My Life's Itinerary.....So Far - Part 16

  So we are in the last half of 1992 and living in a rented home in Boise, Idaho on a street called Breckenridge. Never knew why the street had that name. Researched it a little and all I found was a professor and a horse breeder by that name, from Idaho, of course.  See how easily I get sidetracked? Which makes me wonder what the etymology of sidetracked is. See? There I go again!
  The family settled in and as I mentioned in Part 15, the Vermont house sold and all of it's contents were brought out to us. I still worked for the same company, but in the home office in Boise, servicing POS systems.
  I think the most memorable part of our stay here, was the night that a rodent ran across the living room floor.  It didn't end there. In all my 'wisdom' I decided to combat our unwanted residents by laying out some poison here and there. Well, it worked, but not in the best way. I found one deceased in the garage. I didn't know how many there were, but assumed there was more then one. Time passed and we began to notice a horrible odor developing in the house. We contacted the management company of the house and they sent someone out. He discovered that a rodent had ingested the poison and succumbed in one of the HVAC ducts. Next time, traps, not poison.

Later on, we bought a home on Mitchell St. Breckenridge was below 'the bench' and Mitchell St. was on 'the bench' which basically means we were up the hill. We were in this house for a few years, and a funny thing happened. The kids were growing up into adults and moving on and so did Mom and Dad.
