  1. We head back tomorrow from Boise. Good trip to Yellowstone. Crowds were hit and miss. Big tourist spots large crowds.

    Favorite spots:
    Lamar Valley
    Artist Paint Pots

    I've always thought it odd, but also kind of cool, that the military actively supports musicians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_bands

    If you didn't know, it's not just kinda talented people they pull from the ranks, they actively recruit formally trained musicians for the Marine Band and various other ensembles. And most of the bands are "mission-exclusive," meaning they don't have other military duties.  It's a lot of  aspiring professional musicians' first or only paying gig.

    I did not know, however, that the Army maintained a boy band.

    Weird.

    I have seen the Air Force Band of the West a couple of times. Well worth it. Don't knock them until you have seen them

    Nice and close to Boise St. Hopefully thing will be opening back up again around that time as we are shutting some things back down on Wednesday.

    I assume breweries are considered bars in Idaho.

    Pence knows he’s gone - right?  Trump relates everything to TV - so he’s going to look to ‘shake things up’. He can go one of two ways with this:

    1.  Dump Pence

    2.  Adopt a precocious little African American child. 

    He could do both adding Gaetz to the ticket

    Maybe, but what the fake tix sales did was completely fool the Trump campaign. Had the campaign been able to the predict the actual attendance, they would have taken steps to mitigate the optics. They would not have set up an overflow stage. They would have closed off the balcony for security reasons. They might have even restricted the capacity, claiming it was needed to reduce outbreak concerns. Instead they ran full speed into this embarrassment.

    And it burned through some cash...

  7. We booked our trip for Boise/Yellowstone for the end of July. Three days in Yellowstone and three in Boise. We got an Airbnb in Emigrant, MT. I see recs for the south end and west end. Anything to do in Gardiner?

    President Camacho was actually a very good President. 
     

    But I would still argue that W was a worse head of government, simply based on the body count and the damage to the Stability of the world. The Iraq war is our Boer War. 

    So the Crimean War is our Vietnam?
