Yellow Bird, 1983 Jeep CJ7!

Video

“A yellow bird. With a yellow bill. Was sitting on. My window sill. I lured him in. With a piece of bread. And then I smashed his little head.”-U.S. Army marching cadence (of course the Basic Training unit I was in, back in 1982, used a different word for “little”)

Part-5c:

In 1970 (Cold War), the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena opened; the ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome.  In 1988 (Cold War), the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.  In January 2024 the name was changed, again, to ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded mostly by the financial institution.
