Wild Cards! – Feb 22, 2021
Krazy Pic 1 This is not our ‘normal’ Krazy Pic, but maybe it’s better?! I was attracted by the title: Death-defying mountain goats are seen climbing the steep dam wall in Italy’s Gran Paradiso National Park. HOW is this possible?? (Thanks to Richard Barger!) Krazy Pic 2 It would sure be RARE if this ever happened! …

Photo of the Week – Feb 8, 2021

KrazyPic1 Is this what they call self-referential? KrazyPic2 I love it when the rules are easy to follow! Cartoon of the week Remember Sally’s unrequited love for her ‘sweet babboo’ Linus? Or Charlie Brown’s adoration of ‘the little red-headed girl’? Or his despair at never receiving any valentines. Only Peanuts can capture so many of the emotions of …

More Funny Resolutions Perhaps you’ll remember my Open Challenge to Terry Goodman? It was immediately answered that day, and I gotta admit – the Master hasn’t lost his touch! See…

Photo of the Week – Jan 11, 2021
Young Missouri River – Near Helena, MT One of my most favorite (and often-shared) shots of the River from the entire seven-week trip! It helped me fall in love with the River – and the Big Sky Country of Montana! The shot was taken (in early Aug, ’16) just north of Helena, and though you’d never…

Photo of the Week – Nov 30, 2020
The (True) Headwaters of the Missouri River – Hell Roaring Creek Due to the way Lewis and Clark named the tributaries there, the Missouri River officially begins in Three Forks, MT roughly 100 miles away. But it is generally agreed Brower Springs (about halfway up Mt. Jefferson in the background) is the location of the…
