No. Just a few blocks from the cobblestone. Isn't the Cobblestone just a few blocks from the Modern? The reason I ask is when I stayed at the Modern I thought I ran over to a store across the highway to pick up some things. Of course, that was 2008.

You were much younger then, distances didn't seem as long.

Across the street from the Modern was Cafe 128, where we used to gather for Saturday breakfasts. Its staff opened the Vinton Family Restaurant after the former closed.

Up the street from Cafe 218 was the Dollar General, probably where you went. The Hy-Vee is further down the road, close to the Cobblestone.

A few years ago there was a nice condition (not rust, looked new) orange Gremlin for sale on 4th St. in Vinton with a for sale sign on it. Four days later it was gone, replaced by a good condition green Gremlin for sale. If left in about two days and I've never seen a Gremlin anywhere since.

No doubt snapped up by the powerful Gremlin Cartel.

I sure wish I could come. Maybe someday. Do it this year. We’ve had practicing physicians join us before, just ask Doc. We don’t discriminate against attendees just because they are gainfully employed.

Actually, given IJam demographics, the more doctors the better. Cardiologists, rheumatologists, and gerontologists particularly welcome.

We don’t discriminate against attendees just because they are gainfully employed. Just tell your patients to suck it up. You’ll be back in a trice. And I think it’s about time you got a musical vacay.

Add my vote, Shannon. You should come. It's only a few days.

With Covid coming around again, I was wondering about Idiotjam. I spoke with Phil (Philintheblan) at a concert in Garrison, and his thought that we have enough Iowans around that we could have one anyway, and he's right. So, based on that, Idiotjam is on. I'll notify the Cobblestone and La Reyna this week.
