"I would move out of Iowa if I wasn't so old."

4. The 5 children of my Repub brother were raised in Iowa

and 4 of them went to the University in Iowa City where they lived. The fifth went to school in Wyoming to become an auto mechanic. Two are PhD chemists ( like their father, my brother). The one girl teaches dance. None of them live in Iowa.
Two live in Colorado, one in California, one in Wisconsin, and one in Texas. The two PhD's are Democrats. The two who live in Colorado are Republicans like their parents, and I suspect the girl who lives in Texas--and married her middle school boyfriend without ever dating anyone else--is a Republican. Her husband's parents are very good friends with her parents and they often all vacation together. But the parents don't live in Iowa any longer, either (California and Wisconsin).
