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 to chance it and take the photo in plain view. 


Idaho is a RED state with not a big population base, most live in the South end of the state anyway, and 4 Electoral votes, and most people are pro Trump and ones that aren't, like me, don't talk about it! They had been pro Ted Cruz who I think would have been worse than Trump, but then he lost to Trump. Just as like Obama in 2012, many have already been griping for months about how "Crooked Hillary" better not try to get our guns! I heard for years! Like Obama was going to come all the way up here and personally go door to door looking for guns! It NEVER happened and won't with Clinton either, should she win as predicted. 
Anyway, some will be happy, some will be mad, at this point, 5 p.m. Pacific time, it is still too close to call and many will wake up to the news. 
Our local ballot had only about 10 things to vote on including the president. I remember the California ballots were pages long and the balloting books going over the things to vote on were literally books!
At least this year will be one for the record books no matter how it turns out. Record turn outs are assured. Even here, in Bonners Ferry, the early voting has been more than most have ever seen and many are voting that never had before. 

What will we all do without the craziest reality TV show ever created ?

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 ...

O.M.G.! I haven't posted since February!!!!!

I knew it has been a while, a long while. Not this long though! So, readers in the either, if there are any still around, what's been going on with our life adventure? The high points since February 2018: 1. We almost bought a new truck. 2. While we didn't finally buy a truck in late March, we traded in two-vehicles and bought a 2018 Toyota, Rav4 Hybrid, CUV ( C ompact 'sports'  U tility V ehicle). 3. We had a fantastic summer trip with the granddaughters spending 9 days in Yellowstone last July. The bunkhouse 5th wheel trailer we bought July 2017 right after our June trip in 2017, proved to be the BEST way to comfortably sleep and house the 5 of us, me, Stacy, Sandy, and the granddaughters, for a trip. 4. In August we got Stacy the one RV trailer she's been wanting for several years now, a Winnebago Micro-Minnie, a 20-foot long travel trailer that sleeps two. Stacy used it for a week-long business trip to Boise for state-level meetings just a couple of wee...
