đź“° In the news
Honoring a lifesaving legacy: Coeur d’Alene Fire Department engineer David Tysdal has retired after 24 years, from launching fire-based EMS in 2002 to helping start Idaho Disaster Dogs and training teams for complex rescues — see his career highlights.
Local groups join effort: Post Falls is weighing a patriotic monument for America’s 250th after adopting the America 250-ID proclamation and seeking a $2,500 grant, with City Hall campus placement and design still undecided — read the full story.
New spots coming to town: Raising Cane’s will open March 17 at 163 W. Neider Ave, first in North Idaho, with 20 Caniacs at the grand opening receiving free Cane’s for a year — check out the full lineup.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Your next wing fix: Capones Pub does wings right, crispy bone-in or hand-breaded boneless, tossed in classics like Buffalo and Garlic Parmesan, plus playful one-offs from a rotating Wing of the Month. A local tap makes it dinner, game night, or the best kind of Tuesday.
Skincare that actually works: In downtown Coeur d’Alene, Beauty At The Lake serves up facials, microneedling, lash and brow tints, and laser hair removal, alongside a curated shop with Laurel Whole Plant Organics and their own natural, cruelty-free skincare. Winter skin feeling dull? Consider this your boost.
Winter-friendly swings: Trailhead Golf Course keeps your game warm with covered, heated range stalls, two indoor simulators, and a quick nine for after-work swings or kid-friendly loops. Local vibes without the fuss, just easy practice and playful rounds that shine in any weather.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week đź‘€
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
