CDDave writes of day's gone by when chamber types tried to lure visitors with postcards like the one above and of trying to get around in downtown Coeur d'Alene this Coeur d'Alene Ironman week here.

*Stebbijo Unzipped isn't surprised by the charges of corruption being leveled at the Bonner County Sheriff's Office by former deputies here.

*No sooner than UBob announces his triumphant return from Little Rock, Ark., he's being forced to leave again ... by carpet needs, of all things, here.

*ErinG uses MySpace.com to reconnect at City Park with an old friend she hasn't seen in seven years here.

*Nicholas Casey/Rants & Raves has some cool photos and commentary about Denver International Airport, which he calls correctly "architecturally beautiful, a stunning and efficient feat of engineering" here.

*Toad breaks from regular program to provide a video of Junior's kindergarten graduation here (click on photos).

Meanwhile, Mari's being overrun by killdeer here, Cis sez no one told her to eat fruit and vegies when she was a kid here, and Marianne celebrates Kiwi's first birthday here.
