VISITOR: Feeling the love

Nobody held up a “California: Go Home!” sign to me this time, like they did the last time that I was up here. I spent thousands of dollars in North Idaho, and enjoyed your beautiful area for a few days. I left with a slide-in truck camper from Rathdrum that I bought from a nice elderly couple, and I’ll be back in the summer.

Please be kind to us Californians. We love to come up there and spend our money, boost your economy, and enjoy your scenery. Thank you for being pleasant this time around.
