<div>There seemed to be a lot of hog puns thrown out yesterday at the ‘Roast and
Ride’ event. Oh well, I guess that’s quite appealing to some of the <font face="Times New Roman"><font face="Arial">caucus-goers</font> </font>.</div>

<div>I was in Iowa recently, and saw the new Google facility near Altoona.
Iowa is booming now in a different way than it was in the 50’s and 60’s before
the interstates came in and small farms and small towns started to go
downhill. Remember the days when a 6 pack of Kool Aid cost 25 cents
and a one-pound box of Ritz crackers cost 35 cents? About June of
1955. Main Street in my small home town was hopping every weekend,
day and night, back in those days! Kids were running and biking
around on sugar highs from mass amounts of Kool Aid and Oreo cookies!</div>
