I decided months ago to only update this with Montana-related ideas. The weather in Pittsburgh today is "Montana-related" -- it was -9 when I rode to work this morning, a windchill around -25. I loved it, I'm just not sure if I really loved it or if I just loved the novelty of it. Can I do this with a smile for three months straight? It's hard to separate reality from romanticism. I've begun to cull together schools to apply to in Flathead County, Big Fork north to Whitefish.

The best part about this is that the high in Babb today will be a balmy 38. Remember, global climate change, not global warming.

Once again, I can't wait to get back.
