Dude behind me at lunch ordered “The usual.”
Got hit back with a “and that would be?”
Has to be absolutely devastating. Can’t even imagine.
Physically? I’m in a Holiday Inn ballroom attending a tax law seminar. Mentally? I’m on a construction site ripping cigs (as the Lord intended).
A large black coffee, an energy drink, and a gas station burrito is a helluva breakfast combo, brother.

Since 1964, Iowa Farm Bureau’s Cookout Contest has been a staple of the @IowaStateFair, connecting fairgoers with high-quality meat, raised by Iowa’s farm families and prepared by some of the state’s best backyard chefs.
Today, at the 62nd annual contest, we welcomed the winner of the inaugural Farm Bureau Cookout Contest: 96-year-old Bob Friesen of West Des Moines.
Bob is pictured here with @IAGovernor, Iowa Farm Bureau President Brent Johnson and well-known local broadcasters Eric Hanson and @EdWilsonWX13HD.
Bob captured the first Cookout Contest title in 1964 with baby back ribs. His advice for aspiring cookout champions?
“Just keep cooking.”
Sixty-two years later, we’re proud to continue showcasing Iowa-raised meat and the talented backyard chefs who bring out its best flavors!

Negotiating playing at the park with my toddler has taught me more about precise terms and anticipating loopholes than any law school class. An exercise in contracting length of play, water breaks, and a transition to nap should be a graduation requirement for all law students.
Ray Charles’s version of America the Beautiful should be the only version of America the Beautiful. It cannot be topped.

My wife should write a book on keeping the magic alive in your 30s 😮💨
And now as a consolation prize I get to watch the Twins inevitably go 45-117 over the next six months
Taking personal offense at, “he’s like a mini Jimmer Fredette, for you old timers.” @brentblum
Yes sir @MontgomerDavid 🫡
David Montgomery’s biggest fear was going back to Cincinnati to be like everyone else. He was never the biggest, the fastest, but he’s alright with that. Montgomery knows who he is, I’m fearless. I ain’t scared of nothing”.
He copied then Iowa State Football’s head coach Matt Campbell’s pass code to the indoor facility. He needed the extra work, because going home wasn’t an option. He worked to be an example… for himself, for his son, & for his community!

“Six dollars a box, or I’ve got a deal… Five for thirty bucks.”
Not sure if she was bad at math or a little entrepreneur trying to pull a fast one, but either way, I respect the hustle and am now five boxes of cookies richer.
I need one of those shitty fisheye lens cameras that they use to livestream baby zoo animals mounted on a foul pole at the Twins facility in Ft. Meyers so I can wistfully watch pitchers and catchers report today
