    Cyclone Club Question(s)

    I’m sure the Cyclone Club folks have it at their fingertips. I don’t think I’ve ever seen our points on a website. For some reason it’s secret, even for that person.

    Maybe they figure red is overused and underappreciated, and pink would catch the eye.

    Bird Migration

    We had our first grosbeak, too. Rose-breasted. Hummer came back and also, first time seeing one for me - red fox ran across backyards that adjoin ours. I know that’s not a bird but it was exciting. Wish they’d come around more often and take out these rabbits. Ugh.

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    Wordle in 2! Started with a word I just heard on NBC’s The Wall program, which I think is totally rigged and haven’t watched even one entire episode. Ran out of things to do this Saturday night, I guess.

    Nice Restaurants in Des Moines .

    Side step here: Axios Des Moines is a good quick daily read with occasional tidbits about businesses and government in the capital city.

    Campustown Redevelopment

    Also Bar LaTosca, although that’s a more subdued crowd than the regular campustown. Used to be Stomping Grounds, same owner.

    Better than a tattoo that doesn’t go away even after it stops hurting. Tailgate tents are always good.

    Kentucky Derby party apparel?

    Cyclone Liquors is hosting one - it’s a fundraiser for the leukemia and lymphoma society, I believe. Organized by one of the Cellar 626 bartenders who also used to work at WTP. She was going to have a fundraiser there, too, scheduled 5 days after it abruptly closed. But that’s another matter.

    Every time we have a downpour in Ames, I say I sure hope no one's driving there. Don't make me come down there.

    One of those little things you have no idea will sprout wings and take off, in a good way. Sorry, not sorry for the pun.

    I would have done the salad thing last night, too, except that we had nothing salad-like in the house. So, a semi-rolled burrito/taco it was. Still good.

    2024 Iowa's Best Burger announced

    I don't know why there's no rule about length of being open. Maybe they want to encourage support of local businesses.

    Randy P's final column (SIAP)

    Good reading, especially some between the lines.

    Bird Migration

    We have the regular early season starling and blackbird invasion. Ugh.
