Feeling good about what you buy

I saw an opinion piece recently regarding sports. The gist of the opinion was it is tough to cheer for a team when they decide to employ someone who is far less than likable. I agree. Whether it is sports, a business or the wine you drink we all want to feel good about whom we are supporting with each of our hard earned dollars. The old adage “people do business with people they like” extends to all things including sports and wine.

PRIDE: Event doesn’t represent Coeur d’Alene

Five years ago, we decided to move from our beautiful home overlooking the Oregon coast to the Coeur d’Alene area. One reason was political as North Idaho had the reputation of supporting conservative values, our values. After a couple of visits, we purchased a home in Rathdrum. When entering the state on I-90, the sign seemed not only to say Welcome to Idaho but welcome to the USA.

Bonner County exposed as a bastion of ignorance

I was shocked to see Sandpoint, Idaho, as a lead article in The New York Times today. This usually hasn’t been a good experience. This time is no different. Bonner County is once again exposed as a bastion of ignorance led by a buffoon for sheriff and the village idiot for a state representative. A casual reader of the article referenced would be within their rights to conclude that North Idaho is a place populated by raging lunatics. The sad part is these folks are imported Californians not native Idahoans!
