Is it FALL?

Can't be! It was JUST the 4th of July! The Coralville Parade was great, and we had fireworks! NOW Labor Day is gone too!! Man......Sure seems like the days, weeks, months, and yes, years go by quickly....Faster pace, faster traffic, MORE information, NOW, NOW, NOW,, get used to it or get out of the way I guess.
Have you ever seen a construction/war zone like 1st avenue in Coralvillle? Now THAT is a construction zone.. IF you take your eyes off the road or make a tiny move in the steering wheel, you are over the edge! BE careful.. Cement trucks going into and out of the Hawkeye Cement plant, the normal/regular 1st ave traffic, ...I met an incoming ambulance the other day. I was north bound and 'he' was southbound..He was running 'hot' so I drove into the parking lot (what's left of it) of the brickyard.. Say, did you know the brickyard is moving to Iowa City? Yep, the City of Coralville bought the brickyard...Hmm, great place for a hotel, fast food, ..etc, but I think the land will be part of the big master plan to build a river edge park, community area etc. Should be neat!
I was out of town for the longest period in my life since 1974. I spent 2 weeks at the Boy Scout Jamboree in Virginia in late July and early August. 40,000 Scouts!! I worked on Staff and had a great time. 2 weeks of sleeping in an Army tent, on an Army cot, and in heat of the da anywhere from 102, 105 and up to 108 degrees..and to think I VOLUNTEERED and PAID to get this opportunity!!!.....................brain lapse..I had FUN!!

More soon!
