I trust that they're okay.

I wonder how Iowa is doing.  The last I heard, it was underwater.  The last I heard, they were sandbagging.  Then it just disappeared from the news, like it had been swallowed up by the Earth, never to be heard from again (though that would certainly be newsworthy).  I guess we were just meant to assume that everything worked out, that the waters dropped, and people began the cleanup process.  Well, I just want to wish the people there the best of luck and let them know that I remember.
