We stopped early today, having earned, we felt, a reprieve. In order to celebrate our new homeful status we splurged on a suite with a private whirlpool. We also quit the day while the sun still hung in the sky. Its majestic rays reminding us of a bright future hanging before us in the West. It also helps that we started driving early, after waking up in our car at 6:30AM.
Montana is a fascinating state. Here are some things you are likely to see in Montana: casinos, Ron Paul stickers, ugly people, letters on mountains, and casinos.
There was also this huge statue on the top of a mountain called Our Lady of the Rockies, a “non-denominational” statue in the likeness of Mary. She is dedicated to “women everywhere, especially mothers”. She's about the size of the Statue of Liberty.
My mother keeps insisting that we take pictures of horses for her. Most have managed to lightly prance out of view of the camera, but some view have been fixed forever in my mechanical eye. These picture are for her. Mom, if you actually want to see these towering beasts shod with iron and spirit, then click on the pictures to make them bigger.
These were beautiful golden bales of hay. They shone in the bright summer sun. Unfortunately, you'll have to use your imagination to see the shine. It reminded me of my own hair and subsequently of a boy who was in the booth behind ours who said “All blonds are retarded”. I should have given him what for.
It's hay. Freaking hay.
This is my driving thumb.
Isn't he charming?
Ninja picture!
Shucks!
These are crazy mountains. By crazy, I mean cool, but they don't show up well in this picture. So why are we showing it? Because it's crazy!
This is the end of day 7. We know we are two days behind, and we're trying to catch up. See you soon.

Beautiful Horses. Did you talk to them and asked them if they want to come to CT?
You write very well.
