Idaho happenings

 You know you live in Idaho when you see an ad in the newspaper for "Old horse manure"!!
 At an Assembly at Poky High School the robotics team did a demonstration - they stacked six of these bins and then a round garbage can on top of the six!
 Here the robot has stacked four of the bins, has the last two and the round can on top!
 When it finished the whole deal - the crowd yelled and clapped and it was awesome!
 The last of the assembly was a demo by these BMX riders - They were advertising the Ramp Riot at ISU in April.  One of the three world class riders was from Pocatello!  another one from Idaho Falls and the third from Australia!  The one from Pocatello talked to the students about doing their best in high school and reaching their potential...pretty good really.
He also talked about them reaching their dreams - he said there was one competitions that over 400 started - it came down to 8 people in the whole world chosen - four were Americans, 2 from Idaho!!  They were really good - gold medal winners at XGames good!!  They had the basketball coach sit on a chair - they said they were going to jump over him - then they practiced with an empty chair - and knocked it down!  The coach was a good sport and of course they sailed over his head!!
