Snow on the...

...mountains.

ME!

Saw Nick off this morning. People leave this town (wah!). Fortunately they end up coming back.

Many locals comment on the Missoula vortex that sucks people in and won't let them go. People come back to this town of high rents (compared to income) and few jobs, dreary winters... Just cannot sever the ties that bind them to the culture of Portland-lite. They even try to escape to Portland! And come back.

Nick is off to North Dakota and Florida. To misquote Bogart in Casablanca "we'll always have facebook".

As for the cool wonderful sleeping weather after the rains (got a deluge of 1/2 inch!)...

99º forecast next week.
