Christmas Tree at the Law School Library, U of M, Campus, is Made of Green and Red Law Books . . . Way Cool! Decked with White Christmas Lights! NICE.
I am reading the book, The Kennedy Detail, a book, published in 2010, from the men in the Secret Service, who tried or allegedly were to protect President John F. Kennedy, his wife, Jacqueline, and kids, Carolyn and John, John . . . this book was in the hundreds, donated to the Pov., so thanks whoever dropped them off, plus, thanks for all the nice scarves, knit hats, warm coats, gloves, and clothes, some of the homeless guys and gals, are looking down right styling! Good taste of donors . . . the Sach's Fifth Avenue of the homeless shelters, this Poverello Center. We even got a visit from Mayor Engen, making a donation last night, and is he looking good! I was reading just around the corner from, the front desk, and I heard some excited commotion, and learned that the Mayor was paying his Christmas respects, and took some valuable time, to talk to staff and a few others. But, at the first of every chapter, there is a quote, and I like, to often, put quotes at the start of each of my blogs . . . don't always, but here are few great ones from a great man! And, as I recall, both Jackie and Caroline, are bit on the flat chested side of the female figure . . . and in one of the chapters, the men, with the duty to protect, Mrs. Kennedy, had a hard time, keeping their eyes off, the First Lady, as she sat by the pool, in her strapless swimsuit, tanning, for her strapless gowns! Beauty is all in the eyes of the beholder!
- I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it. JFK
- If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's. JFK
- A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today--and in fact we have forgotten. JFK
- The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are. The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission. JFK
- Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. JFK
- The pay is good and I can walk to work. JFK

EVEN EUROPEAN AND RUSSIAN BIRDS ARE COMING TO MONTANA!
Cool article on rare bird sightings in Missoula and Montana in general, lately. Most birders have to go to the countries, the birds frequent, but, some rare species of birds, unique to Russia and Europe have stopped by this cold December, giving the Audubon Society, and bird watchers a rare treat, right here in River City, Play City, U.S.A., Missoula!
Bob Hosea's Amazing Christmas Photography!
My son, is an amateur photographer, and I keep telling him to come to Montana, the landscape is exquisite! And, in my very, very humble opinion, the pictures, Libby photographer, Bob Hosea, creates, taking a 50 pound, fake, lighted, Christmas tree, in his backpack, going to remote, lovely places, and sets up his photo art, is simply, MONTANA! My personal favorite, is Fishing with Christmas Spirit! Bob, hauls ass, and takes this Christmas tree--lighted, fully decorated--generator, everywhere, and places it in like a small fishing boat, with a snow man, and amazing beauty, snowy scenes, in the backdrops, creating some gorgeous art, started as a hobby, but is getting so popular, he is making a business of his work. There are 5 or so, pictures of Hosea's work . . . inspiring to say the least, and he loves, hiking alone, and getting into nature to take his magic!
