signs o' turnover...

End of July is...move out of apartments time, new leases start up Aug. 1
Look for: dumpsters overflowing, lots of crap and then sadly some things in pretty good shape
and not really used, as we continue toward our disposable society.
Of note, checked out someone else's pretty crappy dresser (you know the particle board kind) and in the top drawer, a bag full o wine bottles (!) they hadn't time or inclination to dispose of?  Or redeem for the deposits.
Ay... college towns...

bunnies

Returned to heat wave in Iowa... missed bunny-hopping competition but are still in time
for other rabbit shows at county fair!  We also talked to some volunteers/organizers of Beep Baseball
the
2012 NBBA Beep Baseball World Series - Ames Iowa takes place this week- it's an adaptive version of baseball for blind and visually impaired people!
