day 11 part 1: since i didn't post yesterday...
last night was a long day and a late night getting into mason city, iowa. this morning is an early morning: as i type i've got about an hour to shower, get ready to leave, grab breakfast (appears there's nothing around but hotel breakfast, joy), and get in the vans. i'm manning the radar and such today but when we know where we're going i'll post about yesterday, because it was actually a pretty interesting one...
