Found just off I-84 in Caldwell, Idaho—
This might have to go has already gone to Colbert.
Caldwell is described in my motel’s guest directory as “a desert brought to bloom by the wonders of irrigation.” That may be true, but “making statism unpopular” sounds like somebody’s idea of Caldwell’s claim to fame.
Last time I drove through Caldwell I got my first speeding ticket in fifteen years, so it’s not my favorite place. But I was born in Idaho, folks, not too far from Caldwell, in Nampa. And I know many fine people who live in Idaho, including my separated-at-birth/sister-from-another-mother, Kim, and my Ravelry bud, hunterjen. As well as my Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Larry over in Meridian.
So I’m not ready to write Idaho off, completely.
And Caldwell does have a winery or two.
That said, the folks who hang out in this little corner of Caldwell don’t appear to be wine drinkers, as evidenced by what I found near the sign–
And that sign is completely fucked up.

Idiots. Gotta go slap the Obama sticker on the Subaru now.

He thought he was so witty, made him sound like a doof.

Maybe the bottle is a little bit of Caldwell recycling?

On a lighter note, I’ve spun and recently dyed wool with Kim - and she taught me to Navajo ply!! She is a delight

I am guessing by the comments that this blog and followers are Socialists and will be voting for higher taxes, higher gas prices, more unemployment, dependence on foreign oil, sanctuary cities, more criminals on the streets….you get the idea.

Sanctuary cities?
