If Iowa hosted the olympicsPosted Thursday, February 25, 2010, at 5:16 PM
Although the entire country has seen some snow - some of us more than others obviously - somehow Canada missed out and had to bring in snow for the olympics. Sheesh. Well if they need to borrow any of ours it's theirs for the taking.
Winter games in Iowa - 1.) Walking on the ice without falling down. 2.) Driving down a road without being involved in a 10 car pile up. 3.) Hoisting a heavy shovel of snow above your head and throwing it on top of a seven foot pile of snow while actually getting more snow on top rather than having an avalanche. 4.) Getting to and from your destination without getting stuck in a snow drift at least once in the middle of a City street. 5.) Managing to safely pull out from an intersection with 10 feet piles of snow on each side without getting hit by oncoming traffic 6.) Not breaking your foot when attempting to rid your wheel wells of those massive ice stalactites. 7.) Managing to not run a red light because you're able to stop despite pure ice underneath your wheels. 8.) Managing to not get stuck in the middle of an intersection because it's pure ice and your wheels are spinning. 9.) Successfully coaching your car up a hill that is icier than an ice skating rink. |

I grew up in Northcentral Iowa. I attended Iowa State University where I received a B.A. Degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and had an emphasis on Child and Family Studies. I moved to Storm Lake in 2008 to work for the Pilot-Tribune, after working for a daily paper in Nebraska. When I'm not busy typing like a mad woman, peering from behind a camera lens or interviewing all sorts of new and exciting people, you can probably find me rollerblading/biking the paved paths of Storm Lake, strumming out a few notes on my guitar, walking numerous dogs all at once in Newell. I am also a member of Faith Bible, a member of the Shayla Bee family, the SL Kiwanis and a longtime member of the Twizzlers Annonymous Support group. Wink Wink.
