Home again, home

   Again, jiggedy jig.  Another driving day.  We were going to take a couple of small side drives today, but the driving was easy and we came straight home.  --  With a stop in Hood River for dinner --
   This morning in Twin Falls we could have stopped at an info center and seen Evel Knievel's jet-powered motorcycle that he used in his failed attempt to jump the Snake River canyon.  The info center was on the wrong side of the road and it didn't seem worth the trouble (it was a 4-lane street).  From a canyon viewing platform, however, we could see the dirt ramp he built for his attempt.  I think he got what he really wanted:  someone talking about him 30 years later. 
   Also in Twin Falls:  a cemetary of dead combines.  About 30 of them in a row, rusting away.  I enjoy them more perched on a hill-top.
   Just west of Twin Falls are sited -- just next to the freeway -- four or five huge feed-lots.  Perhaps it's a multiplying effect but they seem to smell more fetid than other feed-lots we've driven past.
   Finally, we're going to keep this blog going -- Probably with just one entry a week (Sun. P.M.) -- just so we can keep the title "danddontheroad".  DA
