Throwback: Good Sports

Ridiculous Days contest from the Algona Upper Des Moines archives dated July 17, 1956. These gentlemen were good sports for a little ridiculousness. Innocent fun or exploitation? Was anyone offended? How would a contest like this go over today? Definitely a good conversation starter. Share your thoughts at news@algona.com.

Out of the Past

Battery explodes injuring manager

150 Years Ago

In passing through Irvington we could not see that much damage had been to the grain in that section by the grasshoppers. Wheat generally looks very well as did some fields of corn. Dr. Armstrong, has the finest field of corn that can be seen anywhere. The stand is good and even and the ground is as clean of weeds as any floor. They say the Doctor always has a good corn crop.

Ink Spots

Of soapboxes, fireworks and Facebook

Random thoughts at 3 a.m. when not sleeping:

   There doesn’t seem to be much going on in the neighborhood at 3 a.m. Of course, the Fourth of July is over, so no more firecrackers in the neighborhood at 3 a.m. Or midnight. Or 7 a.m.

If I sound bitter, it’s only because I am. I just don’t get what the thrill is of loud bangs. Beautiful, sparkly fireworks are wonderful. Loud explosions are not.

The Daily Umbrella

Teeter and Totter

 

Most all of us spent time on a teeter-totter growing up, learning about balance and timing and force. I am still learning. A little more teeter and a little less totter. Or maybe it’s a little more totter and a little less teeter. I’m not sure. But I do know we can learn from that piece of playground equipment, starting with forgiveness.
