... flow. However, I didn't see the captive audience thing in the car coming. She's only covered thru 1984 in her file of things I haven't listened to since 1971. Also, Mrs. Congeniality has caused us to meet way too many nice people. Today at breakfast a cute couple married 60 years would still be talking to us if I hadn't given them my ...

... skinny, it took pretty much forever. Construction, and windy up hill roads don't equal speed. <br>We rolled our way into Missoula about 5PM, mountain time, and decided to check out the downtown area. There happened to be a music festival, with BEER, going on downtown. Some local bands were playing, and there were tons of people out and about. Missoula is a pretty cool ...

... The ride down I don't watch.<br><br> We arrived to at this nice park and it was raining (which it has done every evening since we have been on the road). The topic of conversation when you talk to a Montanian is the amount of rain they have had this year. They said that usually this time of year everything is burned up from the dry ...

... then happy to show us his favorite micro-breweries and foods. We had a great time sharing stories and eating an awesome burrito, ready for this combo: wasabi, curry, buffalo, burrito! We headed off the very next day to an unexpected surprise. <br><br>A side note about couch surfing: I have believed for some time that people are generally good and kind, but I have not been prepared for the shamless acts of kindness I ...

... don't- he seems to think I have some kind of an 'addiction' to craig's list. I don't. I could stop looking at it at any time. Just kidding, but I don't- I've bought one thing off there and it was a really good deal- it was an oak table for $35. And now I've found a microwave cabinet that fits PERFECTLY into one of the spaces in our new kitchen that I measured, so I'm planning on buying that too. But I think Silas is getting into craig's list ...

... hour. Worried that your transfer bus will leave before the bus you're on arrives? Never fear - the driver asks passengers which buses they'll be transferring to, and radios ahead to make sure those buses wait. Fare is 85 cents, cash, kids under 12 free. Or buy a monthly pass for only $24. University student? Ride free anytime. Ah, if only my hometown Pioneer Valley Transit Authority were so well-organized (and well-funded). I still haven't managed to find a ...

... brewfests, antique car shows.  I can't imagine the human-power needed to organize these time after time.  Not to mention the three weekly farmer's markets.  One, going for years, features at least fifty local farms (mostly Hmong immigrant-run) full of fresh produce.  Two others have spun off from it - a separate craft market, and a downtown, plugged-in (for refrigeration, not music) meat-and-cheese market. And things are still growing.  Since I left ten years ago ...

... bits and bobs, just browsing around the huge variety of outlets like Sportsman's Warehouse which was quite an eye opener with it's 'game hunting' section, complete with monstrous animal heads mounted near the front of the store. There was also a wall of honour for all the local hunters... pictures of teenage boys and girls, seasoned pro hunters and plenty of mums and dads, all standing proudly next to their 'kills'. Ok, so it was pretty disgusting ...
