One of my favorite success stories in Boise is Motive Power. This is a WabTec company that has come a long ways from the old MK rail days. I’m lucky enough to get to work with this great group so I knew that a locomotive would be parked by the depot tonight.
This beautiful UTA # 8 was built by from the rails up at MP in Boise. If you get a chance, swing by the depot and take a look at what the neighbors out off of Federal Way are up to.

The DBA has a new slogan.
“Boise 20 years in the making.”
Twenty Years? Must be a shock to the soldiers, merchants, politicians and residents that came before 1987. Apparently the D.B.A. believes that only they have “made†Boise and in only a couple of decades.
It is just this sort of myopic thinking that has brought us Steamy Cracks, gaping holes and orchid winning zero set-back brick BODO monstrosities.
Next? How about a glut load of condos and no buyers.

Been getting a bunch of e-mails asking me to lobby congress to have the gas companies stop “Gouging†us with “high†gas prices. As long time readers of Boisee.com know this is a pet peeve of mine. Here was my response to one e-mail.
In real inflation dollars gas costs about what it did in the 60’s!
Remember the 60’s? When a Cadillac cost way under $10,000.00. A gallon
of bottled water, or ice cream now cost more than gas by the gallon. In the
old days, water was free and ice cream was a nickel a scoop. Those
evil water sellers should be STOPPED.
Wouldn’t it be easier to stand up to our government. They profit the
most from gas prices. In most states, Idaho included-at least SEVENTY
FIVE CENTS of your gas price is TAX. Guess that isn’t as politically
correct as bashing business! Â As John Stosel says . . .Give me a
break!
