One of the unselfish actions by our dancers showed up in Boise. When Janice Epperson, started not feeling well late Saturday evening just before the start of the Light Parade, Pat Reed came to the rescue, taking her first to a first aid station, then accompanying her to the hospital where a couple of units of IV fluids were administered. Pat missed out on the parade, but did a great job of insuring Janice was promptly and correctly taken care of. Pat later accompanied her to our motel to make sure she got there OK. Great Job Pat!!!!

Since we stayed over an extra day, on Monday we decided to hit the Roaring River Water Park and while we didn't get the group rate you'all did on Friday, we did get our own share of sunburn!

While there--if you wish a story of "Wow"--I was wearing my expensive Nike sunglasses (dumb, I know) without a chain or cord to keep them on my head. I tried to get on one of those fat tire tubes in the Endless River, got flipped and there went the glasses! Not realizing it at first, went a little down the river, then, oh no, they are gone!

I actually walked against the current nearly all the way around it (great form of exercise, especially after a parade!), while Debra went with the current, hoping against hope to find them. No luck. Checked with a lifeguard and the guy said, "You know, nearly 90% of all things lost here get turned into Lost and Found." I thought, "Oh sure." Hey, but this was Idaho country, what did I know. Checked lost and found, no glasses. Kinda spoiled next hour with looking and hoping and burning.

We got ready to leave after having conquered all the rides and thought I would give lost and found one more try. Well, blow me away, there they were!! Some kid found them in the River and turned them into a guard and voila! I have them back. Hard to believe, but true......

This story is truly in keeping with Comeau's Commandment ("What happens on the road, STAYS on the road").

During parades, as a courtesy to those geeks in the rows behind us, we always warn them about road hazards. Usually these hazards are restricted to horse droppings. Amazingly, I saw none of this in the Boise parade. My first road hazard was a yellow speed bump. OK, that was a bit strange. But the next road hazard was also a first--road kill. I warned the next group behind me about the road kill (a very flat, dead squirrel--eeewww). As you can see, this is a very apt application of Comeau's Commandment.
