Three photos taken earlier today of our town after almost 5 days of Spring rain showers. Top photo shows the trees in front of the court house becoming green again after Winter.

















Middle photo shows the low rainy clouds that started out the day. Photo shows the towns clock tower, tops of some old brick buildings in town and highway 95/2 going North from the drop down into old town since it sits almost right on the river.
















And lastly looking East at low clouds and rain out towards Katka Mountain, in the clouds. Although no wind at the time, it has since gotten VERY windy with showers outside with the flags all standing straight out including the giant one in the photo that is at the Library. A more winter in most areas 48 degrees outside too!


















Stacy's the "big cheese" now. Jackie was in for about an hour this morning and got the last of her things and said her good byes, for now. Officially, Stacy still isn't the boss until midnight tonight. She's in her 'new' office cleaning up and seeing how she might change and rearrange things next week.
An interesting thing will be happening tomorrow night, several of Stacy's probationers wanted to attend the High School Prom tomorrow night. The Principal only gave the OK if Stacy would be there too to keep an eye on those kids. So we're going to the Prom to be with the security. It has been a pretty good joke with several of the court employees, going to the Prom and all. But I'm certain it will be interesting to see. I never went when I was in school, way too shy back then to have a girlfriend or even consider asking anybody to it. So, we'll see what happens.

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 ...

I Must Agree, 2020 Is The Year That Isn't.

 I know there are many, many people feeling along those lines.  Luckily, our area has yet to experience a large spike. Even in this rural area, the virus has made it here too. As mentioned before, most of the state cases are in the heavily populated south end of the state but there is still a count of over 38,000 positive and 451-deaths in the state.  As of this post, there has been one confirmed death of a 70-year old male, and there are currently 56-cases in this county. The most recent cases are high school sports students as schools opened on September 8th and at the last minute decided to go back to all 'in-person' classes even with all the preparations of having 'hybrid' classes of 2-days a week at school, 2-days a week online, and rotating to keep the student count down to the advised numbers to limit exposure. Our area schools are all on a 4-day week and have been for many years.  However, with those kids, are also over 65 other students who were identified w...

Four photos from the California trip

Heading South on I-15 in Utah. I'd kind of missed these 100 mile views as I saw them again while driving through this and our old high desert areas of California. It was still cool here but I got to our old area as I went through San Bernardino at the height of a heatwave with temps in the 90's! All the traffic and congestion of being back in that area for the first time in over 3 years made me glad it was just a visit! I only wished I hadn't been on such a tight time schedule and had a day free to visit with people I hadn't seen in person in almost 5 years! I was so surprised to see Primm (or Stateline Nevada) so deserted! This photo of Whiskey Pete's all but empty, it used to never be this empty, any day of the week! The Hotel is closed except for weekends anymore, only open for gambling and the McDonald's inside was the only 'restaurant' open! I'd gone there first to get a room on the way down to San Diego. I Guess most people just drive the 40 ...
