Didn't get far down the road today. The snowstorm in the AM had been canceling the day's drive. I retooled for a day of work in Boise, which turned out to be productive.
Last night watched the big game at Jumpin' Janets on Vista, on the hill south of the river. I met the owner's son and his girlfriend when they were at the bar of Bonefish Grill a couple nights back.
It was a splendid Boise dive bar. Most people stood up during the national anthem, which was mind-blowing this year. Probably the best rendition ever at a Super Bowl. The bartender (a fiftyish woman) yelled at folks to take off their hats, but some guys at a nearby table talked through it and no one cared.
I walked all the way there from the hotel. On the way I detoured to tour the display cases in the main waiting room of the Boise Depot, the old UP station at the crown of the bluff overlooking the river and downtown. Capitol Street goes from there down to the statehouse, which looks small and rather inconsequential compared to the rooklike tower of the depot.
