Hi Iowa,
looking forward to our upcoming events...remembering
the Patriots of years gone by.

237 years ago today.
By the end of the day 40'000 men were encircling Boston.

Today?
I sit for a moment next to a pile of gear preparing to drive across the state and take some small part in keeping their legacy alive.

And on top of that pile of tent, cloths, chow, and all sorts of junk lies the clearest symbol of a free man.

A rifle.


Oh, and before I forget...
Happy birthday Mr. Wyman.
Fearful but resolute.

So long as the boss doesn't forbay it I fully intend to be at Dubuque next weekend as well.
And I may even have a PC for you.

You guys are silly.

Thanks for stepping up Miller.
We'll miss you at Winterset April 28-29.
Guess that Cooper will just have to keep you in line.
