I think you will find it difficult to dig Razor Backs on the Sunny-Beaches of Idaho. Hope you like spuds.

Talking Idaho has Positive Aspects

Idaho does offer many foods to go with the spuds (Which I greatly like, twice baked)... Trout, deer, elk and even seafood? (I heard about somekind of Mountain Oyster)

I am a bit puzzled about them oysters...I heard you don't need rubber boots, and they are not very easily taken live...Go figure!

In any case, the snow provides the cheapest form of refrigeration...If you insulate your beer, you can grab one as you walk into the house, and it won't be hard.

Rocky Mountains oysters - prairie oysters, Montana tendergroins, cowboy caviar, swinging beef, calf fires - a true delicacy.

But it almost *hurts* to fix.

Thumbs up Tako Poki

You can go to Foodland ( a supermarket chain in Hawaii). It is a mix off Tako(Octopus), sesame seed and oil, green onions, tomatoes, onions (preferably Maui) and soyu.

Great stuff!

I've had some good experiences with fried calamari, but otherwise, yeah, no octopus/squid.
Oh yeah, wish me luck, I'm interviewing with PSNS tomorrow, if I get the job, it'll cut about an hour off my commute, be a bit less stress, be welding ONLY (not carpentry out in the rain and snow with mandatory overtime and bosses getting pissed at me for getting sick), and a whole lot better of benefits.

Welder? I may ask for welding advice from time to time...just had my **** kicked welding a break in a cast iron light pole, had to get a higher nickel rod to hold it.

If ya weren't so friggn far away and my truck worked I'd actually do it. At least I would be working on something I knew about. Plus I always wanted to camp out in Alaska.
