Montana Banana

I read somewhere that Missoula is located in the "Banana Belt" of Montana. This means that while the rest of the state is reliving the Donner Party experience in the midst of -30 to -45 degree arctic blasts, Missoula is basking in a balmy -20 degree heat wave.

Summer, however ...


One foot is stuck here in Eugene and the other is already firmly planted in Missoula (blessing the Tri-Cities of eastern Washington with a skyward panorama like that beneath the Colossus of Rhodes). With most of my belongings already in Missoula, and only eight days left of furious training for my replacement at work, the only minor item left is selling the house. Piece o' cake. Right? Right?? C'mon, it's on Friendly St.

On that note, I'm off to sleep on the floor.
