Pocatello, Idaho: Old Ford COE U.S. Postal Service, September 2023

This former USPS Ford 1960s though 1980s C (Cargo) series Cab Over Engine (COE) truck has been in use as a static billboard for more than 30 years, by a re-sale store in Pocatello called Westwood Discount. I do not know the exact year of this truck. In Canada, this truck was known as the ‘M’ series because Ford trucks were sold under the Mercury brand-name in Canada.

Chubbuck Days, Idaho: CARS & CANDY, August 2023!

My Idaho; Pathetic Pland-emic 4th of July, 2020!

Due to the Pland-emic Paranoia, Bannock County administrators canceled the yearly fireworks show, but I showed them!

The fireworks were found in this 25mm High-Explosive Tracer ammo case. Photo by AAron B. Hutchins.

Me and my middle daughter Aryssa decided to try out the decades old fireworks we found on my father’s estate in California, in February 2019. 

The proper use of your empties.

It ended with me trying to blow-up one of my BBQ grills. Video by Aryssa M. Hutchins:

Are fireworks the true ‘Fountain of Youth’?

Chubbuck Days, 2023: Cars & Candy!

After a seven years hiatus, the car show portion of Chubbuck Days finally returned to Cotant Park in Chubbuck, Idaho, 12AUG2023.

I’ve been attending Chubbuck Days since 1998 (and covering the car show since 2010), the previous Chubbuck Days car show was in 2016, with much reduced participation and many of the vehicles being for sale.

After 2016, the so-called neighborhood improvement projects blocked access to Cotant Park, along with the park’s playground and tennis courts being ripped-up and replaced by a parking lot (also, the substitute park chosen for Chubbuck Days was too small to accommodate a car show), with the projects completed just in time for the ‘Pland-emic’ Paranoia which resulted in the cancelation of all local public events.

Supposedly unsuspecting parents & children were bombed from the sky with candy dropped from a rotary wing:

Original faded paint, missing the rear luggage rack, and it’s for sale!

It’s for sale, but it seems people is more interested in the dog:
