Coeur D Alene 6/8/07

I am in Coeur D Alene Idaho. It is very beautiful, right on an
enormous lake surrounded by mountains and pine forests. It is also
another one of those mid-Rockies towns where the born-and-raised
natives have little money and there isn't much industry but the rich
people from California and other places have "discovered" it.
There's this low key little town but then there's this downtown
district with a wine bar and fancy restaurants and galleries and
salons. It's a very odd juxtaposition of cultures. I just got back
from the gay bar. Not too bad, only a few people there. Two women
with *amazing* mullets came in, ordered 2 Sparks, and then went to a
table and started making out like mad. Talked to a couple of locals,
seems like not such a bad place to live actually. I left when a
woman with a buzzcut who was at least 6 months pregnant came in and
sat at the bar and started chain smoking. It made my brain twitch.
