Riding a Truck Story Roars Through Time
A humorous reminiscence traces humanity’s vehicle evolution from ark animals to camels, cayuses, and finally the truck. The narrator recalls a risky ride up hills, loose teeth, and damaged dogs and rabbits, with wry notes on barber shop observations and a flippant line about Noah and floods.

Battle ground near Goose Lake unearthed by Kirk family
James Kirk and his two sons found hundreds of Indian arrow heads spear points and stone war implements on the south shore of Goose Lake near Fertile Worth county Iowa. The items are tied to a legendary pre white man battle between Sioux and Winnebagoes led by Giskineki and Black Eagle with the Broken Wing. The site reputedly predates the Spirit Lake massacre and convinces locals that a great clash occurred at that location.
