Message for Boise River Floaters

noreply@blogger.com (Debbie Courson Smith) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:19:00 +0000

Actually, two messages. Follow the signs for safety and...don't float yet. The water is still too high and the snags haven't been cleared.

I don't have a solar filter for my camera, so I used several sheets of x-ray film as a "filter." This was taken at 6:40 p.m.

We didn't see the "ring of fire" eclipse in Boise - although the crescent became small. This photo was taken at 7:26 p.m.

Happy Hour Starts When You Walk in the Door

noreply@blogger.com (Debbie Courson Smith) — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:40:00 +0000

Some people call it a dive bar, others say it's a neighborhood bar. I can't believe after all these years in Boise, I've never stepped inside Jim Alibi on Broadway Avenue. But one of its claims to fame is that "happy hour starts the moment you walk in the door."
