Did you know

donkey basketball may be my new favorite sport? Actually, I think more sports should be played with donkeys...it makes it much easier to see who the real asses are..
Did you know that those who wear head to toe carhartt are actually fashion experts? (At least one thinks that anyway....he said that red jeans are hideous and tall boots are whorish....I just said you're a fucking idiot...)
Did you know that the Karras Loop for RAGBRAI was supposed to go through Audubon County? It was originally set to utilize the T-Bone Trail. It was going to go down the trail from Hamlin to Exira, through Exira east out of town to Ozzy's Corner/The Ridge Road (Pheasant Ave/N36 for those not from these parts) then back north to 44. When the official map came out, the loop has been moved the Shelby County...I will find out the cause behind this. While I was once on the planning committee for an overnight RAGBRAI stay and will never again support an OVERNIGHT stay, pass throughs are wonderful. There are far fewer rules and regulations passed down from the DM Register and your ability to actually make some money improves tremendously when you don't have to pay fees and licenses and worry about housing and showering 10,000 people.
We could have had the opportunity to show thousands of serious bike riders our bike trail. The economic impact that could have been afforded to the businesses along the trail and in the town of Exira was tremendous. Many also thought riders may have decided to take the trail north to visit Audubon. Now, that extra money effort and bike riding time will be spent in Shelby County...BRAVO to those who squashed this....(notice my need for a sarcasm font here) I would not be surprised if a group took a page from Marne's playbook and formed a grassroots effort to show off our trail and the people and businesses along and near it.
Did you know that if you post an item on the FB sell, swap and trades sites, complete with details on the size, price and where you are located, you will get no less than six replies asking for the size, price and location...
Did you know that school is starting on Aug. 14? I remember when school started on Sept. 7....I also remember 99 cent gas and buying a pop and a candy bar for a buck....as I already mentioned I am old.
Did you know that Tim Tebow is getting offers from arena league teams? I have a side ache from the laughter caused by this random tidbit of knowledge...he was NEVER a quarterback!!! He was a glorified fullback...I guess God really wasn't on his team...
