Hanging out in sunny Iowa. Cooler these past couple of days. Getting some good meals off of our grill here. And enjoying lounging on the patio in the back yard.
My niece’s wedding was a fun event this past weekend. It brought family together from far and wide and that was nice. We were able to gather in post-wedding groups on Sunday and toast to both those past and that yet to come.

Being close to the Iowa border means lots of TV ads for potential republicans presidential candidates .

I visited my parents on Father’s Day. They live near Iowa. Oof.

I solve the ad issue by watching content in non-English languages on youtube. Spanish is the only language it will even serve me ads in, and those are not political for whatever reason.
The German and Dutch youtube apparently decided to punt and just offer ad-free.
