The Butte-hole of America!

Monday, June 25, 2007 Posted In Edit This 3 Comments »
As some of you may know Battle Mountain, NV was named the Armpit of America several years ago by a man who writes for the Washington post. Battle Mountain now has an Armpit Festival every year to celebrate the fact that their town stinks and it is sponsored by Old Spice. This is not the point of the story, but I figured I would give a quick prelude to my story.

On Friday June 22, 2007 Andrew and I drove through Butte, Montana. I was informed by Andrew that Butte has a copper mine in the middle of town that has a giant pit. This therefore makes Andrew believe that Butte truly is the butthole of America. Also a direct quote from him states, "Butte is a shitty place to live."

On Friday we arrived in Great Falls. This is where Andrew was born and raised. Since being here I have heard about the people roaming around with ankle bracelets and the restaurant that was closed because they were caught cutting cocaine in the kitchen and selling it out the back door. I'm not quite sure where he has brought me, but here I am and I won't be back to sanity (Winnemucca) until the end of next week sometime.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers... Andrew is going to show me more of Montana in the next few days and I am a little scared.

Oh god, I suck even more than I originally thought. I am so confused. I don't know which thingys my comments are going to. I'll figure it out one of these day.

Ok, ready for news? I changed my Winnemucca vacation to now be August 1st - 5th. Yea!!!! I was going to keep it a secret and tell Andrew, but so many other people in town know (including your mother) that I didn't think I'd be able to keep it a secret. The best part of that is now I'll be there the same time Lynn will be there. That means only 5 weeks and 2 days until I go to Winnemucca!!!!!!!!!! I think I might go down in history as the only person to ever be excited to go to Winnemucca. I think most people are excited when they leave. There's no place like home....

Over and out.

Poop-a-licious

Montana is so pretty! Have a great time on your trip!

We'll try to keep things under control here in Nevada while you're gone - although we're promising nothing - Lake Tahoe is already burning down in your absence...
