... clever.<br><br>If anyone knows of this disease, please can you let me know the cure. But please, please bear in mind that i think we are talking hours rather than days. As I write this, I grow weak. I'm not long for this world. <br><br><br>Thought of the Day<br><br>I must go in, the fog is rising.<br><br>For reference<br><br>I still have so much to give.<br>I hope men will say of me that I did duty by my country.<br>

The Hampton was nice, new and comfortable. We woke this morning, enjoyed the hotel breakfast. We organized our bags and cleaned out the car; tossed out our cooler, food, drinks and utensils then headed for the airport. Billings is another extremely small airport. It was easy to park the rental car and walk to the gate. <br><br>Let the all day journey home begin....<br><br>We're delayed to Denver, 20 minutes.<br>

<br>The last flight to Billings was almost<br>empty so we all took the opportunity to spread out. I love night<br>flying, watching the stars out the window. I hoped to see the moon<br>too, but was soon asleep, cocooned in the gently buzzing, dark plane.<br><br><br><br>The flight only took an hour so I was<br>soon awake grabbing my bags and making sure I said goodbye to my seat<br>to make sure that I hadn't left anything ...

... cheapest around .Brent also had his eyes tested and new glasses ordered.By mid afternoon we were back on the road  heading for Bozeman and another costco, where they checked the wheel nuts and made sure we were good to go. Great service.we arrived at a little town called Ennis around 7 pm, a long day for us.<br><br> <br>

... even let her on to get her bag off the bus and so, having asked her what it looked like, got on themselves to get it off.<br>She (like EVERY person on the bus,) had a 'black' bag.. The police found one,showed her through the window and she nodded that it was hers. As they took it off the bus and opened it to check it was, they found a crackpipe inside. She denied it was hers and on closer inspection, they found the wallet of the correct owner of the bag who was ...

... a climber attempt to scale the rock.<br><br>Our next destination was the Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument in Montana, the sight of Custer's Last Stand. We watched a brief video about the park, toured the museum, then drove around the Battlefied reading the markers that described the battle between the troops and the Lakota Sioux and the Northern Cheyenne indian tribes. <br><br>Leaving there, we headed on to our destination the KOA in ...

... Cody spent a lot of time, and we were pushing on, in slightly gloomier (and colder) weather over some high ground and into Montana, where we finally saw some real cowboys and their dogs rounding up a heard of black angus.<br>Just 15 miles short of Billings, the car started to slow down and misfire again and I had to stop.  Even though it was only 5 degrees outside and no civilisation to be seen I was far more relaxed this time ...

... Blogin on Malta Fireworks Festivals and discussions on how fireworks seems to be a major pastime in Malta with many religious holidays being celebrated with fireworks and huge, fancy pyrotechnic wheels. The videos were spectacular! Wednesday morning there was a "BATFE Round Table Discussion" with a Regional Office ...

Good nights sleep but an overcast day. Read in the local newspaper that the day we arrived in Billings they had 1.1 inches of rain in 24 hours - the previous record was 0.6 inches. MJ down the gym after breakfast and then off to the Zoo. Well not exactly a zoo - more like children's corner with the added attraction of a Siberian Tiger and some Red Pandas. It was in a lovely setting with long trails between features. The obligatory junior school kids and ...

If you look at where the men were you would realize they were sitting ducks. Custer was looking for glory and had no regard for the safety of his men and he led them into a trap.
