7:45am - Friday July 25, 2008 - North Liberty, Iowa
Approaching 8:00am on a Friday. Most of North America was going to work, about to get up for work or was already at work. But in the RAGBRAI zone here’s what was happening at this moment in the pilderwasser collective:
Left over fried rice. Half full/Half empty beer. Gatorade. Soy sauce. Cell phone. Becky’s jug of vodka. Abbey’s diet Mountain Dew. All resting neatly atop Jason (the cooler) half full/half empty with ice cold Old Style Light. To your right you’ll find a box of Triscuits and a Triscuits box full of summer sausage from the previous night (see cutting board and knife) You’d have to reach in one or the other to know which is which. Seated just behind Jason you see Abbey in her ruby slippers, with a very nice digital camera taking very nice digital photos in the very nice Iowa morning. In the near distance you see a chamois tree that was decorated with chamois the night before. A little further back Old Glory, flapping in the wind, illuminated all night and day with its own dedicated spotlight. All of this was taking place on lush green grass in a park in North Liberty, Iowa.
The citizens in RAGBRAI were feeling good, having a ball and heading into their last full day and night of the seven day fiesta. The citizens in the rest of the world had no clue what was really going on in RAGBRAI.
