Lost in Idaho

Had a work related trip to Boise.
Got to see all the weather types while I was there.
The inversion (Cloudy), where the valley is colder than above the cloud bank that covers Boise.
The crystal clear day, that offered great views and 1/4" layer of ice on the car windows that had to scrapped before hitting the roads.
Snow, not much but enough to cover the ground.
Slush, okay it was raining with a hint of snow, just wasn't warm or cold enough for one to be dominant.
The traffic is unreal in Boise, I think it last about an half hour and nobody gets road rage (except me)
All the people were friendly, and most of the dining selections were okay, except for the one that will remain anonymous. Hint, stay away from the mall dining establishments.
Hopefully I get a few trips back when the weather warms, I would like to do some exploring in the mountains and maybe even fish the local rivers. Yeah they brag about the fishing, so that is incentive enough to go back. Oh yeah,while in Dallas a few weeks back, not one air cooled vehicle was spotted, but in Boise them Bugs were all over. Hey the heaters do work pretty good in the bugs. : )
If you ever get out to Boise and want to hear some great music, try to find where the band "The Whistle Pigs " are playing, it will definitely be a good time.
Phrase for the trip " What kind of table did you buy? A round one"
