Boise’s Amazing Courteous People

I’m often amazed how courteous people are in the Boise area.

One example is strangers holding doors open for others when entering or leaving a business place.

I personally experienced this today when someone ahead of me held the door open for me as I was entering Boise Towne Square Mall.

Then, the same thing happened as I was leaving the mall.

Another daily example is the courteous drivers who slow down to let someone merge into traffic.

And, there are those people with full shopping carts at Albertson’s or Costco who ask you if you’d like to go ahead when you have only a couple of items.

Perhaps most amazing are the perfect strangers who smile and say “Hi”

Kinda makes you wonder what they’re up to!

The Boise area is a truly amazing place to live!

Boise River Floating Season Underway

The 2013 floating season for the Boise River got underway this past Friday.

City officials are warning floaters that the water is cold and dangerous this year.

Thousands of floaters take to the Boise River and each floating season includes numerous instances requiring rescues.

Hypothermia, unmarked hazards such as tree snags, alcohol, and inadequate raft equipment are among the common causes for floaters getting into trouble.

Amazingly, people float the river in inner tubes and thin plastic rafts with no life jackets!

If you’re planning to float the river, take precautions and be safe!
