Years ago, I did a series of magazine articles on some of Iowa’s worst fires. The list began with a mental hospital in Davenport where nearly fifty women, some quite young, died an awful death.
In Iowa, you can’t be fired because you are Jewish, gay, Hispanic, blind, old, male or female.
But you can be fired if you’re cute.
It sounds interesting, or even fun, but shooting shed bucks is not a good thing. However, each and every year we hear about more and more “big does” getting shot by mistake.
