Dave Koch, a spokesman for the Cedar Rapids fire department, said the river will crest Friday at about 31.8 feet. It was at 30.9 feet early in the morning. In a 1993 flood, considered the worst flood in recent history, it was at 19.27 feet.
So yesterday I was on the way up to South Dakota to see my mom for her birthday and my dad for father's day. I left at 6 am so I could be there by 10, and then I could get away with leaving and heading back around 7 pm. On the way up, around 6:30, nobody else is on the road but me...and a massive military convoy going the other way. It stretched for miles and miles, and in my hazy boredom I started counting vehicles. I stopped at 106, and I was nowhere near the end of the convoy.
I was thinking, "What the hell?" My wife pointed out that it could be assistance headed for Iowa. Huh.

I guess it's a good rehearsal for the eventual zombie apocolypse.

He declared Louisiana a state of emergency and told people to get out of the Hurricanes path two days before Katrina hit. But he still hates darkies?

The sex in public on Bourbon Street in Na’lens absolutely shocked me in 2003 when I was in the city of sin for a marketing conference. And I often wondered, “Ya know, those little logs backed by metal (levees) aren’t going to hold a strong thunderstorm too well.”
I’ve been blaming the atrocity that occurred to New Orleans by a storm called Katrina on the area’s sin. That city was one of the most corrupt cities I’ve ever toured, even more corrupt than the abomination of a little sodomite parade today in Cleveland.
So I began wondering about Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It’s innocent Iowa. What could possibly be wrong with an area in “God’s country”.
I was going to release this on Monday of last week, but I felt my arrest was bigger news. Anyway, I learned that Cedar Rapids was an absolute city of corruption. There are about 124,000 residents in the actual city. And in Iowa, gambling is legal, whereby there are 17 casinos. Embryonic stem-cell research is funded. Liberal governors have run the state into the ground for the past 20 years including a former conservative Republican many years ago. Human cloning is legal. Referendums by the citizens are often shot down. Spending for education is the most consistent increase of any issue. The University of Iowa is among the ten best colleges to party in the country. The University of Iowa is very homosexual-oriented. Grinnell is extremely homosexual-oriented. I found five blood alleys in Cedar Rapids. Homosexual organizations are very popular in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. Prostitution and adult entertainment is actually worse than Cleveland, which has a population of nearly 400,000. There were nearly 100 bars in a radius of one mile although the nearby college is dry.
Specifically what I learned about Cedar Rapids by making some phone calls on Friday, June 13:
“Thank you for calling Planned Parenthood … our offices are closed due to inclement weather.” – voice mail message Planned Parenthood of East Central Iowa (319) 363-8572 3425 1st Avenue SE Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-6005
“There is an abortion clinic in each of the quad cities.” – a representative Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa Iowa City Planned Parenthood
“We will be closed June 12th in the afternoon and all day the 13th due to inclement weather.” St. Luke’s Family Planning Center (319) 369-7397 4251 Rivercenter Court NE (off of Edgewood Road)

DES MOINES PARADE Sunday, June 14th noon? To All Parade Participants,
Due to flooding along the Des Moines River, the City of Des Moines will not allow us to close Grand and Locust this weekend for the parade. We have decided that we will have a march on the sidewalks along a similar route. The march will start at Lot 6 in the Capitol Complex and proceed along the west drive, down Grand Ave to Pennsylvania Ave, then over to Locust where it will end at East 5th. The Community Show will be in the same location as the Saturday night street party (between Grand and Locust on East 5th).
We are encouraging anyone who prepared floats or cars for the parade to park those along Locust so that they can be displayed. There is ample parking in Visitor Parking in Lot 15 (just east of the Capitol).
If you need any other information, please let me know.
Thank you, Greg Tew Parade Director Capital City Pride gregtew@gmail.com

but i wonder why pride parades still exist. and the same could be said for a lot of parades obviously. not offended by them of course, just a little confused as to the purpose. ok there are people that aren't hetero, who gives a fuck? do they raise money for something? perhaps there's a good reason that i'm just too lazy or indifferent to ponder.

Well being as gay people still don't have their civil rights in most areas of the country, they're pretty important still. But even if that wasn't the case, parades are fun. Like you said, there's really no reason to have a parade about anything. They're just fun for the group involved.
