Day 251

More smoke…This is from a Red Cross Blood run from Missoula to Helena.  In Helena the street lights glistened like it was snowing on them… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 250

More smokey days last week…this is running into East Glacier…Glacier National Park is there somewhere… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 249

Coming back from a smokey trip to Calgary a week or so ago.  This is the treble in Lethbridge…there is suppose to be a town behind it. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 235

I got to drive a fairly new Mercury MKZ to East Glacier today.  It is a very nice car…but with the seat all the way back and down I had one inch of space between the headliner and my head, and I hit the front visor with my forehead…other than that… Well, it took about […]

Day 222

I got up early and dressed in the dark to be up at Avis at 7am.  I was shuttling a car up to East Glacier.  About half way to East Glacier I noticed… I think Lugnut is rubbing off on me… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 201

I drove a new model Ford Escape to Idaho Falls for Avis.  This sure is a lot different than the Escape I drove for the Government! This is the center of the dash in front of the driver.  Note the little car image and the shining headlights and tail lights.  This meant you actually had […]

Day 200

I drove a car to Idaho Falls on Sunday for Avis.  We ate at Subway.  We usually do…I wonder if Avis is a subsidiary…naw, I would think we’d get a discount… A Steak and Cheese (provolone and pepper jack!), toasted! ~Curtis in Idaho Falls!  {!-{>

Day 199

I have been driving blood around the State as a volunteer for the Red Cross.  This was the (I think…) 2012 Dodge Caravan on 9 April this year.  There are no tenths on the odometer…this was one of two vans.  The other had over 300,000 miles, and died while I was in Hawai’i.  This one […]

Day 195

I got to drive a Fiat 500L the other day.  An interesting little car.  It was very peppy, handled nice, and was very quiet.  It was a lot roomier than I expected, too!  This is a view of the front windshield and the side…vent?*…windows and the very flat windshield and deep dash that made it […]

Day 149

Well, after 28 1/2 years it is here.  I had my retirement lunch today at Bert & Ernie’s, and I am officially “off” the rest of the week. Cliff and Mark the “new” agents, and Larry, the “new” boss, who is using my retirement to return to /\/\onTana! as an Agent. (Photos: Nikon Coolpix P7100) […]
