This afternoon we were coming down Beauty Creek road and encountered a couple of guys that had their targets pinned to the large beautiful cedar trees and were blasting away. Anyone who has driven up that road know the tranquil beauty (hence the name) and old growth cedars that line the creek. I don't know if it was out of ignorance or sheer willful maliciousness.

Didn't know who to call to report this and I wasn't about to stop and talk to obviously clueless guys with semi-automatics. Really sad. Maybe the Forest Service needs to put up signs but certain things people should just know out of common sense.

I am going to be in Spokane for the USA Karate national tournament in a few weeks (coach, not competitor). I notice Coeur d’Alene is about 30-45 minutes away. Looks like I will have a free afternoon/evening and wanted visit there.

Question:

1. Is there a shuttle or train one can take or should I rent a car? Any guesses what an Uber/Lyft might cost?

2. Is there a nice area with shops and restaurants to visit that you can recommend?

3. Any “must see” for someone with a limited window (and budget)?

Thank you!

Team USA is moving forward in the World Cup and playing Belgium on July 6th!! I want to watch that game with a crowd. Do you guys know of any establishments hosting watch parties in the area?? Thanks!

I live in the area known for elevated radon and during home inspection it was confirmed elevated radon levels, I have several estimators lined up in next 2 weeks starting with one tomorrow morning. I just started researching this topic so I am not fully educated yet. What would you suggest to ask estimators to ensure it is good system. I just learned that membrane is usually 6mm and 10mm optional upgrade and even maybe fiber reinforced membrane, fans can be normal AC or EC variable speed and power savings with EC are real advantage what are optional upgrades vs standard basic system. I heard encapsulation for conditioned crawl space is extra. For reference it’s 2 stories house with attached garage 2800sf verbally quotes start in 2100-2300$ for standard package not counting extras. I thought it would be cool if system can be self tuned based on continuous monitoring like if radon high then fan full speed vs if it’s low radon fan slowing down but apparently it is not an option for residential systems, do I need one fan with multiple intake pipes or 2 fans etc. please share your thoughts on this topic and if any extras with doing or it’s money waisted

My wife and her friends are absolutely mortified when I admitted that I have taken several bowel movements in the lake. You're out swimming or on a boat for a few hours, what are you going to do? Hold it in and be uncomfortable and just not enjoy life? Or do you tread water and just let her rip as mother nature intended? It's not like this is someone's pool, their property that they own. No this is all our lake, and we should all be able to comfortably go number 2 without worrying about being prim and proper. America.

Edit: To clarify this is while you're already on/in the lake. If you're on the beach then yes, go in the restroom/woods.

31 f, need recs for a trainer for weight lifting for form and strength. I'm rusty

Maybe this is a dumb question, but every cleaning company seems to use different definitions. One place says deep cleaning includes baseboards, vents and blinds. Another says some of that is extra. Another calls it a first-time clean.

I've been trying to figure out what people actually mean when they say "deep clean" and honestly I'm more confused now than when I started looking. For homeowners around Idaho, what do you personally expect to be included?

Is anyone surprised the Bela Kovacs isn't going quietly? He's still trying to claim Allyson Knapp isn't a resident of Idaho, despite being proven wrong in January.

Why are the republicans always accusing others of the things they've done? Did they already forget about KCRCC "rated and vetted" NIC trustee Michael Barnes, who was claiming residency in South Dakota for "tax reasons"? Or that KCRCC either didn't know or forgot to mention Kovacs had the same performance issues when he was in Spokane?

I'm pinching pennies, and have to go to the courthouse soon, I think I can find a ride down (I'm up north), and a ride back up the next day.

My question is, is there somewhere I can walk to from the courthouse to hang a hammock overnight? I don't mind a distance, I'll probably have a small (well behaved) dog with me.

I used to know CDA like the back of my hand but that was forever ago, things have changed.

I'm visiting cda for 4 days in mid July and would like a tattoo. Its probably just a couple of hours of work as its a small piece. Could anybody recommend a place?

Any recommendations. I'm about half way between CDA and Kellogg.
