Its RAGBRAI time again in Iowa. It always occurs the third week of July. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the event and it seems like it gets better every year. If you don't know what RAGBRAI is all about, CLICK HERE.
Billy particularly likes the ride. He enjoys meeting people along the way. Pulling him along in the iron lung is no simple task. First of all he becomes a very heavy load on the uphill portions of the ride. Anyone who does RAGBRAI will attest that Iowa is not flat. The other logistics nightmare is keeping Billy cool. With temps of over 100F this would be a challenge. We are talking power packs, misters, and lots of batteries. Consequently, we had to scratch Billy from the ride after we saw the forecast from a Conrad Johnson talkalike. Probably was a good thing, because if we were doing the ride, we might not have bumped into the Tito's Girls.
The Tito's Girls transcended upon Parlor City Pub with cases of Tito's Handmade Vodka and they were passing it out like so much candy to babies. This contingent of babes came out from Chicago to promote their spirits and promote they did. Billy immediately fell in love with Barbara, the Las Vegas Realtor by day and Bartender when called upon. (Billy wanted to be Facebook friends, but since Barbara has over 5000 friends already he has subscribed to her public status updates instead.) After going through many bottles of the Handmade Loudmouth Soup, we were invited into the vintage Airstream trailer they use for their promotions. Eric, Tasha and Rosie were formidable hosts as they continued the hospitality. Billy picked up a visor which he now wears constantly.
