history and reference who owns this red roundie in Ames Iowa?

[ray_]

Inquiring minds want to know!

Lebowski moved to Des Moines, but I do not recall what color his car was.  

 

It could belong to a Cyclone fan, seeing as how their colors are Grenada and Gold.

(my parents went to school there)

 

The real question is, what are you doing in Iowa, Ray_?

 

When I mention that I grew up in Iowa, the usual response is, "I drove through Iowa once."

That, or, "whereabouts in Ohio?"  or, "Don't they grow Potatoes there?" (seriously)

 

I just started telling people I come from "Ohiowa", then I looked it up and sure enough, there is such a place... although it's a city, not a state : )

My B-I-L is in Ames and took the pic.

 

I have been there.

 

And I never want to drive on summer tires in the snow again. Getting stuck in the middle of a flat street is embarrassing.

There are a lot of people who know nothing about the states of Iowa and Ohio. Many confuse the states or conclude that they are purely agricultural, fly-over states...

I have been to Ames Iowa at least two times:

 

never saw a BMW

too much snow piled up on the snow fences

stayed at the same crappy Comfort Inn

rented crappy Chevy spec vehicles

saw deer grazing on the grass downtown

people were nice

didn't want to encroach on the "home of the Cyclones" areas

 

no wonder my wife will never travel with me on business trips.

 

BTW I have been to many small towns in Ohio.  Did you know Washington Court House has huge warehouses for Victoria's Secret and Lowe's?

This makes me weep for humanity. I was in Los Angeles and told a woman I was from Minneapolis. She asked where that was.  Really?

Blunt,

 

not to worry ..... none of us here in L.A. actually believe the rumor that there is life east of the Kali border.
