Greetings From Beautiful Hamilton, MT
As most of you know I've been on vacation for the last week and a half. We've been down to Las Vegas and are now on our way back. Tonight we're staying in Hamilton, Montana. Tomorrow we're taking a trip through the Kalispell/Glacier National Park area, then (Friday night some time) we'll be home and I should be back to my normal posting schedule.
Until then, though, please keep the guest posts coming.
Its been a wonderful trip. If you have the time and the means driving is really the only way to go. You see so much more of this country then you would if you just hopped in an airplane. The mountains, the plains, the forests, the deserts and the people...it all makes for one enjoyable, uniquely American experience. I even like those cheesy little "world's largest ball of yarn" type road-side, tourist-trap type attractions. They're fun, most of them.
For instance, today we drove through a down called Arco in Idaho. Arco owns a small bit of history in that it was the first town in the free world to be powered by nuclear power. It was the first time nuclear technology had ever been used, in a major way, for something other than war. That's pretty cool, but another cool thing about the town was that on a mountain peak visible from all over the town the graduating class from the local high school has been painting its graduate year in large numbers for everybody to see. Which in and of itself is unremarkable, but in this town they've been doing it since 1921.
Is it dorky that I think finding things like this is cool? Maybe, but they're entertaining to me.
But anyway, I digress. I've missed blogging while I've been gone. I can't wait to be back in the saddle and keeping Say Anything regularly updated with current events and opinions once again.
