and guess what? we also say pop, so take that! hehe

I was living in Keokuk, Iowa 4 years ago... The bald eagle capital of the world...
That is about 120 miles South of where you live now...
I lived there for a year working on that hydro plant there in the middle of the Mississippi river...
So I know a little more than you might think about the Iowa thing...
And we say pop here in NC too, or soda...
And I even had some buggy riding Amish friends when I was there in Iowa...
