I had a pretty good day last week. I was up early, it was light but the sun hadn't come over the mountains yet. That is the best time to see animals, and I saw 5 elk (all cows) and at least 7 or 8 antelope. This was on the southern edge of town so I didn't have to go into the mountains. Seeing deer is nice; seeing elk is exilirating. Such regal animals.
Then I went to the M&M Cigar Store in Uptown Butte for breakfast. The M&M originally opened in 1890 and it was open 24/7 for 114 years. On the left as you come in is a long bar, and on the right is a counter where you sit to eat, with a grill right there. There is a poker room, keno, and a sportsbook in the back. When the last owner died, the M&M was closed for 3 years, but is now on a 6 year run of being open 24/7. I had the bacon/cheese omelette with gravy and it was very very good.
Then I drove to Missoula- 120 miles west of me- and looked at 2 foreclosures. One of them, if the buying is right, could turn out quite well. So, a good day.
