Big Sky Country

A view of the Bozeman Trail from a scenic overlook on I-90 Eastbound just outside Bozeman, Montana.

A childhood memory for many Muckians!

Nooooooooooooooo!

"Noooooooooooo!" is what I wailed as the bowl I was drying flew out of my hands and landed on my favorite (and first) whiskey glass, from Clay Coyote Pottery. The cup was an unfortunate casualty of yet another dish-drying accident by yours truly.  I am about to enter into talks to voluntarily ban myself from that obviously dangerous activity.

I can almost hear Jack Nicholson yelling, "You can't handle the dishes!"

(For what it's worth, the cheap bowl I was drying survived unscathed.)

Amazing architects and builders!

Fall, when bean fields turn golden

Day One of the real "most wonderful time of the year"-- Autumn!

Love this glaze!

Oldest restaurant in Boston

Did not eat here, but visited. Like so much in Boston, it is rich with history. I would like to eat there one day. But I'm not one to eat six oysters in one sitting on a 95 degree day. Next time maybe I'll be with someone willing to share a half dozen.

Like anchoring a boat with dental floss

As we walked past I caught sight of this tiny chain on this huge and heavy iron gate. I thought the contrast was funny. I'm guessing this chain is not there for security.
