You may ask yourself, “why would ANYONE want to visit Iowa?” and that would be a fair question. I mean, the place doesn’t get any love. When is the last time you heard anyone speak glowingly about the place.

My intention is to drive to Iowa in late May to visit my brother who likes SOMEWHERE there (note to self: figure out precisely WHERE to drive in Iowa) in the state.

Last year he told me about, “Drive your Tractor to School” day at this local high school. That compares quite favoribly with the “leave your semi-automatic pistol at home” day we have here in DC and northern virginia.

I don’t know quite what to expect. But, I am looking forward to the visit. Oh, I am THRILLED that there are five other people who want to do this too. Perhaps we could all meet for a cold beer.
