There are other years and other pages. They can be found through the University of Idaho Library, Moscow, ID. Most of them are on microfiche. Apparently, Sanborn Fire Insurance Company was pretty big back then and they insured entire towns. They had a very detailed mapping system for an insurance company.

I will definitely go check it out. Just an FYI - CaseyBrocke Saddlery and Gunsmith shop will be closing this month and that space will be up for lease if anyone is interested. Suggestion: Maybe Oscar could set up a shop there and offer various levels of computer classes. Several people have expressed interest to me in learning very basic, basics and intermediate level computer skills. Thank you for the information Holly. I will definitely go check it out.

]]> Comment on Water Conservation: by shishona http://troy.communityblogs.us/2007/10/26/water-conservation/#comment-206 shishona Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:23:44 +0000 http://troy.communityblogs.us/2007/10/26/water-conservation/#comment-206 Nobody has stepped forward to help on this issue, so the Water committee is dissolving. I will keep working on this issue. I will keep tabs on the City's progress on the new well and update people when I can. I am also submitting articles to the Troy Talk on water conservation, when there is space, for general education. With education and our new well, hopefully we can improve our water shortage in Troy. Future plans include trying to get a spot on the Troy website that gives conservation information and links. If you have questions, comments, or want to get involved; please contact me: 835-5049, shishonathurston@hotmail.com Nobody has stepped forward to help on this issue, so the Water committee is dissolving.

Contributors, authors, and editors have much cooler tools for writing posts than administrators have. There are options of color, format, etc. that administrators don't have. You get the option of typing in visual or code. I just used another email addy and went through the process of signing up to be a blogger again, approving myself as an editor. Blogging is much easier now. Kendrick and Juliaetta blogger Just wondering if Horizons has passed on to your blogging administrators what I learned on my own about blogging.
