Back in Los Angeles. Iowa was cool. It's pretty and the air smells nice.
While there, I got the sincere pleasure of being a "LeMars tour guide" for Scott (my sister's new husband!) and his kindly parents: Frank and Lisa.
At one point in the tour, we're walking down Main Street with its quaint storefronts and handsomely-designed brick sidewalks - when Scott asks his parents: "So... what do you think?"
To which Frank and Lisa (both born and raised in Southern California) stop, gaze at their surroundings, and favorably remark how LeMars is the "quintessential small town."
Yes. We all agree. It certainly is.
And right at this moment, we all turn, look through the barbershop window, and see... three smiling barbers simultaneously waving at us.
Quit showing off, LeMars!
