OK, yesterday was a travel day. We made the trek from Tacoma to Kellogg to return from our Christmas adventures. The roads were actually not bad, until after 350+ miles and 2 major mountain passes when we hit Cataldo, Idaho. The last 20 miles of the journey were the most treacherous! So I figured I would post a quick few lines about snow. All of this wonderful white stuff brings back some great memories for me. We loved playing in the snow. It always amuses me when people have such negative feelings for snow, when they live in North Idaho! Granted, it sometimes makes travel difficult, and I know it makes it tougher for people to get out and about. In fact, I know of people who even recently have had close brushes with slippery road conditions due to snow. But given all that it brings, I still love it when it piles up! Today we celebrated "Christmas II" at my parents' house. The snow made it even more fun! It was a magnificent day. And as I type, the snow is still coming d...

Well, I hope this doesn't become a regular occurrence. We were placed in "lockdown" again due to a high speed pursuit that started in Hayden, ID and progressed to Kellogg. Details can be found here at KXLY from Spokane. The following picture is actually at the Division/Kellogg Ave intersection. Apparently shots were fired (yikes). What is happening to tiny Kellogg?

We experienced some excitement today in K-Town. An announcement broadcasted over the intercom at KMS (where my office is) stated that we were to go into "Lock Down" status immediately. We have routine Lock Down and Fire drills regularly, so I figured it was just another drill. However, this time the signal pattern of bell rings didn't accompany the announcement. As we locked ourselves in our office, a short time later we were told that the lock down was indeed real due to a bank robbery at the Kellogg Wells Fargo Bank uptown. It was quite surreal and lasted a little over an hour. Below is a picture taken during the robber by the bank's camera and a link to the story. Kellogg Bank Robbery - KHQ
