Misconstrued Thoughts : Yesterday's Misconstrued Thoughts Today: Everything you never needed to know about Idaho (and a little about burgers)

Ah... to explore. It is one of the great things in life.

I was able to see where Evil Canival tried to jump the snake river and failed. (Now that I have seen it in person, i for sure know how crazy he was). But in his honor, on the bridge in front of the proposed jump location, people were still free base jumping. I watched a guy packing his parachutte, preparing for his second jump (or chance to die) today.

I also visited Craters of the Moon, NASA once this would be similar to the terrain of the moon. Therefore early astronauts visited this park to learn what to expect of maritan geology.

Finally I visited Arco, where I ate an atomic burger at pickle's in the first city to be lighted by nuclear energy. Idaho has more nuclear plants than anywhere in the world. (I believe the key is Idaho is a whole lot of nothing... so if something goes wrong; well, like 15 familys will get fried and have to move after the fallout).

Oh and another exciting moment:

They were serving Hot Hamburgers in this little Cafe. I've not seen them since I was in Eastern Canada. For those confused, a hot hamburger is a piece of bread, then the burger, then peas, then brown gravy.

Seems more than candians like it: Candians and Idohnians.

I agree, Idaho is a strange place, it has some of the coolest scenery (Sawtooth wilderness, Sun Valley), and some of the ugliest (southwestern Idaho, where it is plateaus of sagebrush, or southeastern Idaho, where it seems to be nothing but potato farms for miles--which look like fields of dirt). Craters of the moon is cool, I don't recommend spending the night there in a tent though, the rocks aren't conducive to a good night's sleep, I think my back still hurts from it.

So have you tried a hot hamburger? I remember seeing those in canada. The sight alone turned my stomach. I can only imagine what it actually does to your stomach after eating one.

Let me just say that hot hamburgers are somethin special. And let me also just say that they do nothing to your stomach after eating one...well maybe turn it a bit, but nothing compaired to what pig skin and coke and peanuts does to your tummy. :P

"Hot Hamburbers"??? hmm...I've never heard of before

Although.. i tend to think that the whole
idea of ANY kind of hamburger is altogether revolting, disturbing and completly in violation of the natural order
..but that's just me ;o)
