Well Said -- July 3, 2021

Another reminder: keep your gas tanks full. Service stations are going to be running out of fuel by Monday, July 5, 2021.

Tonight: NBA basketball. Conference championship series continues. But also playing, Beetlejuice (Beetle Juice -- what an interesting cast), and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Decisions, decisions. And, of course, auto racing. Hulu.

*******************************
Flathead Lake, Montana

The "family home" is on Flathead Lake -- wow, talk about beauty and "serenity/tranquility .. which word to use --- google ... the difference between tranquillity and serenity is that tranquillity is the state of being tranquil while serenity is the state of being serene; calmness; peacefulness.

Well, that was helpful. Not.

Whatever.

If we need anything of consequence (more than beer and bread) we need to drive fourteen miles north to Kalispell, and another three miles through the town to get to the big box stores on the north side. 

The answer?

Amazon.

The UPS trucks makes a regular tour through our housing area every night dropping off what we need. 

And that folks, is a match made in heaven. 

Tonight I ordered non-perishable staples for the folks at the "family home." The supplies will arrive in a couple of days. No one out there knows this stuff is coming, but they will appreciate it when it arrives.

For readers, I have returned to north Texas after a long week on Flathead Lake, but I will be returning to Lakeside, Montana, in late July for a longer stay this time. 

What a great country.

Later. See first comment:

    1. Well done ... serenely tranquil.

      And you are so correct about the sunsets. If "we" had not evolved, who would be around to enjoy those sunsets ... the sunsets are simply sublime ... it begs the question ... Darwinian evolution or evolution by intelligent design?

  2. Would have to go with intelligent design. Makes no sense to create Montana without allowing someone to enjoy it

    1. I have to agree. And I've thought about it often.

    2. I understand evolution but when I see a male wood duck and a male mallard in the wild, one just wonders, "why"? They are so incredibly beautiful.

  3. Have you noticed in the animal kingdom, its the male that gets all the color, flash, bright feathers- But with humans it is the female that is glamourized, and properly so for the most part.

    Tis interesting that no matter the species, us males end working our butts off to impress a female. Some things never change
