    Default Reflections From Montana

    This morning, very early, I drove out to Bozeman on business matters. I stopped for breakfast at a place called "Kountry Kitchen", and it was quite good and very inexpensive. In Bozeman, the average house price is astronomical (especially for Montana) but you can still get bacon and eggs for under $5. There must have been 40 or more vehicles in the lot. Other than my Jeep and another SUV, they were all pick ups. In case you forgot you were in Montana.
    I learned three things this morning. First, I learned, again, how beautiful this place is in the spring, after a rain (and a foot of snow last week), when everything is green. Second, that I need new wiper blades. Three, I probably need glasses. I can see just fine, but I can't tell what I'm looking at, or read street signs, things like that. And I just passed the vision test back in September.
    When I took the test, I read E,R,C,W,S....a guy later read P, A, D, M, etc...and I figured one of us was screwed, but we both passed.

    Sometimes they ask you to read from different lines.

    Sounds like you had a good day.

    Not eat out for breakfast in a long time usually Porridge or eggs and bacon for breakfast, pint of milk if lazy.

    I love Montana. It reminds me of Canada

    In the seventies I went on two ski trips to Whitefish and had a blast. My step dad went to the University in Missoula and played on the Butte bombers hockey team and although some don't believe me, Evil Knievel played with him and was the teams skating coach. He's got the team pictures behind his bar. My dad played goalie and still does in the old timer leagues in Calgary.

    I always thought Montana would secede and join Canada

    Back in 2003, I went into this bar called the Pair-A-Dice to have a couple beers. The bartender and the guy two stools down were telling old Butte stories, which I love hearing, so I was shamelessly eavesdropping. The guy on the other stool turned around and it was Evel Knievel. He had this friend- part owner of Muzz & Stan's Bar, I don't know if it was Muzz or Stan- that owned a pink convertible Cadillac and you'd see the two of them riding around town in it.
    Secession is a topic that comes up pretty regularly. Somehow, it didn't come up at all during this year's legislative session. Given all the anti-gun stuff going on, that is very suprising because that is usually where it gets started.

    Sometimes it seems so.

    That's funny because when I picture greynotsoold I always imagine a cross between an old testament God fella and one of the Gibbon brothers from ZZtop.

    If you can get an image of Santa's older, thinner, taller brother in your head...Then think "I always heard the North Pole was a cheerful place, but this one appears to have a lot of miles on him."
    Combine the two, and that's me.

    American diners are very generous with the food.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    That sounds pretty damn refreshing. Always good to get back to simple and let the scenery do all the talking. It has much to say.

    Before I moved into this concrete jungle I loved to just drive, didn't care where. People get so hung up on destinations they forget to enjoy the journey. Besides, you got bacon ta boot! Who the Hell doesn't love bacon
