i began the day in ankeny, iowa, at my hotel, the super 8. as usual, i liked how there wasn't much on the docket for my last day in town. have breakfast, check out of the hotel, and get on the road. i had another make your own waffle, as well as pb and j on toast. the drive on i-35 back to the twin cities was largely uneventful, making a stop at the casey's in clear lake. then again in eagan at the hy-vee, although my order there was small. but i got more cereal ideas, after buying two more boxes. i am up to seven halloween cereals, soon i will have to start eating some of them. then there was returning the rental vehicle, about an hour after getting home. i picked up a slice of pizza and a slurpee at a speedway when i went to fill up the tank. close to my home i saw a box of books and claimed one of them. it is called 'readers companion to american history'. as a history major it looked like one i should have. it is a thick book, and not the only one i claimed from this extended weekend. when i was in chariton i claimed one from a little free library, called 'shoeless joe and me'. the author has done other books in this series, one became a movie and another a play. of course, i still needed to get caught up on some things like chores, i did the dishes in the evening and went to get groceries at aldi after watching 'jeopardy'. nat hawthorne was the final jeopardy answer. i went to perform in the evening and did not only some bank stories, but also about my time in iowa. during my walks i found 26 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were the first half of the final episode, where sheldon and amy learn they've won the nobel. it was followed by the one where levar burton guest stars on 'fun with flags', while sheldon decides to end the show and then re-start it.
