Things I haven’t seen in New England:
1. a large pick up truck parked by the river, the top of its front windshield stenciled in white block letters, “ELKAHOLIC”.
2. a motorcyclist with three stuffed teddy bears in the basket behind his seat.
3. a very large billboard next to a very small cafe announcing, “WEDNESDAY IS MEAT LOAF DAY”.
It’s impossible to take pictures and drive on a mountain road at the same time. I’ve tried it. Better to keep both hands on the wheel. Which is why I have no photos for this blog post.
I love quirky signs. I frequently make Glen pull over to the side of the road so I can take pictures. Here’s one of my Montana favorites:
I’m not sure how the bulldozer, Levis and mini-storage all fit together, but it’s terrific.
And this one was taken in front of the local ACE hardware store. Fortunately I could pull into the parking lot, because my chauffeur was back at the house partying with his siblings.
Doesn’t this make you want a latte?
Tomorrow I will explain the Art Of Going To The Dump. I’ll bet you can’t wait. You may not sleep tonight thinking about it, but please. Try to control your excitement.
is there any more pie? 
Kris, can’t wait to hear about the dump. Last week I introduced my grand-daughter’s friend, Carly, to the “library” at the dump here. I dropped off magazines and left with a Mary Higgins Clark. I try to leave empty handed, but some times I can’t control myself. Each of the girls found something too. Have a great day. Mary Burgess
Our dump doesn’t have free books, but the community center does. Like you, I try not to pick up anything, but there’s always something…
I think our SK dump library is pretty unique. And it even has its own building. I’ll have to take pictures of it when I get back.
Hope you are having a good summer!!
