Bike trail from Highway 1 to West Benton

Beginning at Ruppert Road and Highway 1, the trail winds up the steep
hill with a series of switchbacks to reduce the grade of the incline.
Following the trail, and riding through The Lodge driveway and parking
area, the trail continues through to West Benton.

Walmart is like the Marines of Retail

With bridges out and major roads closed, Walmart (on Highway 1 in Iowa
City) is fully staffed and fully stocked with shelves full of
merchandise in all departments including food, water, clothing, and

Haircut Style #1357

The style number of the haircut refers to the clipper guard used on the Wahl hair clippers. The #1 guard is used on the beard. The #3 guard is used for the lower fringes of the hair. The #5 guard is used on the sides. The #7 guard is used on the top of the head to create a tapered and full look. Cutting hair at home can save hundreds of dollars per year.

Water Conservation Tip

If a shower and tub are available, after quickly rinsing off sweat and
dirt, the relatively clean soapy shower water can be captured and used
for washing the previous day's clothes. Then that water and the rinse
water can be saved and poured in the toilet for flushing. The clothes
can be line dried.
