"This would be a bustling Metropolis if not for Meth"

Notable moments from this past week
Within the first 15 minutes of being in the town I heard a recap of a failed suicide attempt from a woman to the cashier at the “grocery store” while buying a six pack, a pack of marlbro’s and some chips at approximately 2:00 pm.
Old shrivled man (who we were told would love to take us ice fishing) promptly and rudely denied my barely expelled (and polite) request to take us by telling me “he is not interested” at approximately 2:30 pm.
A formerly live tiger kept in glass case that was apparently a nuisance in some village so it was killed and donated…
16 weeks meat free.
We had some of the most rude, hateful middle school boys in the show, but one didn’t show for rehearsal and another quit three times. The third time we let him.
The bar (there were 2, a church and convenience store) had all men, one old woman with cousin it but blonde and leathery who showed the whole sausage fest of cowboys her tits through the window (Dave and I were THRILLED) and a young cute-ish bartender wearing a terrible yellow tank top in the snowy winter with a denim overall SHORT skirt outfit complete with frills on the almost non-existent skirt part. Wowza.
One of the kids asked us how old we were and a boy said “Dave is 100 and you are 19”
When we said what do you really think? They said “Dave is 42 and you’re 20”
I couldn’t stop laughing.
Switch to the BEST week we could have had ever.
Our family opened the door to us and exclaimed “A REDHEAD!” with joy and excitement. Best start of a week ever.
We made friends and went to a MERMAID bar. Twice.
They took us ice fishing.
They cooked vegetarian meals for me.
I got to play Bunko and ROCKED.
Doug’s parents came over and cooked us sourdough pancakes for breakfast and they were the freaking cutest people ever.
Lynn gave me a free pass to the awesome gym there.
During the audition my favorite quotes from one of the 107 (!) kids that auditioned said “I’maaronilikedinosaurs” and another said “I’m proud I have gum in my pocket”.
I also heard more asian jokes and stereotypes this week than ever. Pretty baller.
1 week until seeing Kyra, Liz, Katie and Caity in Missoula!
