Wildlife: A Bald Eagle was perched in a pine tree across the lake yesterday, taking a few soaring flights on occasion.

Weather: A beautiful moonlit night, followed by a sunny day -- house painting anyone?

Charity Alert: The Rainforest Site: Help Save Our Rainforests!

In the Community: The Discovery Auction could have been better attended, but they're rebuilding Highway 93 outside of the site where we held it. Sure was interesting negotiating my way through the reflector-posts while driving back in the dark -- couldn't see a damn thing except red-orange stripes!
Hockaday Museum of Art - Prime visual arts resource in Flathead Valley of Northwest Montana.

Media Watch: A Bollywood version of Witness. It was fairly sensuous for an Indian movie, and the hook of the plot made sense in an Indian context. (Reincarnated Buddhist Lama vs. Amish child.) They are both pretty lame dramas, but the handsome cop gets the gorgeous heroine at the end of the Bollywood flick.
NYC protests against Bush and the GOP, plus skeptic Michael Shermer in another ill-advised non-debate with a snake-oil salesman on CSPAN. Is it really discourse when nobody's listening?
Frank Frazetta; Painting With Fire -- a movie about one of my favorite artists on IFC. It kisses ass almost as much as it informs, but the influence of this man's work makes him deserve at least ONE film in his lifetime.
