Pulpo.

Exactly! That stretch of orchard, which I have dubbed the Baguette Deli-Coalcoaman Corridor, is arguably the most interesting culinary hotspot in Boise.

Just had a delightful pulpo tostada in the shade whilst reading the paper, a small delight.

And I agree with you’re agreeing.

Alrighty Boise, the little Mexican food complex taking shape at the corner of orchard and bethel is setting itself up to be an essential summer spot. Shaded boxcar seating, real deal mariscos and a VERY strong taco game.

Saw the Nasdaq bubble of ~’96-‘99 and the housing/credit bubble of ~’05-‘08 up close.

And the market today seems more disconnected from reality & more unable to incorporate information rationally than ever before.

Congressman Embroiled In Sexting Scandal

Great reporting Arielle!

They counted on a rural dialysis unit to keep them alive. Then it closed A hospital in Nebraska shut down the only dialysis unit for miles, upending lives. That's despite a new federal program that gave the state more than $200 million to improve rural health care access.

Meet some of the people whose lives were upended after their rural dialysis center closed. Some moved to be closer to care. One is living in a rental in another city on weekdays. Another drives 4+ hours roundtrip for care, three times a week.

Hey there Dr. Kolden! Would love to be in touch about this. You can find a good email for me here (www.boisestatepublicradio.org/people/murph...) or feel free to DM here on bluesky. Thanks!

As a professional user of fire science, I share this sentiment. Some of the most eye-opening scholarship I have read over the last several years has been spearheaded by Forest Service scientists.

Latest outlook suggests West could be in for ‘very long and very busy’ fire season The monthly National Interagency Fire Center outlooks are typically staid documents, providing just-the-facts analysis. But the latest is superlative-laden as it describes record-low snowpacks, record-early snow melt and record-high temperatures.
