To the putz that pulled the fire alarm at 1am at the hotel block. That was not very “Midwestern nice” of you. #MHA2025

Good Morning Des Moines! Early bird gets the worm!🪱
Big shout-out to Krause Feeds in Hope, MN, less than a mile off I-35, where gas was still just $2.69/gal (compared to $3 in nearby big-city Owatonna) likely because the store doesn't open until 6:30am to adjust. But Pump #1 now serves 24 hours!
