The campus of the University of Idaho in Coeur d’Alene is beautiful. Me, I prefer beaches, but I do love the beauty of Idaho.

Not sure if he’s still feeling it, but I love the great outdoors MUCH more than suburbia. I’ve heard how stunning it is up north of you. Wouldn’t take anything to convince me. 🙂

Thanks, John. Now that you are in Oregon, you should check out northern Idaho, too – beautiful as well. Thanks for stopping by, John.

LOL, Darnell! Unfortunately, my body seems to have an aversion to oranges or acidic fruit. Another funny tidbit ~ the best Idaho potatoes are shipped out of the state.

Thanks for dropping by, Darnell.

I’d much rather play – period, Lori. 😉 My Dad had a favorite saying ~ it’s all relative.

This is also a testament for forging your own path and ignoring self-professed gurus. 😉

Thanks for stopping by, Lori.

My state has two time zones too.

70% of Florida is in the eastern time zone the western edge also called the pan handle is in the Central time zone.

One thing I know I like about Idaho is those delicious potatoes
Hey I’ll trade you some oranges?

That’s why we thrive as freelancers — we charge based on what our highest-paying client can afford (most times, anyway). I work with a few businesses in my region (not terribly close, but within an hour or two by car). What I charge for them compares to what I charge nationally. It’s location — they’re in a higher-priced area.

However, I still get some who watch every penny like they’d minted it personally.
