TRUE! I agree with you! My girlfriend is a milk 'n corn fed Iowa-born woman and travels the same route I do while biking so I cannot get by (safely) staring at the (non-deciduous) scenery of Des Moines while biking without dire consequences!! ; )
--now 80 degrees and windy--- and I AM out of here!!
