I cruised rural Iowa with long hair and a Toyota truck with CA plates, back in the day, taking back roads on the 220 mile drive to Sheldon from DSM. Talk about trolling…
Stopped in Manley IA one day for gas. The old boys in the store quit talking and stared at me as I walked in.
What town is this? I asked.
“You’re in Manley.”
“What state?” I asked?
And them old boys about fell over laughing. “He doesn’t even know what STATE he’s in!”
Then I asked about that years crop and if they were single pass or double incorporating herbicides. That really seemed to make them scratch their collective head.
