Auntie Paula Sends A Warning

Snow stopped early this morning in KC, but Aunt Paula of Iowa City has some news. The stretch of I-80 between Des Moines and Iowa City is so snowed/iced over that tow trucks are no longer going out. I guess it's just a mess. Now, that stretch of highway, normally about a 2 hour drive, is key to my trip.

What to do? I'm gonna get in the minivan. Turn on the heated seat, and head up to Des Moines--about 3 hours drive under normal conditions. Perhaps I'll spend the night there? Perhaps the roads will be better by then? After all, the campaigns are headquartered in Des Moines. Of course, I'm pretty sure all motels are booked solid. So, I guess I'm taking a chance. Cool. About time I got this party started.
