HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! Tobacco and alcohol are pretty cheap in Idaho, and
nearly universally available, except for the hard stuff on Sunday or
election day, and possibly except for some FLDS enclaves. Gambling is
available just across the Nevada border. TV reception can be a problem
in the mountains, unless you have a clear view of the southern sky. :-)

If you are leaving the temptations behind, they must be caused the
boredom of your everyday life. That must suck. Believe me, Larry, I know
how it is. I've been there, and I still occasionally visit that place.
I'm being completely serious right now.

I gather that you spent most of your life training field dogs. Not so?
Do you have any dogs now? Do you, for example, take a well-trained dog
or two along to Idaho? (A very dog-friendly state, BTW.) Are you so sick
of making your living from them that you don't want anything more to do
with them? Just curious. If it's none of my business, just tell me to
**** off.
