boise's many species


her eyes read, "stop right there, mister"




there was a clean diaper in a clean swath of green shubbery




upon entering the zoo, a. expressed that her only desire was to see a kid on a leash, as it seemed only fitting: we cage animals, right?: lo & behold, we didn't need to go far: this tyke had a monkey on his back (o, & he already feels the weight!): like most monkeys on backs, the parents definitely played a part getting it there: this kid could have had a brutal first few years that led him down the path he wanders now: fortunately, his parents are well aware of his situation: dad is never a tail-length away




father & son: & leash & monkey




this is the smallest & ugliest plastic carousel i have ever seen: it is a disgrace to the carousel community: someone ought to slip a wrench into those gears




notice the haughty male




a. peeping




animals sliding down animals




photo op with the wild animals




ain't much possible without pepsi! where would we be?




i can't imagine what could have happened




if the color almost matches




a. is slightly disappointed to find how vegan-unfriendly boise is




e. made a rare public appearance: he is leaving for new york at the end of the summer to go to school @ columbia: pat him on the back if you see him: though he might hit for this




this gyro did not save the day




lunch with a.: also known as m.




not sure why, but this alley was calling




this package of "pork sausage" was found on the walk home the afternoon: funny thing is, i don't think there is a Kroger grocery store within a thousand miles of boise

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




p.: photogenic




westwood discount!




after 2 years in chile c. still looks 12 & i still look...red?




ridin' with c.




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
