Hey, it's waters from the waters wake-up call.

Hey this morning our random Wednesday topic It was kind of a tough assignment to encapsulate what spring is in eastern Iowa in just five words Well, good morning to you.

How are you?

I'm good.

How are you?

I'm doing good.

I'll bet you have five words for spring in Iowa.

I've got a couple of

them.

Lay them on me sister.

Who made mother nature mad?

Yeah, yeah who and you know what maybe she needs a Snickers

That could very well be

that could be that good.

I like that one

or how about mother nature offer medicine

Yeah, or offer meds, you know usually when you're crazy they say you're off your meds which sounds crazier even Yeah, yeah, so she's she's either mad or not medicated enough or both

Exactly

she needs to be happy and drugged up

Then, yes, and have a Snickers.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think that's the solution for Iowa Springs.

Snickers would make everything all better.

I agree.

I agree.

A hundred percent.

Thank God you've called.

Yeah.

Like the box of chocolate.

Like a box of chocolates.

Like my five words I said earlier.

You never, that's the first word, know what you're gonna get.

Like a box of chocolates.

Yes.

I agree.

That's always what I refer to when I talk about spring in eastern Iowa is the forest gump hypothesis.

Good morning, Mike.

Well, good morning, Dave from Atkins.

How are you?

I'm doing great today.

Good.

Good, good, good.

What do you got?

What do you got, Dave?

I got your five words.

OK.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall.

All you got to do

is

cup home.

And I'll be there.

Yes, I will, Dave.

We've got them all in spring here in Iowa.

You got a friend.

Yeah, we do.

We do.

That's why

Cedar Rapids was smart enough to do the whole five seasons thing, because we get them all, especially right here in spring.

We get every one of them any time.

Yeah, and it's showing it this week.

We had spring yesterday, and now we're kind of having fall, and then we're going to have winter, and then spring hopefully will come back next week, and you never know.

And then you never know.

Summer may pop in there too.

Right.

Yeah, it might.

That'd be nice, but I never

Count

on it.

We had it back in February.

Yeah, we did, didn't we?

That

was

nice.

That was

nice.

Hey, Mr. Waters, how are you

today?

I am good, Hawaiian.

How are you?

I am doing very

good.

Good, good.

So my five.

Yes.

Weather today?

In the wheel.

Yes.

I haven't heard that one yet.

So when you lived in Hawaii, describe Spring in Hawaii in however many words you

want.

Paradise, okay.

So spring is paradise.

I'm sure summer, winter, and fall are the same,

right?

Winter's wet.

Oh, winter's wet, okay.

So it's three paradises and a wet?

That's it.

Good morning, Mike Waters.

How are you this

morning?

Hey, I'm doing pretty good.

How are you?

Better than I deserve.

I have a description of Iowa weather and five letters.

Spring in Iowa and five letters?

Well, I can't wait to hear this.

Blue bar.

Follow the...

Fowled up beyond all recognition.

Yes, yes, you can use foul.

I thank you for using foul in this particular.

I wanted to be appropriate for your airwaves.

Yeah, we are semi-family friendly, so.

There you go.

Foo bar, that is perfect.

Thank you,

sir.

Well, you

have

a great

day, Mike.

You bet.

My words

are

rain, snow, wind, potholes, flowers.

And you know,

with potholes, you can do a lot of things with potholes.

Plant flowers in them.

You can plant flowers in the potholes.

The wet season, they get full.

And you can fish in the pothole.

You can go pothole fishing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Those pothole fish, they're real tasty.

A lot of people would be surprised by that.

Ah!

Oh, Julie.

Well, those are five perfect words.

That blizzard was in 73.

Yeah,

the big, big one.

Yeah, I keep hearing about the 73 blizzard.

The reason I remember it really well is my dad and mom had bought.

a new Bronco and a new Maverick.

So they went outside and they took pictures and everything was brown.

The next week they took pictures and everything was covered in snow.

So everything was white from brown

to white.

And the next week they went out and took a picture and everything is bright green.

You

see those pictures were a great visual representation of spring in Iowa.

That's perfect.

You've done

it with

words and images, Julie.

Thank

you.

I

can do it too.

Easter Blizzard.

Easter Blizzard?

Yep, Easter Blizzard.

Was that 73?

If I was through that one, yeah.

I remember that always.

Yeah, and you know, Easter Bunny died

in that Blizzard.

And his son had a takeover.

Do you remember that?

I don't remember that one.

Well,

I read that online, so it's gotta

be

true.

I'm sure it is.

I mean, was that the same Easter Bunny you guys braided?

We

did goose eggs for some reason.

He judged our personalities and we did goose eggs.

So that

was the Easter goose.

Yeah, Easter goose.

Easter goose in kindergarten.

Yeah.
