Mountains!

I'd first like to wish the man behind this Howard County Blog, David Keelan, the best of luck in his run for Republican Central Committee. Although I can't actually vote for him, consider this an Official Hayduke Endorsement of his candidacy.

Second, happy Independence Day! They're celebrating here in Bozeman; the chorus of fireworks -- technically illegal in the city but available at ubiquitous stands along major roads just outside of it -- went on all last night and is poised to do the same tonight. And from the balcony of the totally jive, western Victorian Hayduke Family Compound, pictured below, I've had a front row seat.

Finally, if for no other reason then the title of this post (clearly an excuse to post a picture anyway), here's a photo of the Bridgers, the mountain range just to the northeast of town, taken near the site of my sister's wedding.


Pretty.
