Charles City, Iowa

The Charles City Web site (here) says the population is 7,812. Make that 7,813 since I'll be here for the week.

I drove down from Minneapolis this afternoon. Lots of snow and bright sunlight. It's been a while since I've visited the Great Plains; it was a nice drive and I didn't hurry. Miles and miles of drifted snow sculptures.

I passed a huge Cabella's store in the middle of nowhere, kind of like the one in Hamburg, PA. I was not tempted to stop. I have enough stuff.

I haven't been downtown yet -- I'll check that out tomorrow. Maybe I can find a barber and get a haircut.
