LETS SEE--AN OLD SOUTHERN WHITE GUY TALKING ABOUT OUR BLACK PRESIDENT--HAVE WE NOT HEARD THIS BEFORE??!!
ITS SO UNBELIEVABLELY RACIST THAT IT BOGGLES THE MIND. DID THIS SENATOR NOT REHEARSE HIS WORDS AND THEN NOTICE THAT IT SOUNDS SOOO CLOSE TO THE TERMINALOGY USED TO KEEP BLACKS IN THEIR PLACE NOT TOO LONG AGO?
OR---MAYBE HE DID REHEARSE HIS WORDS AND KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS WERE AND DIDNT GIVE A SHIT CAUSE HE CAN'T STAND THE FACT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS A PRESIDENT THAT WAS ELECTED BY A WHOPPING NUMBER OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE BLACK AND POPULAR.
SENATOR CHAMBLISS SHOULD JUST MOSEY OVER TO HIS CLOSET, DUST OFF THE WHITE SHEETS, ADD SOME SPARKLE TO THE DUNCE HAT, AND WEAR IT PROUDLY WHILE WAVING THE CONFERATE FLAG. MAYBE HE CAN GET A COUPLE OF "NEGROS" TO CARRY HIS LILLIY WHITE, WRINKLED ASS ON THEIR SHOULDERS AND PARADE HIM AROUND THE SENATE CHAMBERS--I WONDER HOW MANY HIGH FIVES HE'D GET FROM HIS STILL IN THE CLOSET BIGOTED FELLOW SENATORS??
YEA, I KNOW I'M BEING TREASONOUS FOR SAYING THAT SOMETIMES I'M NOT TOO PROUD OF BEING AN AMERICAN--WELL THIS YEAR I'VE HAD A LOT TO NOT BE PROUD OF. I COULD TOLERATE IT A WHOLE LOT BETTER IF THESE RACIST JUST CAME OUT AND STATED THAT THEY HATE OBAMA CAUSE HE IS WHAT HE IS--BLACK

THE BEGINNING OF THE END--THE END OF A BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY
ITS 4:30A.M. AND I'M LOADING THE SUV UP WITH DOGGIES, CLOTHING, BELONGINGS, AND MEMORIES OF ONE OF MY MOST ENJOYABLE ROAD TRIPS. ITS GREAT THAT I'M A LONER BY UPBRINGING AND I THINK THAT ADDED TO THE ENJOYMENT I WAS ABLE TO HAVE WITHOUT ANYONE ELSE AND VIRTUALLY NO OUTSIDE CONTACT WHILE AT THE CABIN. CHECKING OUT THE SHOPW AND THE TOWNS WAS ALL FINE AND DANDY--BUT IT WAS THE TIMES I SPENT ON MY OWN WADING THE CREEKS AND THE FANTASTICALLY BEAUTIFUL AND SERENE RIVERS AND THE MORNINGS AND EVENINGS THAT THE DOGGIES SPENT AT THE CABIN THAT I MOST ENJOYED.
WE ARRIVED AT 1:45A.M TUESDAY MORNIN
LOS ANGLES TO GOOSE CREEK CABIN=1163 MILES
TOTAL MILAGE OF TRIP=2864 MILES

SOME WRITINGS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IN BOZEMAN
so, i’m sitting out on the patio looking out over my domain- in complete nekedness enjoying the evening breeze contemplating our next move--stick it out here in this beautiful, picturesque, place that i have fallen for or pack up our things and head back to cali 2 days early. “but why leave such a lovely and scenic place”?-you ask.
it all comes down to my nose. yep, thats right-u heard it hear first. i can continue to do the Bozeman thing all the while putting up with a runny nose, sore throat, itchy/red eyes and chapped nose. popping those ALAREST 24 HOUR RELIEVE tablets like there’s no tomorrow(and by the way 24HOURS by whose clock-i’m consuming these every 3 hours!!). or, call it a wonderful 7 days getting to know this quaint little city, its people, its many scenic rivers, meadows, creeks, streams, and its many many fields of alfalfa, some looking like mysterious crop circles when in reality its the way they are irrigated using long sections of water pipe conneted to motorized wheels called pivots.
of all the contingencies i had planned for, never once did the question of allergies come to mind. everytime i saw the pics of my cabin--set in this wonderful meadow shock full of greenery --nevber once did i even imagine that maybe just maybe-i might be allergic to the very reasons why montana is so pretty this time of year. every place u turn to is full of flowers of some type or other. the river banks and creek banks are overwhelmed with brush- and a lot of it in bloom.
its saturday morning and i’m back to the cabin from a 2.5 mile fast pace walk into the forest up from the cabin. its like 8am and the sun is already out and hot though the temp is still on the cool side. i’ve past no houses and if a tree fell, i’m sure it would make a sound cause right now its complete silence 'cept for a bird chirp every now and then. as long as no bears decide to play tag with me--neked or not--i guess its gonna be a pretty lonely and brisk walk. yes, my allergies are killing me and yet, i could see myself buying a nice little farm out here--let me just win the lotto and then we’ll figure the particulars. i have decided that tomorrow, sunday, will be our last full day here and we will head out on monday morn and try and make it to fillmore, utah before nitefall and spend the nite there.
i am so happy that deedee and honeybun decided to make the road trip up here with me-as did my hansey, booboo, honeybun1,and our big hobo. myself, i am still pleased as hawaiian punch taht i finally made my montana road trip. on the way up we saw some pretty stunning scenery and have met some really nice and helpful people. for those that know me-you bet i stopped and asked random individuals where the nearest this and that was-and most of the time i already kinda new- i just wanted to take a measure of the people along the way.
i’ve met a couple of people who knew the store where i took my flyfishing lessons, just met a young lady while visiting the small town of livingston who is from los angles and has family still living here in livingston. i’ve had some great food while staying in bozeman
SUBARU RULES HERE IN BOZEMAN--or for that matter any truck, suv or 4 wheel drive. as of this writing, i have not seen a lexus, bmw, mercedes, and certainly no rolls. at first, one wonders why the subaru--cause its 4 wheel drive and can function as a cute family car and stilll be a rugged off road vheicle when needed. i finally stopped at famous dave’s bbq and to my eternal saddness--no big ass'ed texas beef ribs. they have beef brisket-so they couldn’t get their hands on cows with ribs?? just asking.
so i got the tips with corn on the cob, potato salad, wilber’s beans with chunks of pork and bits of chili and some corn bread. so far so good. the tips are meaty with plenty of fat--which is the reason to eat any meat. to me its like the meat is extra stuff i gotta put up with to get to the fat. its a cute place made up of antler chandeliers, wood plank flooring and of course log rafters, walls, and cross beams. giving it that rustic feel. it reminds me of the Cartwrights home on Bonanza.
and talking of the Cartwights, not that it has anything to do with them, but lewis and clark and Sacagawea, their loyal indian maiden, play a very important part in the history/folklore of the area. i’ll have to go back to my history books and check out who exactly these lewis and clark dudes were. i’m thinking their like famous movie actors in days gone by who played indians in the movies-or something close to that.
i notice that a lot of men here sport long hair and tails--funny how i remember that little Joe Cartwright also sported a tail-at least i think he did--ANYBODY HELP ON THIS.? also, why little joe-something we didn't know about--small feet, small______?
lots of stashes and beards. i think i actually spotted bozeman’s one and only homeless person and he was dressed up in cowboy boots and shirt. the reason i think he’s homeless is cause i noticed him twice in two days just sitting on the park bench. maybe he just likes sitting on park benches or maybe he’s waiting for a cattle herd comming thru town.
so its sunday around 1pm, just did my 2.5 mile jog and its gonna be a cloudy/rainy day today. i just got into bozeman-needing to buy a couple of gifts for a couple of people -- one down, one to go. deedee woke me up about 2am with diarhrea- most likely induced from famous dave’s bbq--too much sauce. had to get up and give her a bath, change their bedding and back to bed. woke up a bit mushy. i def had mixed feelings about leaving this area. its so relaxing at nite--i hadn't mentioned it but there is no tv, no cable, no phone and no internet/WIFI, and no one else to talk to. yet, i’v enjoyed the time spent with the doggies and sitting on the patio staring up at the stars. it gets so quite-no cars, people, ANYTHING.
allergies or whatever--montana will always be on my mind--glenn, where are u-this is where u jump in with song and dance!!
