Two Pictures Tell the Story of Incinerated Idaho
My buddy, Mike McFadyen, has a ranch in Camas County. He had clear skies yesterday but woke up this morning to some serious haze. Smokey skies aren’t unusual; in Idaho and the western states. It’s not unusual to see big fires drift smoke from west to east across the continent, but Mike lives more than 140 miles due south of Stanley, the epicenter of the Wapiti Fire. Either winds are blowing from the north straight south, or the smoke is now so thick in the air that it’s spreading in every direction. Far and wide. Mike’s before and after pictures are above.

Netflix Takes Underhanded Shot At Idaho In New Blockbuster
Netflix is truly an amazing company. When it started in 1997, they changed how some people rented movies. Instead of going to a Blockbuster or Family Video, you could order your movies online, and they would send them to you via mail. After watching them, you'd simply return them in the mail and order your next film. They did this without late fees and the hassle of movies not being in stock. This was especially great for Idahoans in rural areas where video stores were sometimes over an hour away. Who wants to make that kind of drive in the snow for one movie? Who wants to make that drive in good weather for one movie? Not me!
