Oh yes, Senator Grassley heard from. Back in the late 60's recall being a U of Iowa student and he was a state legislator making a big fuss about depictions of naked women at the Art Department's gallery.

The Flatirons! The view out my window when I lived in Boulder back in the seventies. Then the 80's and 90's in Minneapolis and Winona until landing in Springfield, Illinois a couple of years ago.

Been many years since I’ve seen one of those! Always entertaining.

It's my little brother. We were waiting by a fence where someone picked him up to reach for the handshake. Associated Press wire service was the tech for spreading the photo to various newspapers.

A selfie, sort of, along the Mississippi at Winona in the early fall many years ago. One hand steering the bike.

A noteworthy accomplishment for a mediocre watercolor painter. Not that I aspire to similar.

The problem of where to park in Uptown after windsurfing nearby was why I didn't follow through on this trailer design.

Note the living room wall picture that I'm using for my homepage banner. It was there throughout my childhood.

Would the City Heat Motorcycle Club or Blue Knights ever endorse such a noise law enforcement scheme?

Winona's mayor, Scott Sherman, would be such, but I can't tell from looking in the BYCS web site. His predecessor held at least one 'mayors ride' on a spring evening around town.
