Monday, June 18, 2007 Pocatello, ID


I had breakfast this morning in the Holiday Inn dining room. Now I know why they were less expensive than the Comfort Inn or the Best Western next door. They don’t include a complimentary breakfast, and it’s not cheap here. Maybe tomorrow, I’ll go to one of the complimentary breakfasts.
I thought I was going to enjoy a couple days of nothing to do. I was wrong. But it was a nice day for a walk, so I went to the fairgrounds to watch the high school state rodeo finals. It was only about a mile down the road, but once I got there, the wind kicked up, and I didn’t bring my sweatshirt with me, so I only hung around for about 2 hrs. The only thing they had today was the cutting horse competition, so I left and came back later on the bike. It all seemed to be the horse doing the work, so I couldn’t understand why they separated the boys from the girls, and there were about 4 times more girls. It’s always fun watching those horses work. It reminds me of a good basketball player on defense. I wish I understood how they did the scoring. Tomorrow, everything else starts – bull riding, bulldogging, roping, bronc riding, and all the stuff I wanted to see today. I’ll go back tomorrow morning to watch what I can, and then leave for Jackson Hole where I’ll meet up with Weez in the evening.
After the cutting competition, I took off to watch another movie. This time I saw Oceans 13. Again – entertaining, but not as enjoyable as the first one (with the same cast).
