THOROUGHFARE, Algona, Iowa, ABATE Freedom Rally -- The thoroughfare was lively tonight. Women have zero cumpunction about going topless or fully naked. They walk with beer coolers on their backs and, still, stop and pet the dogs. They float in their kiddy pools, defying tan lines. One totally naked gal played with dogs for several minutes.
There are more beer guts here - men and women - than I've seen in a lifetime. All said, the Iowa ABATE folks are great - they check on us constantly.
I met Santa today. He's on vacation, has tattoos and ear piercings. But he is Santa. He said that, in the Santa off-season, kids don't blink an eye at his ink. If you thing about it, one never knows if Santa has tats and rings - he wears a suit and beard that covers everything.

Broke down and bought the giant pina colada drink from neighbors - included a lei and blinking cup. Ding put two new tires on Red Sled and took a little ride. Otherwise, mellow day. Dave, the ABATE of Iowa assitant state dude, drove me around in golf cart so I could put up signage. Met Dawn of Nebraska ABATE. She walked up to tent about 11 p.m., asking if we knew where Dings was. We're here. She hung out with Pin Striping dude and others. No complaints. More soon,,Hol
