Woody why ya so bored??? Isn't there anything that you could be doing???
  You said in another post that there's not much to do in Iowa. What do you mean by that??? Is it just flat land and farms there??? I've never been there so ya gotta explain what happens around your town.

If crimson equals red and gray, I passed 8)

Now if I could just find some useful knowledge somewhere in this brain . . .  :

Those are some pretty tough questions, Tom. :   I was afraid to grade myself for fear of flunkage.
I will speculate, however, that a camel would make his hair brush from cactus spines. ;D

Well I know that purple finches are red
and I think cat guts come from horses
and I think the revolution is celebrated in November
and camel hair might come from badgers
and I'll bet the black box is blaze orange

but I don't know the others so I guess I'll have to look.

Darn you Mark.  You figured out all the easy ones and now I have to work on the tough questions. ;D

Well around this small town...about 7000...its amish, farmland, lots of pigs, and lots of criminals and the nasty ol' drug Meth.

We have some larger cities around us but I am not one that is into the mall scene or movies etc. Don't like the bigger cities..I tend to run away to the amish and chit chat with them or take a trip to a local county park.

After spending three weeks in Alaska and having the chance to see how beautifal the glaciers are, and the whales, and spending four days hiking on the Chilkoot Trail (Old Gold Rush Trail), Iowa tends to be really dull  :D

For a young guy like myself, Iowa doesn't have much to do to accomadate my age group. About the only thing they do have for that are the clubs etc. which by no means do I want to be a part of.

Well dat's all fine and dandy Woody but how many of dem questions did you get right?
