Does Anyone Even Live in Iowa?

Everytime I drive through the state of Iowa I'm tempted to ask the eternal question, "Does anybody live here?" No, I'm not just being a jerk because I actually like a few Iowans (even though many of them are pricks). But I'm being honest when I say there's practically nothing in Iowa. Aside from the occasional tornado, there's nothing going on in that state. No interesting festivals, towns, geography, historical landmark, practically nothing. The picture below is all there is in Iowa:



Then repeat it ad nauseum for 56,272 sq mi, and you have the entire state of Iowa. The funny thing about Iowa is that you can drive from each of the four corners of Iowa in a zigzag and you'd never run into any traffic whatsoever. None. I'm not lying. You can drive through every inch of Iowa and not run into any traffic. Just put your car on cruise control and fall asleep because there's no danger of hitting heavy traffic because it doesn't exist. You have a better chance of seeing a mountain in Florida than running into traffic in Iowa. And whether you like Iowa or not you'll all agree with me on this: driving through Iowa feels like driving through one giant, vacant parking lot. There's nothing in that state that's even remotely memorable.

P.S. As always Kim looks great in this outfit, doesn't she?
