Bird Migration
My hummingbird feeder gets hung in our little pocket garden just outside the kitchen window right by the deck. So it is about 8' from the house and 5' from the deck. They don't seem bothered at all. Sometimes when we are eating supper out on the deck they will still fly up and eat with us... -
Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire
Speaking of murders I was walking through the cemetery where a bunch of my family is buried in NE Iowa a few years ago. My aunt walked me a bit away from my great grandparents' graves and showed me a grave that had a double headstone for a husband and wife. Apparently the husband killed his... -

Retired neighbors have two daughters, one of which was just starting to drive when we moved in almost 20 years ago. She bought a house a few blocks away in our neighborhood. A few years ago she started noticing mental illness in her husband. He would fly off the handle for no reason or have... -

Yeah, I get it. But now they are paying him for what he should have been doing before just to contribute to household expenses since he doesn't have a job and is living at home. That was my only point. -
Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire
I have dealt with people with alcoholism, including in my own family. At some point you have to quit enabling. People who don't hit bottom very, very rarely get help. I would say never but I'm sure there are a few outliers out there. Just from the narrative of the post they have tried many... -

I don't care about the women's drop, but I find it funny as hell that the men's games had nearly 10,000 empty seats per game.- VeloClone

Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire
As someone who knows nothing at all about the situation, maybe you should back off from the guy who has lived next to the situation for years. -
Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire
Maybe I misunderstood but I thought the 40 year old already lives with them jobless, not able to contribute to the living arrangements. Now they are going to pay him to do what he should have been doing before to earn his keep. -
Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire
Wow, that is amazing that it lasted clear from the aughts! ;) I remember the unit in the basement of the Paramount Theatre in Cedar Rapids. It was installed (USED no less!) when the Paramount was built in the late 1920's. At the time it was the first air conditioned movie theater west of the... -
Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire
Yeah, if we manage to text each other on our birthdays we are doing pretty well in my family. Expecting presents from anyone at 38 is lame. I don't even expect them from my wife and kids, so I am pleasantly surprised when I get something. A present should NEVER be an expectation. -
Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25
I went to a school district that had about 200 in the high school grades then moved to one of about 350. Contrast that to my daughter who went to a high school with an enrollment of about 3,000. -

BIL built a house in the development that is just down the hill across the road from the Marina and they are definitely in North Polk. I don't know about any farther down the road. I do have a buddy that is quite a ways down the road but clearly closer to Ankeny and they are Ankeny SD.
