Can yet, believe this past spring? I have never seen such fouled up weather.... not just here in Iowa, but over, most of the states....hmmm, wonder if someone is trying to tell us something.  Speaking of being fouled up, did you know, that in San Francisco you are not permitted to carry a basket suspended from a pole? In Alabama, it is illegal to buy a sack if peanut, after sunset The law requires that everyone in Barre, Vermont must take, bath on Saturday night. It's against the law to wear roller skates in a public restroom in Portland, Oregon. Last, but, it least, Washington, D C taxis must be equipped with a broom and shovel (at least that one makes sense) Have fun with this the latest edition of the bulletin.
