would have made a great (personal) story if he'd brought skis and just decided 'eh wasn't planning on montana but i've never been before!', but yeah he was going to see his girlfriend.

as it is this isn't worth a news story, i mean i almost missed a connection in san francisco and the papparazzi won't leave me alone aboot it.

interesting that he didn't ask questions along the way, looks like the shoe-checking and the potential strip-searching latex-glove fear is keeping us all in line...

I really have to object to you calling Billings the butthole of Montana. I am pretty sure that is Browning.

Wouldn't it be Butte, Montana?

No, Butte is in a depression. And suffering from past mining mistakes, lots of them. Berkely Pit and arsenic in the water. Abandoned buildings and an economy in the dumper. BUT..

it is nothing like Browning, that place is digusting.

Clearly you people have never been stranded for three days in Livingston montana because your piece of crap car broke down and the only mechanic in town wanted to jack you for 3 grand to fix it so your father had to send a friend in a truck with a uhaul car towing trailer to pick you and your sister up after you've been driving from toronto for three days and all there was to do in the town was count how many trains went by.

18 trains.
