He is truly an awful person. We don't miss him in Boise, but at the same time, I hate to see him become a larger problem on a bigger stage elsewhere.

A friend of mine sent me these photos of a raid they're witnessing in Wilder, ID. They said "Helicopters, paramilitary vehicles, and likely over a hundred officers are on site of a horse racing facility. Dogs searching cornfields and surrounding property."

Not sure what is happening with my phone, but it's not loading the pictures if I have alt-text on them. Wondering if my phone needs an update.

These squash blossom crepes were made with pumpkin blossoms. Zucchini blossoms work great too. Throughout the summer you can use some of the male blossoms so female blossoms still set fruit. End of season, use all blossoms before the wilt in the frost. These smell amazing, and taste delicious.

Made one of my favorite things this morning, squash blossom pancakes/crepes. My grandma made us these seasonal treats.
Wash blossoms, cut out stigma/stamen, lay flat between towels & pat dry, dip in crepe batter, arrange in pan on low, poor more batter to cover. Serve w/butter &/or maple syrup.

Click on the pic, a panorama I took from the statehouse steps in Boise, Idaho on #NoKings. It was a gorgeous, joyful day, standing united in support of democracy.

Here's an issue from the Purdue Univ. student paper, The Exponent, dealing with the IU censorship of their student paper. Purdue put it in IU news boxes. (Purdue & IU are normally huge sports rivals.)
