As we hid from the rain in my sister’s giant RV this morning, somebody switched on the TV and we watched George Bush arrive at the new ground zero in Minneapolis. It occurred to me that if I lived in the middle of a disaster area, I would shudder if George Bush showed up. Nothing says “incompetence” quite like the Bush administration.
In Iowa for the next 10 Days
In a few minutes, I’ll go jump on the Max which will take me to the Gateway Transit Center where I’m meeting Tina and the boys. From there, we’ll drive to SeaTac where we’ll hop a plane for Minneapolis. The plane gets to Mineapolis around 2 am. After we gather our bags, we’ll take a cab to a nearby hotel where we’ll sack out until about 10. My sister and her family will meet us at hour hotel at 11 and then we’ll continue our journey to my hometown, Riceville, IA.
Family Reunion Flashback 2001
Next weekend we’ll be headed to Iowa for our first Ring family reunion since 2004. Here’s a couple pictures from the 2001 family reunion. The top picture is all the grandkids and the bottom picture is of the entire group. Both pictures were taken on our last day at the hotel outside Minneapolis.
