Yep, got a new set! Got a convertor box. Don't need to, on cable. Gotta get around to that sometime.

Why do you garden, or not?
I garden for the fun of it. This year, I garden to save on groceries! I garden for good food and exercise. I really don't garden at all.

How will you use your tax rebate?
Routine spending; gas & groceries. Help on major spending; car, home improvement. I'm saving it! Not getting a rebate.

Are you pleased with the Iowa Legislature?
Yes, smoking ban, union bill, all great things! More pleased than displeased. More displeased than pleased. I'm pleased they've gone home!

Is vandalism a problem in your neighborhood?
Yes, it's a BIG problem. There's some, but it's not bad. No, not at all.

Is it time for a Democrat to drop out?
Yes, Hillary should drop out. Yes, Obama should drop out. No, let the race continue! Why don't they both drop out.

Where does your pet sleep?
In a crate or dog bed. In my bed! Anywhere it wants in the house. Anywhere, as long as it's outside.

How will the smoking ban affect you?
Never smoked, never will. Smoker, trying to quit. Smoker, and proud of it. I quit — and glad of it!

How is the price of gas affecting your family budget?
I'm driving less. I'm driving the same, but cutting down on other things. Both, driving less, and cutting back all over. It's not really affecting my budget.

Should election ballots be English-only?
Yes,. No. It really doesn't matter to me.

Should delivery workers be allowed to carry a weapon?
Yes, as long as they are legal and certified. No, it's just asking for trouble. Leave it up to the employer.

My 20s when I was footloose and free! My 30s when my family was young. The best one is always the next one! Any decade but the one I'm in right now.

What's your favorite sign of spring?
Tulips popping from the ground. Birds returning to sing and nest. Puddles of melted snow. Nice warm sunshine!

Your view on Iowa's bottle law?
Leave it as it is now. Increase the 5 cent deposit. Expand it to include water and juice bottles. Increase it and expand it both!

Do you favor a smoking ban?
Yes, ban all public smoking - period! Yes, except the casinos. Yes, except for bars and restaurants. No, it's up to people, not government.

Who's your pick for president?
Hillary Clinton John McCain Barack Obama None of the above

What type of doctor do you visit MOST often?
My family medical doctor. The dentist. The eye doctor. I almost never go to any doctor!

What should legislators do this session?
Make it more difficult for people to smoke. Ban cell phone use while driving. Raise, expand the bottle deposit. Go home and leave taxpayers alone!

Are you happy with the choices left for president?
Not at all , my candidate dropped out! You bet, my candidate is going strong! They're OK, but not my first choice. Never liked any of them anyway.

Learning keeps us young; what would you like to learn this year?
I've always wanted to learn to play piano. I'd like to learn more do-it-yourself skills. I think I should learn another language. Nothing, I'm just a happy geezer!

Who would make the best president?
Hillary Clinton Mike Huckabee Barack Obama Mitt Romney

How does faith play into your political choices?
Naturally, I vote according to my beliefs and values. I take it into account, but weigh it with other factors. I have personal faith, but it has nothing to do with my politics. Faith has no role in my choices.
