Iowa Weekend

This weekend I went to Iowa with my friends Jeremy irish-girl and
Jack It was a wonderfully restful weekend for me, except for the drive down and staying up a bit late playing video games. The drive down was particularly stressful as what is generally a 3.5 hour drive was more like 6, the first half of the drive was fine, but the second half started with driving up the highway and suddenly having a patrolmen in the road waving us to the right lane followed by a police car in the right lane causing us to shift back to the left lane and suddenly hitting glare ice, probably like an inch thick, and the rest of the drive was a blur of blowing snow, patches of sheer ice and slow driving topped with a 1.5 hour sit on the shoulder of the freeway while a semi that had spun out and blocked Interstate 90 was being cleared off the road. It was an adventure.. comming home today, we stopped for dinner in Fairmont MN and ate at a place called the Ranch, typical Family style dining, anyway, when we went it, the first thing the waitress said to us was that the All you can eat Chicken Dinner is no longer available as they are out of chicken.. must have had run.

Music Listened to: Depeche Mode, The Faint, Front 242, Fischer spooner, The cure
Food Eaten: All you can eat Salad Buffet
Moral of the Day: When you are out of chicken, serve Salad.
