I'm new to the site but looked around a bit and it seems like a fun place to post. I look forward to meeting new people and having a laugh or two.

Oh, the other side of the Pond. Nice :)

By coincidence, before the internet I was part of an Amateur Press Association which was based in Iowa. Never been there though. Always had the impression the place was dead flat from end to end ;) Probably not true...

HIYA Neighbor!

Most of my experinece in Iowa was back and forth on I-80. I worked for CRST but not directly with Cedar Rapids.

Got that off my chest,

What happened to Kamala Harris' campaign?
She had the black vote all locked up.

Hello Lizzie, I have been to Iowa, while chatting to a New Yorker and telling him we were going to Iowa next he looked back at us and with a surprised look on his face asked us "Why" ?

And he wasn't the only person to comment like that.

My daughter lives there, don't think I would have bothered otherwise.

Anyway welcome.

I was about to say we have another Iowan somewhere here but then I remembered she's in Utah. I expect one's got soil and the other hasn't.
