Back on the EC...but maybe only for a short time (6-12months).
I was educated in Bozeman, worked and lived in Missoula and surrounding areas, and spent a few years in Helena.
hmmm, don't know how to reply to your thoughts.
But I'm confident in mine...
We loved the place more than all of Hawai'is Islands, Vermont, the Chesapeake Bay and Northern Ohio combined!
What does that tell you?
Riding out to Big Sky from Bozeman on 191 Friday night, I saw a young couple working a bit late in a John Deere 4240.
Courting perhaps, not sure.
He was loading the last of the hard cut hay bales onto a giant stack of other bales 3-4 bales high 400 feet long 2 courses deep.
He was trying to get the work done for the week.
She assisted him a loving companion loading the last dozen or so bales as the sun set, patient but anxious to start the weekend.
I could tell even from 500 feet away moving 45 miles an hour South, that gal loved that fella because he served a purpose.
I lived a similar way to that fella when I met my gal 15 years ago.
I've been drifting further and further away from that pure unfiltered innocence trying to keep up with the Joneses ever since.
IMHO, chasing the "FINANCIALLY SECURE AMERICAN DREAM" has lost it's luster, passion and intrigue due to the physical and mental cost imposed on the seeker.
I'll admit, it's brought us to the brink; until now.
Considering my unique, elite, unchallenged talents; I could make a killing out there in MT.
But I'm not big on killing.
I think it's best for the human psyche to find the proper balance of financial security and peace while we are invited to inhabit this ball of clay.
Living life without pretension is my goal.
Witnessed the other side and starting to plan a renewed life.
