I-O-W-A

“I Oughta Went Around”

“They grow potatoes there?”

“The only good thing coming out of that state is I-80”

“I was 28 before I realized I was free to leave.”

I grew up in Newton/Marshalltown and heard all the little Iowa digs. But I do so love my home state and the Iowa State Fair. Nothing better on Earth.

Around

is my "favorite" ..... heard it for years.

I only recently went back through Iowa on I-80 on my way to an event in Lincoln, Nebraska. Stopped in the old hometown - didn't recognize it. (I grew up in Altoona,IA) Gassed up and went on my way. Think I spent about 20 minutes there including pumping gas, getting a coffee refill and using the restroom facilities.

I don't miss it at all.

But now I gotta get the hell out of ILLINOIS!!
