Blackfoot, Idaho revisited



Each time we go on a little trip to Idaho and travel through Blackfoot, I always mention to Wayne that it is the quirkiest town I have even been through. Remember this?



We were there again last week and because we have been there a few times I really wasn't looking for anything new but as we were driving around, waiting for an appointment I saw this box in a yard. I thought it was a utility box like we all have in our yards. Now, I have one and HATE it. The guys who installed it didn't bother to make sure it was at all level or even parallel to the sidewalk (and I am known to like things in order), so it bothers me every time I look at it.
Wayne says this one has something to do with water, but I think I may have to borrow the idea and paint mine. Do I have to check with the city first?


This is the thing that really made me laugh this time. We ate at a little Mexican restaurant
in Blackfoot. Afterwards, as I used the ladies room and as I....um....washed my hands....there on the wall, right next to the toilet, was a large mural of the virgin Mary. What a treat! As you do your duty, you now have the Mother of Christ looking down on you. I'll leave it at that.
