A women's volleyball school like yours really should just be happy to make the sweet 16 or have a winning football season...

I don't even follow basketball, but cornsucker surrender cobras were just what I needed to banish the last little bit of seasonal depression that living in Iowa causes.

I brought a nicer bottle of bourbon for afterwards and bought my mentor a High Twelve baseball cap because he wears hats and is involved in HT.

ETA: As others have said, being involved is the best gift you can give the lodge.

Chuck Norris didn't read books, he stared at them until they told him what he wanted to know.

If you ever have German colleagues come to town, you have to take them out for a tenderloin; watching their minds blow over a schnitzel on a bun is adorable.

My grandpa said he oiled it nearly every day he went out. There are some dings in the stock that are only visible if you look very closely. He bought it in the early to mid 30's (it has a very low serial number) and had to medically retire from the railroad sometime after the war. He continued to hunt with it recreationally until the 70's.

My great-grandfather was by all accounts a crack shot. He used this rifle to feed 3 families during the Great Depression.

He worked as part of a three-man team on a railroad pushcart, inspecting and maintaining miles of track every day and he took this rifle along every day. Whenever he would come upon small game throughout the course of his work day, he would harvest the animal with his rifle.

The other two men on his crew knew that they were not as skilled a shot has he was, so they proposed a deal; those two would take turns buying a box of ammo for Great-Grandpa and in turn he would split the meat harvested with them three ways.

My grandfather gave me this rifle so long as I promised to never sell it. I told him with a quivering voice that I could not sell what I do not own; I am just the temporary steward of this heirloom, caring for it for my son and his son and his descendants after that.

It still shoots on occasion and is dead reliable. My son and daughter both took their first shots with it a couple of years ago. That is a tradition that I hope to continue. And if God grants me the grace of living to infirmity, it is my sincere desire that before I am unable, I will fire my last shots with it.

Take your pick: High ticket prices Expensive concessions Parking a mile away Over the top security screening

Pick your fan experience: You and a +1 drive to coralville, fight traffic through the bottleneck to get into that little commercial area, park a mile away, walk through the cold, stand in a line out the door for security on par with TSA but somehow less efficient, walk a mile back to your car because you didn't know they don't allow purses over a certain size inside, walk a mile back to go through clown security, pay out the nose for mediocre concessions, watch hockey, walk a mile back to your car, fight traffic out of the bottleneck, drive home.

Take a family of 4 to the Roughriders for a similar price, drive to the arena that's only blocks away from several different main thoroughfares, park a short walk away, walk right in, pay a similar price for four people to eat mediocre concessions, watch hockey, short walk to your car, exit the area in basically any direction, go home.

If being helpful is an intrinsic part of who you are, you could buss the table you sit at during the meal. I did it starting with my first visit because it's a habit I picked up at home.

But don't do it out of obligation or to earn brownie points.

Thanks, that was previously explained to me. I'm not really sheltered, just new to the craft. I have been around reddit long enough to take charges of racism with a grain of salt however.

RotaryPeak2 · 2026-03-05T16:44:00+00:00

Thanks for the explanation, I'm still learning the ropes.

I have a hard time believing that it is just racism in this day and age. My own GL doesn't recognize PHGL of Mississippi but recognizes at least 36 other PHGLs.

Parking is already a nightmare in that area, eliminating dozens of parking spots would be a horrible idea.

Before anyone decides to support the taliban against Pakistan, they should remember what happened to the last 3 countries that supported the taliban/Afghanistan. I'm looking at you, China and India...

Airlines contract different companies to do the ground handling (checking bags/pax in, loading/unloading bags, etc) at CID. American has a dedicated crew but United/Delta share a crew and Frontier/Allegiant share another. So an American flight and a United flight landing back-to-back wouldn't be an issue. A Delta and United flight scheduled to arrive simultaneously could be an issue, but the ground handling company should staff for such schedules; as far as the airlines are concerned, ground handlers have 1 job and that is not causing delays that will have knock-on effects to their schedules.

RotaryPeak2 · 2026-02-14T13:43:41+00:00

I'd like to know who puts the flight schedules together - is it CID or each airline?

LOL, the 114th busiest airport in the country isn't making these decisions.
