This image was taken in the magnificent Bitteroot National Forest, in early July. This is important because the drought started around that time, and then the first fires erupted midway through July. This place does not look quite the same, and we need rain here in Montana. Still beautiful, however.

Two Medicine Lake, Glacier National Park
In early June, my girlfriend Rachel and I had the privilege of camping for a night at Two Medicine, in Glacier National Park. There’s something about this area that makes it my favorite in Glacier, and perhaps my favorite in the world. We hiked, photographed nature, and eventually rented a boat.
Much of my fiction is influenced by the natural world, and Two Medicine is one of the chief points of inspiration. It was a good day.
The ten greatest albums of all time

After the chart-breaking success of Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd released two experimental albums (Wish You Were Here and Animals) with multiple songs over ten minutes in length, basically telling radio to blow.
No rock record has held its political and ambient relevance as Animals has. While his peers were busy trashing hotel rooms and hanging with groupies, Waters was seeing in razor-vision the coming moral and political decline.
