It’s also a pretty good anti-drug message.

Lloyd B. Cunningham has logged more than 320 dives in West Lake Okoboji exploring the bottom, making photographs and recovering antique bottles, anchors, and ice harvesting tools.

In 1948, a 1935 Ford truck driven Ralph Gregerson was being used to harvest ice on West Okoboji when it slipped into the water and sank into Smith’s Bay. Don Gregerson ,Spirit Lake. Iowa, and son of the driver says that the truck didn’t settle into the bottom. Its air-filled tires and wooden box left it buoyant enough to move along the bottom for years.

Recent divers have collected the tools that rested on the truck’s bed. They are in the Iowa Maritime Museum. There you can also see a photograph of the truck as it looked before it sank into the lake.

Franklin Mint Collector’s Edition Monopoly:

Monopoly has never before looked so good. From the high-quality wooden game board to the gold-plated hotels, each player will feel like a millionaire (whether they win or not!) The middle of the board is in-laid with a rich green felt, while the board itself opens up to reveal a hidden cash drawer to stash your winnings.

The pieces are one-of-a-kind, and all dipped or accented in either sterling silver or pure gold. The collector’s edition includes a bound real estate portfolio to hold the bank’s property deeds, heavy dice, custom-printed money, a cash drawer for the banker, and gold-foiled community chest and chance cards.

Berkshire Hathaway’s Diamond Edition Monopoly:

In place of the traditional Monopoly game pieces, such as the car and ship, the Berkshire version uses pieces that represent companies. They are an ice cream cone for Dairy Queen, a cowboy boot for Justin Brands, a sofa for Buffett’s furniture stores, a diamond ring for his several jewelry stores, an airplane for his aviation companies and a gecko for GEICO Auto Insurance.

Borsheim’s ~ is Boardwalk and the Nebraska Furniture Mart is Park Place.

The Community Chest and Chance cards feature the likeness of Buffett and his right hand man, Berkshire vice chairman Charlie Munger.

Four insurance units of Berkshire — GEICO, National Indemnity Insurance, General Reinsurance and U.S. Liability Insurance — take the place of the railroads in the game, while its Mid American Energy Unit replaces Electric Co. Wayne Water Systems, another Berkshire unit, take the place of Water Works.
