recently. What an idea - to drop molten lead from a height into cold water to form lead shot.
2 months agoWhoa. Had no idea you were allowed to do that trolley thing in the Midwest, except for St Louis [movie/play reference].
2 months agoFunny... On 3 Sep. 1979 I ran the "Second Annual Dubuque Half Marathon... I know this because I am now wearing the race t-shirt that they gave out to the first 50 finishers. I got 5th place and finished in 1:20:21 if my memory is correct. (and it is, I just flipped through my old collection of road race number bibs upon which I recorded my times for posterity, who likely will just toss them into the bin a few years hence after my passing.)
2 months agoGet any good writing tips from ol' Sam?
2 months agoFrom Old Highway 20, I looked down on what looked like a huge campground, with only a couple of campers. I had a feeling I should have entered the gates of the fairgrounds for a further look, but I didn't. I'm sorry.
For reasons that will be revealed later, it looks like I will have to wait until you get to Minneapolis for an actual meet-up.
I'd love to hear about some of your hijinks. I went to Catholic grade school and my friends and I once put a baseball in the tabernacle.
