    Dam 2 Dam - Canceling after 2018

    SIAP Looks like dam to dam will end after the next one. Citing lack of volunteers as the reason. This makes me sad, this race has kicked off my running season for the last 6 years. http://www.weareiowa.com/news/local-news/dam-to-dam-ending-after-2018/813678969

    Nicknames

    Thought on TV shows cancelling

    Does anyone know if there is a place where show creators post where they had planned on taking a show if it gets cancelled mid stride? I was a fan of Revolution. The last episode set up a cliff hanger to the next season which is now not going to happen. I'd like to read at least a paragraph...

    Exterior House Painting

    My house siding is in need of some love. I don't have the funds to completely replace, so I was thinking about painting. I have both aluminum and vinyl siding depending on which side of the house you are on. I did some research and it seems pretty straight forward, power wash, latex primer...
