Montana is a beautiful land, made of white mud that induces splits if you're not careful, the magical Rockies with their vast single organism that we call Aspen trees (I still think of the soft drink whenever I read or hear that name), flat land that goes on and on for 3 days of driving and fields and fields, hills and hills...

It's easy to get complacent.  To even get cynical at all the varying sillynesses that domesticated primates do and think.
