Poaching on Skelly's Old Turf
I don't want to complain about the ride here, it was only bad from Stanfield on. The guy in front of me reclined the whole way, and just didn't give a govno how it felt for me. It was crowded, I could not just move. I was really glad to get to Twin Falls, my sister however just can't take their terrible traffic. We decided not to go looking for the Euro Store because it was hot, both of us were exhausted, and we wanted to beat the Friday night traffic into her town. Anyway I was glad to get there. She has a nice place! My sister has exquisite taste, so it's comfortable and the only sad thing is the huge fire that is burning near town, VERY near town.
I got to meet my sister's adorable dog, Beverly, an Aussie Shepherd, who worked more as a cow dog. Lovely sweet dog, very intelligent!
My sister's human friends from her job at the local thrift store are really lovely people. Two have recent birthdays, Zelda who picked a LOVELY comfortable dress for me, it's modest and colorful, and Laura, who is Argentinian, and very pretty, a wearer of fun hats, so they invited me to join them for drinks, and some pommes frittes. I got a sense of how much they love my sister, and how much they respect her. Really it rather touched me. I felt like I hit it off with them all too.
The fire is totally awful, it's huge, the air smells of smoke, the sun was an orange red dot in the sky, and it gave us both headaches. The smoke looked nearly solid. I will link to my Flikr pictures of this fire. Probably later when I am less tired. I reorganized my luggage again. I think I have it down to a much better set up.
So far, knock on wood the escape plan is working. I have secured an apartment in Sarajevo. Haven't heard from the landlord yet that they recieved my deposit, they wanted proof faxed, and I am not where I can fax or send a scanned thing yet. It should reach them, and I'll be where I can do that soon. Maybe they have a Kinko's here! That would help! :)
b.t.w. Bosnians and Croats frequently work as guest workers at the Sun Valley resort, and I really enjoyed walking around it last night with my sister. Now to go watch her DVDs of 'Big Love' later komrads! :)

Prijatno!
(and if you have an extra moment, stop by Campus Tanning Salon, 563 Fillmore St, and say zdravo for me to my dear friend Antonija Lehr, unofficial ambassador for the Twin Falls ex-YU community)

By the way, Toni Lehr is a Twin Falls Sarajevska, and would swoon to know that you'll be living there soon (I'm pretty envious myself).
I don't think I can talk my sister into going into Twin Falls again, it looks in fact like I'll use the Boise shuttle to get to the bus depot, and then bus on to my next stop. na zalost. Some of her co-workers really like the Bosnian people and the Croatian people though. I got to go hang with them, they work at a thrift store here. Maybe I can at least call Antonija Lehr, if she's in the phone book.
