They Never Saw It ComingBy John M. LarsenOne day in 1969, I was driving down State Street in Boise, heading for my home on O’Farrell Street, when an emergency vehicle sounded a warning as it came up behind me. I pulled over, the truck went by, and it turned on 5th Street. I followed it, and soon came upon a Cessna 210 D that had smashed into the street. The airplane’s twenty-foot-long fuselage had been squashed to about six feet long when the plane dove straight down into the pavement.

What a BoonStory by and Photos Courtesy of John BeckwithI read a news article last year that proclaimed the old YMCA building in Kellogg was in such poor condition it could not be salvaged. A photo showed the cracked roof beams. This brought back memories of the building flourishing with activities, the strong support from the community, the special features of the mining area, and the beauty of northern Idaho. I realized the structure was very old, just as I am.

And Spirals EverywhereBy Les TannerCome on, big guy,” I urged my faithful but laboring vehicle, “you can do it.”I’m not sure, but I thought I heard a sigh. As much as I liked and trusted my ‘89 SUV, it just didn’t have what it took anymore to go up White Bird grade without a struggle, which was getting to be embarrassing. We were passed as though we were standing still. Once again I stomped on the gas pedal. Once again came the sigh.

Bad Luck and TroubleRanching in the DepressionBy Diana HooleyWinter is here and the world seems full of problems, or maybe it’s just that I have a touch of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). What I need is a case of better attitude days (BAD). I need to see the glass as half full—or at least calorie-free. Sometimes getting out of the doldrums takes little more than recognizing all your blessings and that there are those among us who’ve lived through so much worse.

Zero Practice in Running AwayBy Sarah DayWe were about fifty cars behind the accident. Traffic stopped and police rushed past. Smoke clouds billowed ahead but we couldn’t tell what had happened. My husband James and I had left the family cabin in Island Park after our Christmas celebration last December and were on our way home to Nampa when we came upon the scene on Interstate 15 near Shelley. A black pickup in front of us pulled off the road and a middle-aged man got out.
