It snowed enough to be exciting yesterday. And it’s supposed to do it again tonight, if you believe those guys on the TV. We were at a work party at church this morning and went by the governor’s mansion. It sits on top of a hill with a tremendous view of the city, the mountains, and the valley. And the hill is the stuff of every kid’s sledding dreams. I would have traded one of my siblings for a hill like this, with snow on it, when I was young. Alas, I never had access to a hill like this.
Because Idaho is a wonderful place and, as yet, not totally wussed over by nanny staters, they still allow the common folk to bring the kids and sled on this hill. I know, I know… there are trees to run into, parked cars to hit, and a street at the bottom you have to look out for. It’s wonderful! Lots of folks on it today too, but they’ve about used up all the snow for now. I hope we get more… I bet I could con my sweetie into a slide down it.
Did I tell you they ride ice blocks down it during the summer? Yeah, I know, Idaho is awesome.

Yep. Idaho rocks. Remember sledding on a hill in the Southeastern corner near Rockland. It was about the same length, steepness, and height - and it was a road! They aptly named it Wildcat road. Barbed wire down both sides. Man I left a lot of skin on that hill….
