Pella Picture - RAGBRAI 2013 Part X



Five days of blog posts and nine previous parts, and this is likely the one that will get the most comments [*shakes head*].  I don't really know why I am posting this picture, other than to satisfy you, my readers.  Here is a photo of me in Pella in front of a statue made out of bicycle parts to look like a windmill.  Yes, I am wearing a cycling outfit with an extra accessory for Thong Thursday.  I did wear the two strands of beads all week just to be silly and fun.



A few other random topics that I couldn't develop into a full, interesting post:
1) In Perry, on Monday, there was a hailstorm and thunderstorm that rolled through at around 8:15 that night.  The brunt of the hail missed us, thankfully.  There were reports of 1-inch diameter hail in towns not too far away.  We only got pea sized hail.  I ended up spending an hour and a half stuck at Casey's gas station, either in the store or under the gas awning when it was too hot in the store.  It was interesting though, and the Speed Demons were there with me as well.  Those kinds of things are the ones you remember forever.

2) There was a homeless cat that visited our camp and the outside of a number of tents overnight in Knoxville.  I had petted that cat while walking back from the downtown area that night.

3) There was a midget wrestling show in Dallas Center on Tuesday. [They called themselves "midgets", don't get on me about it, I'll refer to them however they want to be called]  Just like WWE, but they are paid a lot less.  I had never seen one in person before.  Entertaining in a lower-level-of-humanity sort of way.  I got there too early for the main event, though.  The two shows I saw were with full-sized entertainers.  They then had a 20 minute break scheduled and I didn't want to wait, so I biked on.
