@KaraVanderWerff@groenbar I didn't realize there was an official ban on foreign languages, but I do know there was a lot of hatred and violence towards the Dutch in the Peoria/New Sharon area around WWI.
@groenbar@jpbbennett We watched the tornado for a long time until we thought it would perhaps turn toward us--then we went to the basement. First tornado I've ever seen (and heard). So sorry for all the damage to Vermeer but grateful everyone is okay.
@SteveKingIA I remember fondly our discussions on a job site during the summer rains of '93 in Carroll, IA. Have also enjoyed watching your political career. Thanks for sharing the Larry Elder article on slavery. It confirmed what I learned on Zanzibar Island. Dave Klein
