i hate to say given the crisis this did make me laugh....
we got a press release from the governor this morning stating that he was trying to offer up the Glasgow Air Force Base as temporary housing for up to 600 fmilies effective immedialy.
now this is great and im all for it but i had one thought that made me laugh. what a culture/enviromental shock this would be for 600 poor families. for those of you not familiar with northeast Montanas layout ill give yah some info. i live in a town of approximatly 3500 ppl, Glasgow has us beat by maybe 500 ppl. it is a 90 mile one way drive to the nearest Walmart, tack on 50 more miles for Glasgow. its September, last night it was probably 45 degrees out at 5 am when i took the darn dog out. this is the coldest its dropped so far this summer and i was a bit chilled standing outside in my boxers and i go swiming in 70 degree water on a 85 degree day. in another month or so it should start snowing. now can you imagine a bunch of big city southerners coming up this way? i couldnt help but chuckle.
