Bigfoot is real.
Bigfoot is not real.
Well, from what I read in the piece below, even scientific studies cannot adequately dispute that Bigfoot is simply a figment of a lot of imaginations.
You decide.
And, when you're finished, think of times you've argued a point and how you can go about proving that you're NOT wrong.
Did that chicken really cross the road to get to the other side, or was it actually just coming back home?

A message from a fellow educator and amazing man of music. Plus, his wife is pretty nice too.
She was a Ponderette at Sandpoint High School.
SMILE, Nancy. Your Kelly did well on this appeal.
Friends, I have one thing to say, and another thing to ask.
The work of being an online teacher last year brought me to my knees,
more times than I can count. I was teaching graduate level courses, all
online.
I loved being part of the university and my students were
amazing, but I struggled the whole time with the online aspect. It is an
entirely different pursuit than face-to-face instruction in the
classroom.
The pedagogy demands so much ingenuity, humility, and patience—especially
with yourself. It is hard, hard work.
And the technical aspects are
completely unforgiving: one small setting error and suddenly your
students can’t see the material you set out for them. That, all by
itself, is a tremendous challenge.
Any success I had last year is due,
in no small part, to the gracious students who stuck in there with me.
My “ask” is this: that we ALL partner together to support and protect
the thousands of teachers who are stepping up, and accepting the task of
changing EVERYTHING about their practice during this pandemic.
Switching to distance learning will be hard. For everyone.
We
need to walk alongside teachers into this new arena and encourage them.
We must applaud this heroic step they are taking. They are putting it
all on the line to keep kids learning, no matter what it takes.
This is
hero stuff.
This will be one of the greatest moments in history,
where so many teachers will literally change their whole practice
overnight.
In so doing, they will model that the path to success takes
risk, struggle, grit, grace. I hope we can all see and support that.
Please don’t let anybody talk smack about teachers in this tender time. Period. Let’s all be their champions.
Thanks.

Thanks, Kathy for reminding us of the constant needs at Bonner Community Food Bank.
21 hrs · · GOOD MORNING!! I
just spoke to Tammy at the Food Bank.
She said they are in need of non-perishable foods such as peanut butter, canned chicken and tuna, soups, beakfast cerea. Also, farm fresh eggs if anyone has extra!
Also, monetary donations are always welcome. Let's share our blessings. You've heard it before......WE ARE ALL IN THIS…

From our neighborhood veterinary hospital. . . .
To all our community members ~ in light of the current quarantine orders, CVVH will be making a few adjustments. We are still open, and will continue to see patients, dispense medications, and sell food during our new limited clinic hours of M-F, 9:30 am to 2:30 pm.
Please call ahead with your request so we can have
food and medications ready for pick up. Credit card payments can also be
completed over the phone, and are preferred in order to limit contact
as much as possible.
Please also stay in your car when you arrive at
the clinic; we will be checking the parking lot frequently, or you may
call the front desk when you arrive.
If you are coming to pick up
medications or food, we will bring it out to your car. If you have an
appointment or need to be seen, please wait until the lobby is clear, or
call the front desk when you arrive. We are doing our best to maintain
active veterinary services to our community while also exercising safety
practices and caution to protect our clients.
Thank you for your
patience and willingness to work with us through these difficult times;
we wish everyone and their families good health and safety!

Disclaimer: an "earthy" word in the following.
So, considered yourself warned.
Just like with Bigfoot, this COULD be true.
Made me chuckle!
Thanks, dear friend Ernie.
I
want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes.
You all know that I
don't usually put things on here but there is something I wanted to share.
I
had a doctor's appointment in Sandpoint last week. He helped to clear up
an issue that I thought might satisfy any questions you might have on
what the virus has to do with the toilet paper shortage.
He said that
every time someone coughs or sneezes ten people shit.
I hope this helps.
Officially, yesterday could count for No. 3 on the governor's "stay at home" order.
I stayed home all morning and into early afternoon.
After all, John Fuller was coming to trim horses' feet.
If grades were handed out for young horses' behavior while having their hooves trimmed, CB would have earned an A-plus.
I'm so proud of this young guy's behavior and am hoping that with the rest of his training he can keep up with his high standards.
When John left, I did a little house cleaning and then headed to town for groceries and painting supplies and shavings.
My stops included Yoke's, which was certainly calm and pleasant compared to the store's usual Friday afternoon crowd.
I found everything I needed but did not look for toilet paper.
Then, it was off to North 40 where blue lines on the floor during check-out help customers keep the desired distance.
I purchased spray paint for adding a little dress-up to numerous flower pots.
And, another bucket of white paint will be used to start the fence painting project which is one of the major projects of the year.
That will have to wait until our predicted rainy days ahead have passed.
At Wood's Hay and Grain, I purchased what are probably the last of needed shavings for this year. In the next few weeks, the doors on the side of the barn will go open, and horses can come and go as they please.
Bill and I also left home last night for a different kind of Friday night dinner. We drove to Serva-Burger and then to the pier north of the Edgewater and City Beach.
Twas eerie, to say the least: a Friday night in Sandpoint with empty streets and parking lots.
We had the pier all to ourselves until my sisters came along and parked beside us with their take-out dinner.
Even from pickup to pickup, it was nice to visit in person.
We all adjust.
Strange, silent times.
It's gonna take some getting used to, for sure.
Happy Saturday.
Enjoy the photos.
