@jillpartin Funny. I can drive through a blizzard but I wouldn't want to deal with an earthquake. More power to you!

Here's one of the fun roads I drove on yesterday in northwest Iowa: http://www.flickr.com/photos... #winter #ice #snow #driving

@jillpartin hang on tight!

Looking for a road trip this week? Iowa's best pork tenderloin is waiting for you at Goldie's in Prairie City. You won't be disapointed!

@foodprovider It's worth the trip next time your in central Iowa. Great Iowa #pork!

@Photo_John Make the trip to Iowa and I'll buy you one! It was great trust me! #pork #food #farmers

Benefit of being a photog....Photos of the best #Pork tenderloin in Iowa. At Goldies in Prairie City. Might take my time with this photo :-)

At the state capitol to take a portrait of our state policy advisors. Legislative season is right around the corner. #Iowa #politics

@ruralroots Will do. What happened to you in your playoff game? I held up my end of the bargain. He's Gould-en!!

Terrible season for the Bears but a saweeet victory last night. Wish they had that hustle all season. Some amazing hits on defense and the WR's were in snyc for once! My dad always gauged a good season on two wins...Packers and Vikings!

Now I know the definition of partially covered in Iowa DOT's handbook. No fun!

@Iowaborn_raised I can bring samples back if you want to revive those memories. HaHahaha!

Negative one on the car temp gauge and snow as far as the eye can see this morning across the Iowa countryside.

On the road to Storm Lake. Going to a feed mill that burned down and community is helping out.

@zmariks Glad you liked it. Took the family to Zmariks in West Des Moines last night. Great food and great service!

@jakeboydphoto Looks great! Like the texture of the farmhouse behind the bride. Keep up the good work!

@jakeboydphoto How did your wedding shoot go?

Back at work after a great week of vacation. Tomorrow I'm traveling into an area of Iowa that has seen 30+ inches of snow this month.

Just finished shoveling more snow from the driveway. This snow thing can stop at any time!
