Last August 3rd, the only car dealer in town, Riverside Motors had a fire destroy their offices and showroom. Above was during the fast moving 20 minute fire. Below was taken less than 15 minutes ago and shows their new showroom/offices just about ready to move into. The rubble from the burn down was gone in less than two weeks and crews worked all during the coldest part of winter building this new building. It was moved to the back of the property and cars were moved up to the front. Since the fire the 'offices' were moved out to trailers not visible in the photo but to the left of the new building. Riverside also lost the GM part of the sales and service end of it with the GM restructuring. Too bad for the owners of all the GM cars and trucks in the area, like us, we have to drive to Sandpoint to a dealer there for GM service etc. About 35 miles away now. Riverside is now just a Chrysler/Dodge dealer service location. Pretty building though! Photo below actually occurred ...
This Blog was started because it's so often just too difficult for us to stay in contact with everybody we want to! Almost everyone we know lives in different timezones, different areas, and has their different lives. Now everybody can come to one place to see what we're doing!

Just kidding. Your place looks really great. Glad your safe and out of California.
Since I'm on your blog site I can ask a question. What happened to you guys this year? This is the first year that I heard from nobody---at all. Did I offend somebody unknowingly?
By the way my book is out next week. At least Volume 1 is. There are a total of ten volumes which will take another four months to get all ten printed.
I am going to do another piece of research and illustration for my friend David Clark of the submarine "Intelligent Whale" for a TV special next year.
Outside of this I am being lined up for a bunch of book signings and for some of this I'm not too happy about. Damn, I could use a break.
Take care kids and I'll talk to you laterp---WEill you talk to me?
