She's the youngest member of the Emerald Empire Arabian youth club, and she is very proud of her beautiful buckle.
Aurora, along with other youth and adult members, received belt buckles yesterday for their participation in various projects associated with the area Arabian horse club during the calendar year of 2025.
Aurora was so proud that when her great Aunt Mary arrived at yesterday's first-of-the-year club meeting at MickDuffs, she quietly walked over to show off her buckle.
I have a feeling that this may not be the last trophy buckle for Aurora or the other recipients.
I'm not a big meeting goer, but since it's the "Year of the Horse," I thought it was important to attend.
This year, the club, which promotes the Arabian breed and sponsors youth programs will be offering some clinics and their third annual September Showcase Horse Show at the Bonner County Fairgrounds Sept. 18-20.

They include sisters Laurie and Barbara, brother Kevin (from Frenchtown, Mont.), and myself.
Think 2126!!!
What would you want those who open a time capsule to know?
How do you think life will be different at the time?
I listened to an AI expert suggest in an interview the other day that there could be a time when nobody works.
He suggested that women without college educations may be the first to feel the invasion of AI into the work force, i.e., clerical and office jobs may go first.
Is this far-fetched, or do you see it happening?
I try to imagine a world where most people don't work. If that happens, what activities will replace work and how will we sustain ourselves?
Below: a story about a neat and very timely local project, which invites participation.
Lots of ice around these days.
I took my Yak Trax off for maybe two days this past week.
They are back on my boots, probably to stay for a few more weeks of winter.
Looks like we may get some snow off and on this week, and then maybe we can think spring again.
Speaking of snow and wet stuff, the Bonner County Daily Bee featured an article this morning about a group study which has shown that our area economy loses millions of dollars because of the inconsistency of lake levels.

Sounds like a political hot potato to consider.
I'm not sure if it's just me or if my memory is actually correct, but I don't remember, in my childhood or during most of my adult years Sand Creek, where it runs through the community, being a mud flat for several months each year.
Maybe it's just my muddy memory.
The University of Idaho researchers who did the study strongly suggest lengthening the tourist season by keeping the lake level up for two months longer each year.
I think that's a excellent idea, both esthetically and economically.
I wonder if we'll have $^$@##$ passwords to remember in 2126.
Happy Sunday.
