This post discusses illness and medical practice in the Philippines. I have three health things that I’ve been juggling on this trip, food borne illness, a lousy cold, and some wonderful tropical “crud” that has attacked my skin. Today I finally got the “all clear” from the doctor; no pneumonia. My cold is getting better…

Review: Palermo Restaurant
Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

Before getting to the results, I need to recount the Stolley campaign’s last round of dirty politics. Last Sunday (05/19/24), Travis Stolley’s minions dumped another set of documents as a hit piece against Dave Schuman. This trove of goodies was literally twenty years old. Like a good media report, they not only gave you the…

Folks Dave Schuman issued a press release yesterday. Here it is in its entirety. Please note that I’m not putting this in block quotes because it’s too darn long. FYI I’ve also seen it online as a three-page Word document. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 19TH, 2024 FROM THE DESK OF DAVE SCHUMAN: Shortly after I…

Note: in the ten minutes (or less) that it takes you to read this, I saved you from wasting an additional two hours of your life watching the video that I reviewed. My notes were made as I watched this video, so they are jumpy. Here in north Idaho, there is a church that is…

Liberal website 9B News launched a scathing attack on Sheriff’s candidate Dave Schuman just six days before the election. They called him a liar, manipulator, fraud, and worse. The basis of the attack was supposed to be based on a Freedom of Information Act disclosure that the author admits he never totally read but then…

The political divisions in Idaho are very different from those on the Left Coast. We get to vote for two representatives in the Idaho House. For those in Elk Grove or other parts of Gavin’s domain, image that each Senate district had two Assembly members living within those same boundaries. Every two years you get…
