Taco ‘Bout It: Boone Food Truck Field Work
Today is St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t celebrate, so no greetings to those of you that do. Stupid greeting card holiday that has become overcommercialized to make people feel bad that aren’t Irish. Bah O’humbug to you I say. You might be wondering why this post published at 8 AM… Read More »Taco ‘Bout It: Boone Food Truck Field Work

RAGBRAI – Slater – I
The second day I followed RAGBRAI, I hit up two towns. Slater and then Madrid. I mentioned I wasn’t that impressed with the setup in Ames. It really just felt like every other town festival in Ames.
