Okay, I'm home and knackered. I left Denver sometime yesterday and, not having slept a wink on the Trans-Atlantic flight, I'm not sure how long I've been awake. Let's see...I got up in Denver yesterday at 6.30 a.m. their time....which would have been 1.30 p.m. our time and it's now 8 p.m.....so that's...um...18 and a half hours ago? Is that all? The plan is to stay up for another couple of hours before, hopefully, getting a good night's sleep and starting work tomorrow.
Anyway, it was another brilliant trip and I had a ball. You know you're in Montana when...
...a pick-up overtakes you with a dead buffalo in the back.
...you see a store sign which reads "Cheapest Ammo In Town".
...there's a store called "Pawn 'n' Guns".
As always, the people out there were friendly beyond belief and we heard the question "So where are you guys from?" everywhere we went. This was always followed by a genuinely warm and welcoming conversation. For those of you who are interested---and have a spare few minutes---google The Occidental Hotel in Buffalo, Wyoming, to see where we stayed last Thursday night. (Previous guests include Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!) The owner was a six foot four musician/writer with a stetson who couldn't have been nicer to us. Oh, and it was a Cajun/Country jam session night! I managed a few yee-ha's.
Okay, now I'm off to try that sleep thing...

Sweet dreams, with visions of cow chips dancing in your heads.

Welcome home, Roger. I'm going to Google "Occidental Hotel in Buffalo" now :-)

And just what is wrong with Roger's compact (smaller than the pinhole camera) digital (uses his fingers) Box Brownie? just point and click (remembering to actually press the shutter button down).

Well, I DID buy a $7 disposable camera and do some pointing and clicking but I'll have to get it processed before finding someone to post the results on here...

Roger, You do know we have photo processing options here in the UK. You don't have to send them to Canada for Diane to process and post them on here.
Diane, you don't have to do all Roger's work.

Well someone has to get all the chewing gum off from underneath the bar tables...on her birthday.
