boise bike share

what’s up with that?

More directly what’s up the Director of it getting paid full-time salary while not a whole lot is transpiring about the program. It’s even going in the negative direction. They’re hiring for a maintenance person when the bikes are not even here yet… sounds like a lot of sitting around playing pinochle.

I predict, it’s gonna be a bad roll-out.

Uber is a solution to a nonexistant problem.

I have also heard from people who follow horse racing that it will not survive without the slot machines, at a loss of about 400 jobs.

Can’t imaging St. Luke’s didn’t get their way. It’s just a street for gosh sake. We should all bend over and be grateful they chose us to get a freebee from! Expect an overrule by higher-ups on this one.

St. Luke’s and St Als need to be broken up into about 50 small practices, none of which can blow a huge chunk of their expenses on slick advertising and fancy helicopters.

Any one that thinks that “instant racing” is not slot machines needs to go down to the track and take look.

On KBOI this morning we were told by Paul J.. (who happens to be Chairman of the Idaho racing commission) that horse racing would not survive 1 year without instant racing.

I guess if they let want instant racing to save the race track… why not the reopen the Old Stage Coach bar and grill. I loved going to the Stage Coach. And I think it could survive if we put slot machines in it.

Idaho City passed a vote last fall to OK low stakes gaming to help the town survive….. Where is it going to end.

Oh and some of us old Idaho folks remember the days when we were told the lottery would solve all of the problems with our school.
