I mentioned in a previous post that we’re witnessing how public agencies can use the Idaho public records law like a hammer, with its provisions that allow for fees to be assesed on requests that take more than a couple of hours to process. You can read my previous post here In that instance, the state agency [...]

Moore, a 6-1, 175 pound guard, played one season at Brewster Academy after graduating from Seattle’s Rainier Beach High School in 2008. In his senior season, Moore averaged 13 points and 10 assists per game [...]

As Idaho’s oldest blogger, a title bestowed on me last summer by co-workers when I started this site, I suffered a few technical setbacks. One was trying to figure out how to respond to reader comments which at best, was hit and miss. I am happy to report however, that spending some time last week [...]

I found this on the AP wire. Hopefully it won’t happen to us, but it’s an interesting story. AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas officials on Wednesday postponed all public high school athletic and academic competitions until May 11 because of the swine flu outbreak.

Tim and I have added a few fabulous from-scratch recipes to our repertoire in recent years — ice cream is probably the best. I’m not sure if homemade ice cream is just a treat, or economical, too.

I’m usually better at simply letting things go, but the Moscow council’s decision to increase charges on public records requests that it considers large is more than a little troublesome. It’s about the public’s right to access information on its government, and councilmembers should have thought a bit more before they dropped a fee that [...]

I apologize to readers if I’m not coming up with more “seasonal” type recipes appropriate for ushering in May. But as long as it stays as cold and rainy as it has been the past week, I just can’t think of anything other than a hot bowl of soup to warm the innards. Feeling a bit [...]

As readers know, Log Cabin® syrup has been one of my favorite products since I was a kid and loved to play with the cabin shaped tins it used to come in. A recent press release from Log Cabin announced the reformulation of its syrup line, by replacing High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) with natural sugar. I [...]

We’re back! The Roberts family survived our four-day trip to western Washington tired but happy. And we’re not out too much money, either. Admittedly, we’re not quite to the stage where family vacations cost a lot. Henry is only 3 months old, so we don’t spend a penny on snacks or entertainment for him. We also were [...]

By now the name Susan Boyle probably at least has a familiar ring to it, unless you’ve been living under a rock. The frumpy, 47-year-old Brit wowed fans and judges (including American Idol’s Simon Cowell) on “Britain’s Got Talent” with her rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream.” I was as impressed as everyone else by her [...]
