Vacation! I’m An Old Cowhand Until July 6

Secondhand Smokette is at the end of her tether, I’m chomping at the bit, our youngest nephew has never seen the awesome beauty of the West, and the Big Sky Country of Montana is calling! (No, I will not be paying Judge McCarter a visit!) Time for some R and R in Missoula, Glacier National Park, and environs. Time for some horseback riding (sorry PETA), hiking, relaxing, and best of all, photography.

This is a good time to quote one of my favorite lines ever from Saturday Night Live, delivered by Mike Myers as the “verklempt” female talk show host:

Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island. Discuss

I’ll be back on July 6th, barring the unforeseen and assuming the cows come home. Y’all come back now: Hear?
