But don't let that stop people from coming down Thursday morning at 8:30 - big doings with the Special Olympics Torch entering Idaho - the Final Leg - on the way to the games in Boise and surrounding areas. One outdoor brief ceremony with great visuals at 3rd St. Dock and another indoor one at the library just a few minutes later to send the relay crews off strongly. Truly a once in a lifetime sort of event in Coeur d'Alene - we'll have Idaho's First Lady Lori Otter there, too/Councilman MikeK. Full comment below.

I couldn't believe how fast the weather turned from cold and snowy to icy sleety whatever (those are technical terms). I was downtown and meeting outside with the folks from the Special Olympics World Games Torch Run and it was bitter cold being right there next to the lake.
