There have been many students that have visited me in the last few days. Summer always brings many groups to Washington to see the sights. I always enjoy visiting with the students and answering their questions. When I meet with them, the first thing we usually do is take a picture. I tell them a little bit about myself and remind them to check out my Facebook and MySpace pages. Then I take questions for about 15 minutes. Today I was asked about what I do during a normal day, the 2008 presidential election, the Farm Bill and alternative energy. Since yesterday morning, I have visited with 4-Hers from northwest and north central Iowa, as well as students from Spirit Lake Middle School, Forest City Middle School and Hudson Middle School. I hope they enjoy the rest of their time in Washington and have a safe trip home.
