glacier_kittySince I'm reading the novel Hawaii by James Mitchener I decided to get Texas by him..a lot of his books are so long haha..it must take him a long time to write them haha. I also bought "No World Order" by Gamma Ray. I tried Falconer but I didn't like the singer's voice at the time..
When we think of Montana, the tourist attraction that of course immediately leaps into our minds is is the maggot races at the Town Club Bar in Three Forks. We are not making these races up. The maggots are provided by a man named Darrel Rafferty, owner of Raffety's Fishbait Company, which sells tubes filled with maggots for bait. So one day a customer was in the Town Club Bar, complaining to Raffety that he didn't get enough maggots in his tube, so Raffety said, okay show me--even though this was not his Official State Motto--and so the customer poured his maggots out on the bar, and some of the more dynamic ones started crawling away, and eureka (Greek, meaning "They probably had a few beers in them"), the idea of racing maggots to raise money for charity was born. They built a maggot racecourse and took bets and everything. We spoke to the Town Club owner, Phil Schneider, and he said they'd hold more races if tourists came around and created a popular demand. So we definitely recommend that you make this your first Montana stop. Don't set your food down on the bar. Other Montana attractions include nature and the headquarters of the world's largest intercontinental ballistic missile complex, where tourists are welcome to come in and spin the big "Select-a-Target" wheel
Today's Latin: donec eris felix, multos numerabilis amicos (as long as you are fortunate, you will have many friends)
