Bob may manage to keep me on X for a while.
Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

No matter the election outcome, could we rely on a @JohnKingCNN #MagicWall to analyze all major events worldwide going forward?

Iowa somehow always finds its way back into the national political conversation.
The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Kamala Harris picking up support from women to surpass Donald Trump in Iowa, a ruby-red state he has won twice. Details: desmoinesregister.com/story/…

Likewise—because the “other things” Dylan has done in the last 20+ years are powerful, too. A lifetime of creativity demands adapting with your muse and toolkit.
I think about this moment from Bob Dylan's 60 Minutes interview a lot

Mt. Pleasant, Iowa suffered a blow when Iowa Wesleyan University closed last year. RAGBRAI is a welcome shot in the arm. We’re staying in the former university library, now operated by The Belle Center — a non-profit dedicated to community & innovation. bellecenter.org/

Such fun to be back in Atlantic last evening with Lloyd and Winnie Munson (our teammate @KyleMunson’s folks) whom we last visited in 2019. Winnie’s pie game is as strong as ever.

Many thanks to our Glenwood hosts, Jack Groves, Montana Crow, and Montana’s dad Tim. The cool evening on their porch was a delightful kickoff to our Iowa adventure. Here’s today’s cycling route.

My favorite X at this point is #iawx X. Looking for the proper terminology for this cloud formation over the @IowaCubs game … ?

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth. It was on this day in 1865 that Union soldiers landed in Galveston Bay, Texas, with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved people there were now free. This pivotal event took place two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Although it has long been celebrated in the African American community, it became a federal holiday in 2021. Happy Juneteenth!

My heart goes out to Greenfield and everybody affected by this devastating #iawx.
Our first look at the damage in Greenfield. It’s widespread in this town of about 2000.

Just heard this for the first time. Her voice floors me. It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a new (to me) singer this powerful, distinct, and emotional.
Happy release day #GraceCummings! The Australian singer-songwriter is today back with her finest and most captivating work yet, produced by @songsofjw. Discover her third album 'Ramona', out now via @ATORecords: atorecords-ffm.com/global-ra…

Hilliest means the other 2 “H” factors in the #RAGBRAI Hills + Heat + Headwinds equation become that much more important. #bicycle #Iowa 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️
