re: #56 stpaulbear

I drove down to Des Moines IA today to get my old Dual turntable rehabbed (yes it was worth it) and saw some really impressive wind farms on the way down in Iowa.

I also liked how there are no billboards along interstate 35 in Iowa. I also liked that people didn’t drive like dicks in Iowa. As soon as I crossed back into MN it was billboard city and dick drivers galore. I guess I’m dick driving proficient because I live here (and I’m also in another subset of dick drivers known as ‘Pontiac Vibe Owners’), but it was really noticeable that the dick driving quotient went thru the roof as soon as I crossed the border. We drive like dicks here.

I did manage to get to and from Des Moises without spending a dime in Steve King’s district.

MN drivers can be separated into two categories: City drivers and rural drivers. City drivers are aggressive, fast, will cut you off and then give you the finger because it’s somehow YOUR fault. Rural drivers are the ones doing 45 in a 60 in the left-hand lane, and when you try to swing to the right to pass them, suddenly decide that, oh, the right lane is more their speed, instead.
