getting prayer in the schools Under great duress including the threat of no lunch until I gave in, I walked through a local crafts show in Hayden, Idaho yesterday afternoon. The displays were in a little town park between the city parking lot and town hall. I spotted a large engraved stone, a few feet from the town hall, and walked over to read it. I was both shocked and amazed to see the Ten Commandments engraved on that piece of granite...I mean this rock is on city propery, in full view of City Hall, park visitors, the parking lot and the nearby public school. This is America right. I thought this was banned. Then I got to thinking. I bet there is neither a liberal lawyer nor a liberal judge with cajones big enough to tell the residents of this Northern Idaho town that they cannot have the Ten Commandments anywhere they want. uw

I missed the main event...but we did drive to Wallace last Monday to see the center of the universe. I even got to stand on the center of the marker marking the center of the universe. Following that, I walked two blocks to the bordello museum which unfortunately was closed. I was hoping to send some of the heavily engraved bordello coins to select politicians as Christmas gifts. The engraving clearly indicates they are "good for one screw". Friday, Sept. 24, features a full day of presentations at the Coeur d'Alene Inn. Saturday, Sept. 25 includes a motorcoach and walking tour of the Silver Valley of northern Idaho and the Silver Capital of the World, Wallace, Idaho where at precisely 9 p.m. Pacific Time city fathers will dedicate a new sewer manhole cover marking the "Probabilistic Center of the Universe" amidst searchlights, revelry and marching bands. Over 400 people have registered to attend. uk.us.biz.yahoo.com
