An Avis run to Kalispell: a small Pow Wow set up near Browning. The mountain in Glacier NP on the north side side of Marias Pass. Amtrak #8, Eastbound to Chicago! The Kalispell Airport just finished a big remodel, and in the Restrooms they have these for faucets…on the left is soap, the middle is […]

I had an Avis run to Kalispell.  I drove a late model GMC Yukon…it had 19,999 miles on it when I parked it, and generally un-helpful ergonomics (the hand hold to climb up into it was in the completely wrong place) but it did have an 11”x11” screen, or there ’bouts.  Nice! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana!

I had an Avis run to Kalispell.  Good old Amtrak Empire Builder #8, Seattle to Chicago, was just leaving Glacier National Park when we passed it. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

I had an Avis run to Kalispell.  Dramatic weather on the return trip.  Anything that looks wrong is probably a reflection or water spot on the car glass.  iPhone13 photos! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

A coupe of photos of a pet peeve of mine: Windmills.  Windmills are touted as environmentally friendly/responsible/cost effective…NONE of them would be up and running (when they do…ignoring required downtime for maintenance, the wind doesn’t always blow, even in /\/\onTana!) with out massive subsides.  The blades are only lasting half as long as predicted, at […]

While recently taking cars to Billings for Avis, we stopped in the Amish Deli & Market at Eddie’s Corner.  Real Wisconsin Maple Syrup!  The half gallon was about $35; I think the full gallon was $58… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

I drove a fairly new (2025?) Ford Expedition to Belgrade for Avis.  Instead of all of those buttons on the steering wheel for cruise, heat, lane controls, radio, and so on, it had two touch pads, basically unlabeled. When you touch them the choice of controls comes up on the screen above the steering wheel. […]
