From Spring back to Winter for a couple of weeks

I didn't get to posting on Monday, it was a busy week. I did take these photos during the cold and wet week it has been.
I guess the 'Ninio' took a break so a more normal weather pattern was able to work down from the North for last week and is predicted for most of the next. Last Monday was snowy and cold. It turned out to stay cold and off and on snowy or rainy the entire week. So much for Spring!

Middle photo shows another group of clouds looking East from town.

Last photo shows the results in the Cabinet mountains of the mid-week snowfall.

Hopefully this next week we'll find out for positive if Stacy gets bumped up to the "chief" position or not. She's been really stressing over it for weeks now. They really don't have a better choice than Stacy since she's already been doing her and much of the bosses job almost since she started working there. The current Chief leaves at the end of this month so they should have made a decision by now if it was going to be anyone from the 'outside'! When it became public knowledge about the upcoming vacancy, all of the sudden all these people came out of the woodwork inquiring about their chances at the job.
Stacy will be traveling the next two weeks for some state stuff. One day this next week and two days the following week.
Sandy is working hard at the preparations for her "half marathon" next month in Santa Barbara. She's been running a lot and going on local events in her area. She is supposed to be running on a mini marathon this weekend.
Well, I'll try to get back on tract for posting next Monday!

A Historic Day

Yes, one way or the other it will be a historic day today, Election Day in the USA, 2016. Either the "crooked" lifetime politician and first woman to be the president will win or the proven somewhat unstable "megalomaniac" and itching to start a war businessman will win. Personally, I voted for Clinton. A proven lifetime politician outweighs the alternative in my opinion. I heard a comment of with Clinton it will be "The Hunger Games" part one, with Trump it would be "The Hunger Games" part 2!! In our neck of the woods, early voting and absentee voting has been going on for over two months. We voted a couple of weeks ago. Above, in the lobby of the County Courthouse, four early voting stations had been set up for several weeks. 2 non the right and 2 on the left at the desk behind that sign. Below, I took a 'stealth' photo of some people voting. You never can tell in North Idaho what will set off people so I didn't want...

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...

Soupy Sales and memories of being a kid

I first heard about Soupy Sales dieing this morning as I listened to the 60's on 6 as I was working on breakfast and getting my lunch ready to go for work. His show was often very funny, even more so as I grew up and had a better understanding of his more adult humor. I know I was seeing reruns of his old show even back then, 1970's era, but they were new to me! As I was reading on the Entertainment Weekly website about his death they had clips from You Tube to see. Boy the memories, of his as well as all the shows I remember seeing back in the mid 1960's and on. Pookie, White Fang, funny. I never cared much for the 'pie in the face' gag, but still overall funny shows. Growing up in the areas of San Bernardino, Highland and Redlands California, we watched the channels from the "greater Los Angeles area". I recall Captain Kangaroo on channel 2, Hobo Kelly on either 11 or 13, Sheriff John's Lunch Brigade ("put another candle on the birthday cake, th...
