pocatello, id!

though you can't quite see it, there was a massive windstorm taking place that forced me off the highway

we all ate well: homemade tortillas: veggie stuff: cucumber & red onion & yogurt concoction: etc. etc. etc.

c. was busy playing

i was worried the ice cream was melting too fast

c. is far too excited for ice cream & beer floats

my rig puts out 3 bike-power

montana flashback

pocatello IS electric!

bro & sis in front of the WOW building

$6 as is, o.b.o.

79 cent pregnancy test in a discount store?: fortunately we both passed the test with flying colors

so many great old signs in pocatello

i couldn't decide where to sit

best soup joint in the entire world: my secret

re-modeling living quarters and artists studios in the old power plant that is now the home of pocatello free bikes and c.s.a. community garden (we planted raspberries!)

there isn't yet running water

pokey free bikes is housed in an old power plant: it used to be run like an old lighthouse: living quarters up these scary stairs

forks, anyone?

back room of pokey free bikes

the surplus @ pokey free bikes

c.'s newly planted garden protected from all but groundhogs

this is a part of the world's first ever cleaning supply museum

'tis the season

croquet?: wickets were hard to find on such a sunny day

went to t.b. & c.'s place for food & friends: e. contemplating the subdivision: golf carts everywhere: even a gas powered whiskey cart for the golfers

c. with homemade veggie burgers: goodness

boot glass with water and banana to boot: bald now more than ever: maybe the banana will help

toys?

all hands on deck

guide book for summer?

a. was quite the contender with the bruschetta

the feast begins: i made a cold green bean salad with a ginger mustard sauce (blue bowl)

toy & player piano

it's getting hot in here

went to pick up papers @ school & made a funny face: i think i am thinking about someone: after about 1pm i made it a point not to take my sunglasses off no matter where i was: it's called mystery

you must click on this picture to get a good look: it is a permanent lifting system attached to the side of the building

this is a tiki bar on top of a short building: i like the way it looks (at night there is fire) but i don't think i ever want to go there

this is what saffron looks like: this is my new favorite spice: i don't think you can call it an herb: i think it is a crocus: crocus sounds like tree to me & herbs don't grow on trees

someone put all their olives on my plate

i've been making funny faces all day long: there is a picture of a man making paellea in a giant traditional basque pan (next to right elbow)

a. & i ate @ the basque market: there was a dispute that she attempted to solve by looking stuff up on the internet

rode my bike up to the depot on the was to work: the sun had just set: click on photo and chelck out the light on those hills

::

& all the trees now have leaves along the boise river

al, aka alvin greenberg gave us a reading @ satchell's

the light was just right

magical pineapple poetry party!

today was the last day my 205 poetry class met this semester: there was fruit: there was chocolate zucchini cake: & yes, there was poetry

l. recited an e.e. cummings poem: so i gave her a pineapple

music was played with guitar: later a song was sung with a ukulele by another student & another sang accapella in spanish: & yes, more poems were read: man my students got talent!

then we waived goodbye!

but not without some spoken word: word!

clouds shaped like elephants

a. had boys over for a beer on her "porch": you can now stay out all night without getting cold: i'm not sure how i feel about this

this is a bad photo of b.r.'s rig: someday i'm going to have one that looks just like it: but it will be in montana: & maybe a few years older: & maybe diesel so i can run it on fryer oil: or maybe i'll just pop a hybrid engine into it, i'm sure the technology will be available

r. bought me lunch today: she also bought me a massage for my birthday: i can't wait: though i probably won't take pictures of it

bottle tree

someone took a picture of my pepper shaker

j. & a.

e.

c. looks like he knows what he's doing

t. was playing my badminton racket to accompany the banjo: i might as well have been playing the racket that night

went to the modern & sat outside with n.: this was the view above

i'm not entirely certain of this on: the sink was really cool: i'll get a pic of that next time

this was next to the toilet in the bathroom: "i shot the sheriff" was playing: should of browsed for something better: next time

pretty sexy outside seating: fire & stuff

may

went for a walk on the north end: found some great signs

r. & i split a big breakfast

he had all the moves

a couple hundred people showed up @ the Modern hotel to check out local artists in the rooms: the even had dancing kids

my tulips
