Three Beautiful Things 07/26/07: Golden, Scholars, Slot Variety

1. The wheat is ripe, like a rolling lion's mane, on the drive between Worley and Moscow. Gorgeous, especially with the staid Palouse pines watching over it. I loved my drive from Kellogg to Moscow this morning.

2. A researcher, Richard Benjamin, met with my long-time friend, Kenton Bird, and two other U of Idaho professors to talk about Silver Valley. The three professors are pros when it comes to North Idaho. I'm an amateur. But I loved being asked to be a part of this discussion and I learned a great deal about how North Idaho is perceived by a scholar, Dr. Benjamin, who is from the eastern U.S.A.. and by the other scholars at the table.

3. I made a little money go a long way at the Cd'A Casino on my way back to Kellogg and did what I love to do: won enough money to play a long time and on a wide variety of machines. This was a great day!
