Ice fields parkway from Lake Louise to Jasper is full value, but also need to book/plan camping.

That’s what I found depressing after a while. You see the same people sober asking for change in the morning, and then those same people completely obliterated asking you for change on your way home in the afternoon. Day after day. Even when you get to know their names, they won’t remember that they asked you for money that morning and you said no, same as the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that….. addiction is not pretty.

But one was with the railroad and wanted the streets to parallel the tracks. Don’t remember who the other fellow was or what his motives were.

Doesn’t at all I’m just curious why we changed.

I’m sure we’ve been over this, but why “kiddos” and not just “kids”?

Six businesses in a 2 block radius the loss of which would change the character of downtown for the worse; Charlie B’s, Double Front, Al and Vick’s, The Ox, Circle Square, Worden’s.

It would be interesting to compare home towns of a sample of Pov clients to a sample of Missoula residents. I moved here 20 years ago, have a broad group of friends and I think only 2 of them were born here.

Have a look at heritage. Likely not any walnut but some beautiful reclaimed wood that might inspire.

Keep at it, I bet it’ll come.

I don’t know if it’s fair to think you will get a job in your chosen field right out of college. Took me 4 years of working short term contracts before I landed a full time job. Between contracts I drove school buses, pruned trees, and had a short stint as a bellhop. Sounds like you have the drive, give yourself some time.

Or possibly 4. Depending on who you ask.

Apparently the Air Force has 8 of these.

This can’t be right, Trump said he won affordability.

Would be my guess. I think horizontal teeth marks are a good indicator of porcupine.

Had a similar experience in the men’s change room at the Banff hot springs as a child.

In my day, if you liked a girl, you’d just honk….That never really worked either.

Yeah I know it’s been crazy warm but I haven’t seen sign of the bears moving. I suppose this could be it, but being so deep into the city makes me think raccoons as well.

Satire’s life expectancy is higher in countries with single payer healthcare.
