What’s the expression? Oh yea, Free, White and over 21. I definitely fit that category!
I had dinner in Billings yesterday and I asked the waitress if there was a good bar downtown. She pointed to a joint across the street and said “that place is nice but it’s mostly a younger crowd” to which I replied “Oh, never mind, I only hang out with old people”. She peered hard through my sunglasses and the corner of her mouth curled up as she said “that was funny”. Forty years ago that would have been an I just got lucky moment :-)
I’m writing this post on a paper tablet in my lap as I roll along westbound through Montana, smack dab in the middle of Big Sky Country. The mountain ranges are so far apart that the sky really seems flat and expansive. It’s an amazing effect.
There’s no life experience better than being free in America, especially when virgin areas are presenting themselves to your eyes in magnificent glory.
Being old enough to appreciate it makes it better, being a white man means I’m hassled less, and it’s only costing me 12.50 per hundred miles :-)

Some very pretty pictures. Drive safe. No hitting deer or antalopes. They play all day you know.
Not to mention those darn roaming buffalo :-)
