I'm a big fan of my front yard but 'Uncle Gordon's' place south of Cameron in the Madison Valley is by far my absolute, hands down favorite place in Montana.
My dad and I were really good buds. We hung out a lot, traveled together often, and even did mundane errands together all the time. Then, I lost him in 2016 and everything changed.
Let's take a trip down memory lane, regardless of your age. If you've lived in the Bozeman area most of your life or your entire life, what things do you remember most fondly? Better yet...are any of them still here?
These posts are simply to compare symptoms with others who have fallen ill with COVID-19. The good news: Day 2 also had food delivery from Fabers and tons of garbage TV. The fever and body aches are still my biggest problem.
So, yeah. I'm vaccinated, booted and still very careful. Yet here I am, positive for COVID-19 and VERY SYMPTOMATIC, btw. Let me take you on the tour of what has happened.
This is my cat. This is dirty hockey gear. This is my cat face down in dirty hockey gear. It's so weird that you don't know if you should shoo him away or just turn your head and leave him me. So gross.
Montana State University is back in session and it's always fun to see what classes are now being offered that either weren't around when I was in college or just were not on my radar.
I can't take it anymore. There are just too many well-paying opportunities to pass up and we all know local businesses of every sector are desperate to hire additional staff. It won't be forever but money speaks to me and I'm ready to trade my off hours for an additional paycheck.
Jack Wolfe is no longer around but I live by so many of the things he taught me and surrounded me with. He traveled an enormous amount for NBC when I was young, so perhaps the short spells we spent together were more impactful.
We've got a ton of 'summer cars' in the Gallatin Valley. Not necessarily exotic or expensive (although there are those too), but Garage Queens that are driven in the Summer only and now is the time to get them road ready.
Some from Bozeman, some from other countries. Some beautiful, some just plain weird. I simply thought a peek into someone's phone camera gallery might be interesting.
This summer I was sitting at my desk at work checking out the latest "bozeman" related YouTube videos for anything interesting to like and share. What do I find?
