A really, really good vacation
He who catches the biggest fish (on someone else's lure) . . . 
loses a sleeve.
We did catch and release.

Sunset on the North Fork of the Flathead.
What you do NOT want to find on your oar.
Paul can't sleep without his favorite pillow.
Trevon is Nica's favorite camping buddy.
While floating today we made the choice to take the left channel, only to be met by a couple dragging their canoe upstream. They said there was a log jam below and the channel was impassible. I decided to go around the bend and look. 20 minutes (and five bends) later I saw the log jam. On the way back to the boat I was busting through 6 foot tall grass and willows and wading in and out of the river when I came across . . . a grizzly print. A really big, made some time from that morning to yesterday afternoon grizzly print. It made the walk back to the boat a little more exciting.

A really, really good vacation - the end.
Spend a couple of days fishing the Big Hole RIver
Take a nice relaxing soak at Elkhorn Hot Springs
Fish the way home on a summer morning.
and finish up with a lovely invite from a lovely friend to go to a party on Canyon Ferry Lake where we spent the afternoon and evening tooling around on a jet ski and kayaking.

Men's and Women's Prayers
WOMAN'S POEM:
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong
One who loves to listen all day long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door.
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh, send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows the answer to 'how big is my behind?'
I pray that this man will love me to noend,
And always be my very best friend!
A MAN'S POEM:
I pray for a deaf-mute gymnast nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns a bar on a golf
course, and loves to send me fishing and drinking.
This doesn't rhyme and I don't give a shit

Best Song I've Heard This Week - and it's free!
This is NOT the clean version, which is available on iTunes.
But damn, don't it make you wanna dance?!

How I did not tear apart the space-time continuum today, thus destroying the world.
I decided at the last minute not to bring my Pirate Macbook to Steve's Old-Fashioned Barbershop so that I could edit digital photos while waiting for a haircut.
Tick Warning
This is the time of year to think of ticks once again.
If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!!
They only want to see you naked.
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday.** I feel so stupid. **

A joke
A guy walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Do you want to play a game? See those two rib-eyes nailed to the ceiling? You get to throw one dart. If you hit one, you get to take them home and I'll give you a free drink."
The man says, "No thanks, the steaks are too high."

The Netflix Box - It Rocks
$100 dollars and a Netflix subscription of at least $9 a month gets you access to unlimited movies that Netflix has available for instant viewing. Some are old and cheesy, but others are new.

A Fun Day on the Missouri River
The river is high and fast. We floated 15 miles in 3 hours.
We saw beaucoup bald eagles and heron and osprey and hawks.
Tom got to use the kayak and squirt gun to attack mountain cows on the bank.
Nica started to sing whenever I was in the kayak and got away from the raft. I think she's still a little stressed from fire works.
It was a wonderful day.
Want It!
Not for the faint of heart, Dickinson’s life-sized, gray-toned zombie will claw his way out of your garden plot or family room corner, pleading for assistance with the most lifelike eyes you’ve ever seen. His macabre expression is captured in such great detail in quality designer resin and finished so realistically that you’ll swear you can hear him breathing!

Renting Versus Buying
The math on the Paul McCartney-Heather Mills divorce is as follows:
After 5 years of marriage, he paid her $49 million. Assuming he got sex every night during their 5 year relationship (which would NOT have happened!) it ended up costing him $26,849 per time.
This is Heather.
On the other hand, Elliot Spitzer's call girl, Kristen, an absolute stunner with a body like no other, charges $4,000 an hour. For anything!
This is Kristen.
Had Paul McCartney 'employed' Kristen for 5 years, he would've paid $7.3 million for an hour of sex every night for 5 years (a saving of $41.7 million).
Value-added benefits are: a 22 year old hot babe, no begging, no coaxing, never a headache, plays all requests, ability to put BOTH legs around you (!!!), no bitching and complaining or 'to do' lists. Best of all, she leaves when you're done, and comes back when you ask her. All at 1/7th the cost, with no legal fees.
Sometimes renting makes far more sense.

The Dao of Pooh
When you discard arrogance, complexity and a few other things other things that get in the way sooner or later you will discover that simple, childlike and mysterious secret . . . LIfe Is Fun.
The clouds above us join and separate,
The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns,
Life is like that so why not relax?
Who can stop us from celebrating?

'The Boogie Man is Just Some Guy -- Until Night Falls'
For Sylvania Light Bulbs, JEH United/Bangkok created a spot that makes highlarious use of Thailand's mythological monsters. And one transvestite. The premise: when the lights are on, nothing seems to be scary. Slogan: "Light is your true friend."

Trolley to Trails 2008
Every Saturday from May to October there is a free trolley that leaves from downtown Helena and drops you off 7 miles back in the mountains so you can walk downtown. There's a 500 foot climb from the trailhead but after that it is mostly downhill. You can bring your bike (but not your dog).
I really like living in Helena.
I'll spare you the pictures of my blister.

New Term - "Asian Fail"
"A girl from high-scoring Lynbrook High, which is 74 percent Asian-American and 22 percent white, described being asked by the only non-Asian student in calculus whether she had “Asian failed” or “white failed” the test. At Lynbrook, an Asian fail is a B; a white fail is a D."

There is so much stupid in this story it makes my head hurt.
"To send a little white girl wearing this shirt into a very diverse district that is almost 90 percent nonwhite was not the way to address this word," he said yesterday. "It's a lightning rod."
A gym teacher noticed Jaiden's shirt and sent her to the principal, who asked her to change into a school shirt because hers was a "distraction," Williams said.
That violated Jaiden's First Amendment rights, said Tara Keenan-Thomson, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union's Nassau chapter. "All students have the right to wear what they want, and this does not stop at the school gates, regardless of content or how old she is," she said.
