The Native Iowan 
I had to drive to the city (about 100ks) to check on some stuff. Of course it was not ready. Wasted trip really. And this being easter weekend // and ANZAC day weekend… traffic sucks.
One thing… the Queensland state road department decided, on what will probably be the biggest holiday weekend of the year, to undertake road works on the Bruce Highway… my golly… what a pack of idiots… the only arterial road north, out of Brisbane, the speed limit is 110k and we’re going 20ks? Unbelievable!
But, while I was enjoying the lovely drive and magnificent scenery (even though my blood was boiling) I heard a medical alert for parents over Easter… it basically states that parents should buy small chocolate eggs and bunnies as the big stuff was just too much for kids…
A no brainer in my books but goes to show just how strange life really is…
