You don't understand. A Sunday paper was a thing to behold. The size of a couch cushion, delivered by a man in a rusty van and his three children, each carrying a corner. The kitchen table would groan under the weight of the ad circulars alone. The pages would unfurl like sails.

This map is very inaccurate in Iowa. Only a narrow sliver along the Mississippi valley is part of the Driftless Paleozoic Plateau

My grandma used to drink this tea when I was a little boy, so I associated it with ancient times, like horse-drawn carriages. Tried it recently. Pretty good. Kind of a proto-chai, or spiced Earl Grey. Or maybe I'm just approaching the age Babcia was when I knew her.

Iowa doesn't even have a pro sports team. Our collective identity is as farmers, but almost none of us farm. It's hard to have a shared identity when the boundaries of your state were made before US settlement began. An empty box filled in by random people. Go Hawkeyes!

Can someone please explain to me how the economy works? I've been pushing all the buttons and pulling all the levers but no monkey chow comes out

Ok, calm down, buckaroo. First, your joke was barely a joke- it meets the dictionary definition, nothing else. Second he replied with a joke just as bad as yours - note how he misspelled peace. Maybe go for a walk- it's a beautiful evening- don't spend it online

Just finished a shift at a high school football concession stand, where I served every age, race, gender, and economic class. We humans are united in our love of blue freeze pops and our inability to make change.

Appears smoking is one of the underlying health conditions that will allow you to get a covid vax under new CDC guidelines. I don't smoke, but I guess I'll start. Any cigarette brand recommendations?
