Greetings from Iowa

[pinochet]

So I've taken a summer job in rural Iowa doing science and stuff, and as far as I can tell the state is essentially devoid of both internet and cell phone coverage. Also there are more ticks than people per square mile, even in town. Not really a proper sort of state at all, I'd give it 2/5 stars tops.

Anyway, I'm not likely to be in game for a while, so please continue valiently on without me. I will be back as soon as I can figure out how to get internet access that can load the google homepage in fewer than 120 seconds.

Cheers.

I bet it's all so you have no distraction whatsoever and do more Science! I hope you have an awesome time anyway.

If there wasn't so much corn/produce you could probably see straight across Iowa from one end to the other, jk. I've met someone in game who was playing in Iowa, so there is appropriate Internet somewhere. Hope you have fun anyways!

Redneck tip #1. Don't milk the bull. Its funny untill someone gets kicked.

It's still funny even after someone gets kicked, as long as it's not you.

It's real funny when they drink the milk.

Ringgold county. Two of our field sites are literally on the missouri border. So about as far south as you can go.

Funny you should say so, apparently two years ago one of our field techs was hospitalized by a bull. The project lead was non-specific as to what he was doing to get himself kicked, so I am forced to assume he was doing something grotesquely unnatural to it. But yeah, our research is conducted on rangelands, and they sure don't remove the cattle just for us.

Sometimes a group of cows follow us around while we work. It's cute.

Redneck tip #2. While the locals are driving you around showing you the sites and driver says "hold my beer and watch this shit", hold on tight, but the main rule is DON'T spill the beer.

So that's what happened to you. I have this picture of you sneaking into a cornfield at night to wardrive someone's satellite connection.

You know, for science.
