So what is the official date, can we start making travel plans? I definitely want to stay longer than the usual weekend trip for a wedding. Anyone else interested? I thought I'd talk to Madonna Boyle about planning my trip. It would be nice if we could travel together, but that may be tricky logistically.
Anyway I just bought my tickets to Bozeman for Thanksgiving and got a great price. Guess I should start looking at January/February in Houston next. I'd sort of like to drive to Houston so I could stop to visit my cousin in Oklahoma, but January may not be the best time to do that. I'll think about it some more.

Statement, one - love.

Has you question been answered?

Yes, it is.

Doh!

Is this the question game?

Is that a countdown to the wedding?

Which is all the more curious because she was at the library.

Some complete stranger just asked me to watch his bag inn the airport.

We never got to shoot things. We just practiced tying knots the whole time. But today I can still put on my own shoes.

Sign him up, esso! Best part is, it's only an hour a week!

Boy Scouts were recruiting today at school. Thomas said the first two things he likes is "shoot an arrow at a bulls eye" and "shoot a bee-bee gun". WhaT? where did that come from?

Boy Scouts are camping this weekend. Girls plus Nathaniel weekend!

Oh, I'm at work now, so most definitely.

AO, wouldn't you rather be at the mall shopping with Veronica and I?

'a broken airplane that is still on the ground.'

People get really really angry and rude when you try to take them off an broken airplane, and put them on one that works properly. It's really very funny.

Sounded good Lauren.
I just spent the evening listening to a pianist, wish I could have transported you up here to hear it. For his final number he had people from the audience give him songs and then he did a medley of them. He had to have played at least twenty minutes straight on that one medley. It was very impressive.

And this gem was in the obits:

As a native Bozemanite for 84 years, Arthur believed the City Commissioners have lost their minds. "WHO NEEDS A ROUNDABOUT!"

Hrm, my favorite creative spelling email I ever received made me close my eyes and sound out the words to figure out what they were supposed to be. In all fairness though, the person was writing because they were ceareaus about getting an education.

highlights from today's bozeman police report:

> A 28-year-old man was arrested after being seen taking money out of a wallet he found on the ground.

> A caller phoned police to complain that his father would not give him his trust fund money.

fancy words? I get all kinds of fancy words here are some examples from the papers I am grading right now: u, r, kuz, hier, siet, els, der (one of my personal favorites)"he should go somewhere else kuz they dont need him der"

Questions on how I graded,
Student: "So it seems like I understand the concept just fine, you just want me to use your fancy words."
Me: "Yes, exactly."

Adam & I have clean air-it's hot air-but i think it's clean and we ARE hosting Thanksgiving :)Come on down!

We have "moderate".

I'm sure the snow will clear the air by Thanksgiving. Locals guide came out this weekend...we're ready for snow!

anyone with some clean air hosting Thanksgiving?

unhealthy for sensitive groups.

So smokey here....no fires nearby, but the smoke is drifting in from across Montana. I can barely see the Bridgers. Any better air quality in Houston?

nice work Sarah! Under 2!

Thanks Edgardo. I got the CD out, tried Matthew's power cord, still have the same problem.

Sandy, you can open the drive with a paper clip and get the disk out... wondering if it is trying to boot from it...

Good fall festival weekend. AO won for the fastest female in the 5K saturday morning. Rita came in with a good time, third female to cross the finish line. Kamden did a wonderful job of entertaining us all. He's learned to give raspberries, and not just an occasional one. Matthew made us some wonderful barbequed ribs and chicken.

The bad news for this morning is that the computer Edgardo just fixed will no longer boot up at all, with a library CD in the disc drive of course. The good news is I found the back up drive this week so at least I know I have all the necessary information.

Ow. Ow. Ow. 1:59.59 by the clock

it was fun, thank you all.
