Spiders, Crawlers and Web Bots target Vinton Today
This week has been crazy! With the schedule picking up, I am getting a reminder of just how busy life can be when things are normal!Then someone had the great idea that THIS would be the perfect time to launch a new website. Many of you have been emailing, or calling, or texting concerning the site, wondering were we were, did we know we were down, where's my email and so I think it would just be easier to pass along an [upd] from our tech guy.
Dr. Seuss and Websites
I had forgotten that along with launching a new website, it might look good, function well and give you no problems, until you move the silly thing to the new home web address. I'd been looking at it and had been driving my web guy, who is the real brains behind the operation nuts with my many ideas and changing my mind on ideas.Today I was trying to explain what it was doing on my end of it.
Thank you from the Smith Family

community, our church families, citizens from across America, Iowa

New Streets VS. New Internet Service
Updated: Service was restored at approximately 9:15 pm. For the second time, iVinton was hit by Boomerang Corp. as the two competed for underground space. Unofficial word is that Boomerang had cut service lines twice today. The first time along 10th St. The second time it has still been unconfirmed of where the cut has been made. However, it appears that it is on the 2nd Ave. Letter to the Editor: Thank You Vinton!
These past few days have once again reminded Julie and me how wonderful the people of Vinton are and have been for the past 32 years. We just sat down to relax after spending the past 3 hours reliving memories with old and new friends at Total Balance. It was a reception that we will always cherish as we [st] off to Dubuque. Our good friends at Bethlehem Lutheran, Tilford Elementary School, Vinton Unlimited, and countless close friends have also shared memories with us in their homes, along the street, or on Facebook.

So, Governor Reynolds has signed HF756. It’s being referred widely as the “Constitutional Carry” bill – meaning that a citizen of Iowa derives their right to carry a weapon from the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.

Editor:First off I am an unhyphenated Patriotic American, but I have been called a “bitter clinger”, a “deplorable –irreconcilable”, and lately a “Neanderthal” thinker. And now according to Leonard Pitts’ opinion piece in the April 1 DMREG – I am a coward, liar, and a fool because I do not fall for the Liberal/Marxist/Communist wing of the Democrat party.
Getting back to nature
If there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s a stupid person. Well, people without common sense I should say. And then I became one.I used to be in that smart group, the ones with common sense. The shook my head at the people that did stupid things. Do you remember the segment on Jay Leno's show called "Stupid Criminals?" It was a segment highlighting things that the criminals did that usually got them caught.
Letter to the Editor: Deference
Editor:Aurora Borealis ---- https://biggeekdad.com/2016/02/northern-lights-in-finland/It is weird flying through green clouds, but beautiful and awesome at the same time.I witnessed this phenomenon over 50yrs ago while on Active Duty USAF.
