Who said I was laughing, I said I loved it! I live in Vaughn Montana where
the power goes out on a weekly basis. I wouldn't know how to act if my
power didn't go out frequently. The last long spell was about a month ago
when it went out for about 12 hours. Big deal, fire up the woodstove and
the lantern and read a book. I just love it when tree huggers get their
trees cut down by beavers.
That beaver helped the trapper more than he'll ever know Sean, spare
his musky little life!
Vaughn Montana, by the way, is named after Robert Vaughn who wrote the
book "Then and Now" if anyone wants a good read. It was out of print
forever till recently when some college started reprinting it in
paperback It is an interesting book to read. The Vaughn home is just
down the block from mine. At one time it was the northern or
northwestern most homestead in Montana or something like that. Anyway,
he has the wonderful town of Vaughn Montana named after him. Located by
the Sun River , or Medicine River in fur trade era. I love this Sun
River Valley!
