No title.

I hate coming up with creative and catchy titles... this entry won't be getting one... cuz I'm not feelin' it.



Moving on...

So, our ancient, but hearty (hey it lasted almost 15 years and these days that's a LONG time) DVD player finally bit the dust the other day, so I've been forced to rely on Netflix while I lie around (such a hardship ;-p).

Anyway, last night whilst waiting to go to the airport to retrieve The Lovely Barbara, I came across 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'... I freakin' LOVE that show!... but in particular the bicycle scene... not to mention that it was filmed in one of my most fave places on the planet... right outside Zion National Park in the ghost town of Grafton, Utah (went there all the time as a girl).  Love the song, too... listened to it over and over on the 8-track when I was a kiddo.  I remember when I was young though that something always troubled me about Butch and Etta (Paul and Katharine) cruisin' around the apple orchard because I was worried about the chemistry between them... I couldn't stand the thought of Etta cheating on The Kid.  Watching it for the first time since I was VERY young last night, I sort of wish she'd "met Butch first"... he was a pretty nice guy.

Lake McDonald, Montana

Have I ever talked about my thing for rocks?  Have had it since I was a little girl.... loved to collect rocks and go to rock shops.  I even have a few sitting next to my bed (nothing bigger than what fits in the palm of your hand) right now that've caught my fancy the last year or so... or that someone's given me.  Like the small white one Ally gave to me from our trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, at the Quileute Indian Reservation beach (okay, yeah... so it was really to see 'Twilight' country, but we saw some pretty amazing scenery as well)... and then a black rock Rob found on our trip to the Oregon Coast last year. Anyway... there's this lake in Montana ... Lake McDonald ... obviously from the subject heading... and it's got shores of brightly-colored rocks.  So guess what got added to the bucket list as soon as I saw the photos?  Yep... I will go there... for the rocks.... just to see the pretty colors.
