The Des Moines Register's Annual Bicycle Ride across Iowa.
22,000 people staying overnight in a town of 2100 people last night.
They expect them to drain the water tower dry, clean to town out of, ice, beer, many other things.
What a mess.
Rant over.

All the churches cancelled services today.
You can't get into, or out of town.

You have to pay hundreds of dollars to set up a table.
Son Jake stood over a hot grill in 110 degree heat grilling steaks, they lost money.

You are just plain lucky Wabi, you could have the drug and money fueled Burning Man in Ioway...then, you would have something to complain about. Promoters have done everything to hide the stats, but inside the fence there is a few deaths every year...suicides, OD's, sexual assaults...all the traffic accidents outside the fence don't count. Promoters haul in around 45 million a year, not bad for a scheme where the children of the idle rich from all over the world can go get filthy dusty, put all manner of chemicals in their system, and be ''seen", in the name of art.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
