Wild AHL Affiliate to Des Moines?
I was up in St. Paul for the Wild season opener on Saturday night. There's a lot of discussion that the Houston Aeros will relocate to Des Moines at the end of the season. This has been talked about for a few months here, but this is the first time I've heard anything that has real legs. Good...- Broodwich

Does radiation scare you?
I found it funny that there's a big push to stop the building of a nuclear power plant at the state capitol this week at the same time that we are being bombarded by x-rays and gamma radiation from the solar flare. What worries you more about radiation: a nuclear reactor or flying? -

Minecraft
Anyone one else on here playing this in a multi-user environment? I dabbled with it a long-time ago and wasn't all that enthralled with te 8-bit graphics and weird gameplay. After some additional consideration, I sprung on the license (around $20) and have been playing this for a couple of... -
Smoked Oysters
Smoked oysters are a holiday tradition in my family. I haven't bought any in years because I refuse to buy any from China. Found some finally this year that were produced elsewhere. My wife thinks they're nasty. But my brother, parents and I love 'em. Anyone topping townhouse crackers... -

Best Burger in Ames
Where is this to be found? I am convinced that the Cowboy Burger at Whiskey River is the best. However I have been told the best is to be found in Gilbert. The Open Flame apparently grinds their own steak trimmings from steaks occasionally for "burger night."- Broodwich

Tip of the Hat: Acacia Fraternity Toy Drive
Wanted to give a shout out to the Acacia fraternity guys at the north Wal-Mart in Ames today. They have a toy drive going and did a great job talking me in to picking up some toys to the throw in to their big pile of loot. Thanks for making this Christmas better for a lot of kids in the Ames area. -
Rueben vs. Patty Melt
I'm considering one of these for lunch tomorrow. From what I've seen these two sandwiches are very similar. Both seem to leverage a marbled grilled rye bread against a beefy center. I am leaning towards to the Reuben due to the inclusion of Russian dressing, but the carmelized onions do make... -

MRDC Wide River Wheat Whiskey
Picked up a bottle of this seasonal whiskey from Mississippi River Distilling in LeClaire. Iowa grown wheat, aged in uncharred wine casks. Light in color, smooth. Sampled in a glencairn glass with a single ice cube. Very mellow with strong vanilla notes. This appears to be a young whiskey...
