Wildlife: Awoke in the night last Friday to the sounds of loud splashing and growling cats. I went outside with a flashlight, and there were a half-dozen baby racoons sitting in our box feeder, devouring the sunflower seeds. We took their picture as they posed for us. Mama Racoon was down on the lawn, and yes, the box feeder was EMPTY in the morning. They haven't been back since. (We've refilled it!)
Yesterday there were two sightings of Osprey fishing.
This morning a huge Bald Eagle perched itself on the west side of Middle Foy's Lake.

Weather: Generally hot, but this is Montana -- some scattered leaves are turning yellow and red.

Media Watch: What am I reading? Juggling three books, and I can't remember a single title.
The art museum's website is up-to-date: Hockaday Museum of Art - Prime visual arts resource in Flathead Valley of Northwest Montana. We've been working our tails off there!
I've re-listed the Northwestern Montana Historical Society's Looking Back on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6912861292
Ridiculous -- Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital was put out of it's misery the other week, with a re-animator hook in it's tail. (Leave this zombie in the ground!) That decapitated guy never got his head back either -- too bad -- Jesus II shoulda performed a miracle for him when he was resurrected. ABC.com: Kingdom Hospital
Sublime -- Trio Network re-ran Lonesome Highway, A History of Country Music, which was actually produced by BBC Bristol. There was some good footage of Hank Williams, Lefty Frizell, and others. They skipped a lot of the popular side of the industry in favor of a few key figures, and finished the series with alotta praise heaped upon Gillian Welch. I saw her live in Salt Lake a few years ago, and she was PHENOMENAL!
TRIO: pop, culture, tv.
