Costco really should give out numbers at their tire center. You pick a number when you go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and you also pick a number at Economical’s deli department so you’ll know when it’s your turn to be served. It makes everything nice and efficient; there’s no rushing to get a […]
I wish the snow outside would stick. As I watched it swirl out of the sky, I reminisced to myself about my first experience with snow. At first I didn’t like it. It was cold and messy on my paws and I kept trying to shake it off, but then I adjusted to it, and […]
A watched pot never boils. If you’ve ever boiled an egg, you know this is true. You wait and wait and wait, and nothing happens until you walk away. Then, voila! The water starts bubbling like crazy, and in 10 minutes (13 minutes in Kalispell, higher elevation instructions for hard-boiled eggs), you have eggs […]
Heading into the Clouds How would you feel if the sun was shining, your family was bored, and all you could come up with, for fun, was to take a ride to look for a hose tower? I mean…it was something I wanted to do, but, eventually. I didn’t think I wanted to waste a […]

Well, it just goes to show you that “What Goes Around, Comes Around”. Last summer we stopped to listen to a ranger talk at Logan Pass. The nice ranger was speaking to tourists about climate change, which I consider newspeak for global warming, and spouting the standard rhetoric about shrinking glaciers. Don’t get me […]
The Porter Ranch Barn Barns remind us of our country’s rural past as the American spirit shines through dilapidated and weathered facades stirring our imaginations with visions of a different era; of an independent people forging their own way in a land of opportunity. It was a glorious fall day when […]
The leaves have turned yellow, and the street sweeper comes by everyday to vacuum up the leaves. My winter coat is beginning to grow in, and I spend my days sleeping in front of the space heater. Halloween is a only a few days away. The annoying human dressed me up as a witch so […]
When I say “fall”: what comes to mind? The foods, the holidays, the colors of nature, and the smells. No other season’s smells are quite as delicious, heartwarming, and comforting as the scents of fall. Autumn represents comfort. It’s a time when everything slows down and returns to its humble roots after the […]
Oh boy! I’m so excited. My adopted mommy brought home some super duper cat nip that had me doing flips. She usually gets the cheap stuff at Walmart and it doesn’t do a thing for my refined taste. Yesterday, my adopted mother picked up some high quality catnip that she intends to give as a […]
