Can someone tell me why it is not against the law to pass a vehicle on the Long Bridge when the lanes in the center of the bridge are divided by a broken yellow line and not a solid double lines as it is now on either end of the Long Bridge? This has to be an error on someone’s part. It should be a solid double lines all the way across the Long Bridge not just at either end. Currently this is way too dangerous as some clown passed a slower vehicle in the center of the bridge going toward Sandpoint and damn near hit me while I was going the other way towards Sagle.

Clearly, the media would prefer to focus on thugs and celebrities, a bickering Congress and ignore Captain Freeman’s death on Wednesday.

Stuffing is not just for turkeys, veggies
Stuffing, Dressing, Filling — every part of the United States has their own name for the savory mixture most often used to augment the holiday turkey.

Are you a turkey or are you an eagle?
November is the month we celebrate Thanksgiving, which typically revolves around a traditional turkey dinner. So I can’t help but ask, are you a turkey or an eagle? While a turkey and an eagle are both birds, there is a lot difference between the two. Turkeys can fly, but prefer to walk. Eagles can walk but mostly fly…and when they fly, they soar! Turkey when used as an adjective is an insult. Eagle when used as an adjective is a complement. Turkeys eat dirt and rocks (Really, it helps their digestion!). EAGLES, on the other hand consume only protein.
