Ames sucks? Why, because it has railroad tracks? SMH!!
Riding the rails is dangerous especially during winter. Let’s hope this fellow makes a full recovery. Gone are the days of hobos, tramps, and bums in Iowa. Grandma use to say that they showed up at the back door asking for food. Grandpa would put them to work on the farm. They slept on the front porch at night and ate at dinner table with the family. An nary a child was harmed. The world has turned into a hell hole with no piety. And if you think the wealthy 1% are following the good book you would be mistaken.
The wealthy 1% are no better or no worse than the other 99%
More like 99% are duped and 1% enlightened. The wealthy 1% are of the 99% just have more privilege.
Wide is the way that leads to destruction. There will be many who follow it. Timeless wisdom on Fat Tuesday.
You better lay off the weed.
