Checked for duplicate. I was out traveling yesterday, so if I missed this one and caused a double post, sorry.

I was trying to think of a stupid comment up to my usual standards, but somehow, this story has me beaten.

The AP store (link) is a quick read, and funny.

I did like the line about the 'large trash can.'

Notice that they don't give her age? Is that going to be SOP now like not giving the race of perps?
Inquiring minds want to know.

she drove the rented minivan through a set of automatic double-doors, through the terminal, past the baggage claim and into the rotunda. She stopped when she reached the rental car counter.

"Here's your car back. 'Bye!"

Since this was in Idaho, maybe Toyota's doing some field testing there?

Toyota introduces car made from potatoes

Actually, she did a good job after she got in the terminal. There are lots of obstacles in the terminal. Nimble and gray (a senior blond)....Now I'm in trouble.

Why not? They make everything else from the potato or is it potatoe. Potato ice cream isn't bad. Idaho's best A grade get shipped out, we have to buy Maine's potatoes, or is it potatos.

No, it's true and sold nationally. All kinds of flavors.

Potato ice cream? Why not? You can get garlic ice cream at the Gilroy garlic festival.

Augggggg. Potato flavor just kind of fades away, but garlic sticks around forever.

It was a pretty mild garlic flavor, but still, garlic and sweet flavors just don't mix.

I'm pretty familiar with the Boise airport, and it's difficult to imagine anyone just "accidentally" driving into the terminal.

It's a new terminal. Two levels now. So, the walking traffic is devided.

I've been there as recently as July. My mom lives west of there, and I have a sister living in Boise.
