Winter-themed window art at the Mac Store, downtown Boise. "Bogus" in this panel refers to our local winter recreation resort, Bogus Basin, which is 16 miles up the mountain. The forecast calls for a chance of snow tonight.
The sticker on the playing card says "Beware of the Bump." I don't know what that means, but Flying Pie regulars know that the giant playing card is your table marker after you order your pie.
With temperatures around 60 degrees the last couple of days, I've seen lots of motorcycles on the road. This cycle deserves a closer look, though. Is that really a seat?
This turkey was standing on the corner near Centennial High School over the weekend. It was an Eagle Scout food donation project. They set up donation bins in the school parking lot and put plastic bags on all the doors in the surrounding area, asking us to fill them and drop them off.
I don't ever remember this "tavern" being open, or hearing anyone talk about it. But it does remind me that I own a wooden nickel, that someone gave to me when I was a kid and I thought it was cool. It has a Native American profile on it.
A lot to see here. This is the "decor" at Pie Hole pizza on 8th Street, downtown Boise. They sell pizza-by-the-slice, and it gets a glowing review from my 8-year old. I'm glad she was focused on the pizza when we were there, because some of decor is offensive, yikes, even the name of the place!
Those working the fields have to go somewhere. These modern outhouses are more apparent now that the harvest is over.
Not exactly a welcome neighbor, this giant wasp condo project became visible after the shedding of the leaves from my neighbor's maple tree. Do the wasps hide inside for the winter? I know someone once told me wasps have a positive role to play in nature....but I never remember what it is.
Election Day meant voting for City Council candidates in Boise yesterday. There were three seats to fill and the ballot was a "bubble" ballot - where you "completely" fill in the little circles, just like a standardized test. And since my precinct is in a school, it made sense.
A relic of a sign on Broadway Avenue near Boise State University. It's now the Suds Tavern, I think, and someone once told me in between between being "Crooked" and "Suds" it was a small grocery store.
