I might be moving (well, going) to Montana soon. :)

Any idea where you might end up going in Montana?

I've only been living in Montana a short time but I suggest avoiding Butte. Creepiest place ever.

I have a close friend/occasional boss who owns a town next to the Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument, and he's in desperate need of an administrative right hand for a few weeks a month over the summer.

He's flown me out there (almost) every year since he bought the property in 1994, when it was nothing more than a ratty old hand-built house and leaking gas station. He's worked his butt off and turned it into something pretty damned impressive. Anyway, it's a hell of a gig, and I can use the dough. :)

If you ever get out that way, find Chris and tell him "The chicken lady in SW WA sent me." You'll get the grand treatment.


Never been to Butte but thanks for the head's up. What makes it so creepy?

Heading to the pool for the annual swimathon. 150 miles. camping out there over night with a zillion overtired, overexcited and oversugared kids. Wish me luck! :lol:

Ugg. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Good luck.

Are you going to raise dental floss and become a tycoon? :D

Yes. And I'm gonna get me a pony, just about this big. :D

I love that you got that. One of my favs.

I'm alive. Although I had to take my contact lenses out already. Couldn't find my lens case when I finally went to bed last night, so I had to sleep with them in.

How can one not admire the gleam from a pair of heavy-duty zircon-encrusted tweezers in the moonlighty night?

I mean, really. :cool:

Enjoy Glinda!

Oh man, that was awesome! (And what a stylish dresser our Frank was!)

Until now, my appreciation of all that is Zappa was limited to record albums - you know, those flat black plastic thingies from the dark ages. Never got a chance to see him live and he left us much too soon. Thanks for the visual education!

Found a vid of another favorite Zappa tune... enjoy!

Very cool. Yea, I have a bunch of boxes of those flat plastic round things.

I was just singing St. Alphonso's PB to my cow-orker. She thinks I'm insane.

This isn't news to anyone. :D

I have a new found appreciation for you. :D

Whelp... off I go. Destination: Billings. Wheee! :cool:

Have fun, and good luck with the floss farm!

on a camping and float trip with the guys from the shop tommorow.
There will bee MUCH Beer consumed !!

Just got back from a week in Jamaica. Best trip ever for a couple. We went to an all inclusive resort and did nothing but lay in the sun, meet lots of really great people, and drink and eat. That will be on the rinse and repeat list for next year.

Sounds like a lot of fun TM. I'm currently working on planning the itinerary for our trip to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone at the end of the month. We're hoping for a photo safari of some type - and are looking forward to the trip!

you have tickets for the burial?

Taking photos through it is acceptable, but whatever you do, don't pee in it! :D
