Toward the end of the Sunday service the minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?" 80% held up their hands. The minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one man, Walter Barnes. The minister said, "Walter, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?" "I don't have any," he replied gruffly. "That is very unusual. How old are you?" "Ninety-eight," he replied. The congregation stood up and clapped their hands. "Oh, Walter, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?" Walter tottered down the aisle, stopped in front of the pulpit, turned around, faced the congregation, and said, "I outlived all them assholes." Then he calmly returned to his seat.

03/23/21 Not Spring Quite Yet

After 2 weeks of warmer weather lulling into thoughts of a very early Spring, I awake today to an inch or two of new snow. A simply outstanding view to wake up to. To paraphrase John Muir ... /"Whitefish Mountain is calling, and I must ski"/

03/20/2021 Jim and Sandy thru the Looking Glass

It has been a year and half since we visited the east side of the park. Don't usually go there in the winter, and since last summer all public roads on the east side of the park were closed to all but essential travel as part of the Blackfeet Nation lockdown. Last Thursday the closure restrictions on the reservation were lifted!!! Sandy and I went over with the bikes on Saturday and were greeted with incredible sights. The weather the last 2 weeks have been warmer than normal. Looking Glass highway was still closed for the winter, but the pavement was almost completely snow free and dry. This meant we could bike the road with no cars -- fantastic! Looking Glass Highway is quite special, as it is the course for the June Glacier Half Marathon which I have run all 3 times it was held. It is scheduled for June 26 this year, so this provided a chance to scope out the course. Not that I've forgotten an inch of it. I've run various half marathons for 35 years on all different types of courses, and Looking Glass Highway is far and away the most scenic one. Montana Hwy 49. Looking Glass Highway. The winter closure is just after the Two Medicine turn off. In the photo there are two cars parked next to the barricades. Blue sky with the ever present east side breeze, maybe about 40 degrees. Sandy is ready to go! We are not going in to Two Med, as that road is covered in ice and snow. Just here for the photo. We have the road to ourselves. We saw a total of 4 other people. This is our view as we bike up. Lower Two Med Lake is frozen solid. Scenic Point to the left, and Sinopah Mountain <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinopah_Mountain> is in the middle. Big Sky country. You should really see what it looks like in person! Further up the road, on our left framed by the trees is Scenic Point, one of my favorite early season hikes. The Poor Pensioner Sandy, a bit warmer after some uphill biking. This photo was as we were going up. Though we were in the sun, the wind kicked up and it started snowing on us, so we turned around ... Same location for a photo, 20 minutes later. Very cool watching the storm come in. Start of the drive home, treated to more great clouds. If the weather is good next weekend I'll have to come back and run up to the pass. Looking forward to that.

Why do most engineers wear short sleeves? Their wives want them to learn to use Kleenex. Why do some engineers wear long sleeves? Their wives gave up.

Where does a T.Rex buy a handgun? At a small arms store.

The photo is of my second shot of the day — Scotch! My first shot of the day was Pfizer. Seemed worthy of celebrating.
