BILLBOARD SEEN ALONG I-15

The US Surgeon General announced today that tests have shown conclusively that tobacco in any form, but especially smoked, has a highly deleterious effect on the health of rodents such as this rock chuck (Marmota marmota.) The body was found south of Inkom, not far from Interstate 15, by two residents of Fort Hall and one of Chubbuck last Friday as they patrolled the area in search of rodentia which might need assistance in ending the personal suffering which their exposure to nicotine had caused them.

The 2009 Fort Hall Invitational Pow Wow

They say that the invitational Pow Wow down in Albuquerque is about 4 times the size of this one. That's hard to believe. There were thousands here and only a few were curious whites. I saw enough Lamanites last night to give Gen'l. Custer permanent incontinence. And, to wax scriptural about them, remember the promises in the Book of Mormon about them becoming a "delightsome people?" What could be more delightsome than this young lady, a friend of Zannita Armell?

I was given the honor of marching with these guys.

Personally, I'm glad we don't have to fight anybody who looks like this any more.

With all those stripes, I couldn't tell whether he was a retired Marine NCO or a zebra.

A lovely target of opportunity strolls through the grounds.

Akira on my lap, Arica with her arm around my shoulders, and their cousins.

Since it was an invitational Pow Wow, this family could be from anywhere in the US or Canada.

I took some of these pictures with the Armell's camera. This was one of many that I enjoyed editing.

This 74 year old veteran of two wars was a delightful companion.

Another very pleasant aging veteran.
