Centerville, IA PIREP

I actually spent a night in Centerville, IA (the weather was crappy
farther north or I would have gone to Jay's!).

Snip of great story

You dog(s)! You were in Centerville, and didn't even call? See if I
ever let you dance on *my* wing again...

;-)

I'm glad you found a nice place -- but it's too bad you didn't meet
Kathy. You two would've really hit it off. She is fun, charming,
witty, outgoing, and (in short) the absolute antithesis of the owner of
that *other* Iowa FBO I recently wrote about.

morning we were figuring out our route around weather in the lobby and
garnered up a bit of a crowd to chat. We got a ride back to the airport
and then discovered if we'd been really stuck the FBO although deserted
was open, light on, and enough food with a list of prices and a coffee
can. We could have lived there for a week!


I once had to spend a night at Brinkley, Arkansas because of weather.
Got a ride their hotel and asked if the lady behind the desk if I could
get a ride back to the airport in the morning. She said I could call
the police station and they'd take me, which they did. Got a nice tour
of the town by the officer. Guess that's one way to keep an eye on
those outsiders.

Ok, that settles it... Centerville, IA, is definitely on my to-do list
in the future. (Hopefully within the next couple of years kind of
future!)
