You and Mom Vinson can have ours! If it doesn't stop soon we are
going to be cut off from the rest of the world again. Here in
Lewiston there's a hillside giving way -- moving a foot an hour or so
-- that has the Elks Lodge on top. I don't particularly care about
the Elks Lodge but the slide is already blocking a highway. In fact,
in every direction out of Lewiston there is tremendous slide danger.
It's been raining here for days -- we had 1/2 a day yesterday without
rain and kept wondering what was wrong.
We in Lewiston are in better shape than a lot of places in the state.
Last year Idaho had a very large number of slides -- some villages
were cut off from the world for a couple of weeks -- that cost a heck
of a lot of money to repair. I figure if this rain doesn't start
soon we'll be looking at a tax increase just to repair that
north-south wagon track they call a highway -- the only highway
linking north and south Idaho.
