Great news! There has been some scary stuff coming down there to add adrenaline to my commutes. So I welcome a little safer drive to the school. I'm sure I'm not alone.
and for now, during the Spring Break, we are up at our place in the mountains of Idaho...and it is WINTER. Deep snow in our canyon, snowing off and on all day, and it will continue through Wednesday. We have a mixed herd of whitetail and muley deer, with young elk wintering below us...quite a sight.
