Iowa sucks. Don't go there.
Yesterday, I drove into a blizzard. The roads seemed okay though so I passed 90 and continued into Iowa. I turned around at the first opportunity and returned to Minnesota where the roads and weather were better. Just say no to Iowa.Staying in Minnesota also allowed me to remain in Twins Territory one more night where I watched the Twins defeat the Evil Empire in epic fashion. Yay for Ortiz! Who thought we'd be saying that?
I got myself to Sioux Falls where Sarah aided my trek in telling me what part of town has decent hotels. I'm happy to report that the Baymont was not only cheaper than the Ramada of Jaynesville, it also has pillowcases. It's also immensely cleaner and nicer. In the morning, I made waffles.
In Sioux Falls this morning, the news was all atwitter about the discontinuation of study hall. Apparently, students are not using it to study.
I'm off now to the great state of Nebraska. I'm sure it will be great fun.
