This week, every time I speak with a cashier, or barista, or waiter, or nurse, or doctor, or pharmacist, or janitor, or gym worker, or mail delivery person or teacher, I thank them for keeping the city of Missoula running, and our country. They are the glue that keeps our lives functioning during these unique times. They are irreplaceable and on the front lines.

Thank you all.

Well folks, winter has arrived here in the great North of Montana. I’m busy writing and about to head to a doctors appointment. But first I’d like to post this image of a great white-tailed deer taken last week on the prairie. It’s been an absolute honor to live in these great mountains the last six years.
