It is interesting to me that in this small town, people assume that you want to talk to them. I don't have anything against that, but having lived in a bigger town (not just Missoula, but Portland too) I have a certain resistance to talking to strangers on the street. Case in Point...
I was at the minimart today getting my customary Mountain Dew. I got into my car, started it up and then noticed a strange man ("strange" as in unknown to me, not weird or anything like that) walking toward my car and coming to a stop outside my passenger window. Several thoughts ran through my head like "who is this guy?" and " Does he think I am someone else?" and of course "No way am I getting carjacked in Mt. Morris, IL!!!". As it turned out, I rolled down my window and he told me he had noticed my Montana liscense plate and wondered where I was from. He was very nice and we had an interesting conversation for about 10 minutes. It just struck me that if I had been anyplace else, I wouldn't have opened my window to talk to him. That is what I like about small towns....
Update for the Sam fans:
Sam has been moved into all honors classes, except for his US History class. Yep, they seem to think he is a genius here....Well, a BIG Thanks to the Missoula County Public School System!
Update on the other Belleque's and Rogers:
Nick and Alena are settling into Wyoming. Working hard and helping out the grandparents!
Kris and Thomas are doing good...Kris has a job in a coffee shop! In Scott's Bluff! and get this, Thomas is looking into a job in an ARCADE! (a job made just for him!)
Oh, haven't seen the cranky squirrel lately...he must be going nuts! Oh, man, I crack myself up!
