Football (Soccer) in Idaho

My eldest son, nearly 14 now, has always loved playing the game. Unfortunately, here in North Idaho, it's a short season. Well, two short seasons. When the snow finally disappears in spring, we can start playing outdoors again and the season lasts April to May (this year April was a slow start as the snow just didn't want to go). School's out early June, so no point having games when eveyone's on vacation. The new season starts in August, and we are done already. No snow yet, but it's getting cold, below freezing at night already.

It's a different game to the one played in England, so maybe that's why it has a different name.

Thanks for reading, Idaho I didn't read on specificly, but Texas is flooded and even though we give a lot in clothing and shelter, we always need more. This past March, there and about, we opened a new homeless facility to house families, filled in two days to capacity. Recently changed the food providers and management as,.. thieves do, mis-handled thousands of dollars.

As to cold, dang we had a chill this morning, 35 degrees so they say, but here I don't think I got to forty. Going to be eighty again all next week.
