MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL--I TURNED INTO MY MOTHER AFTER ALL. LOVE THE PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE ADS--WE CAN'T HELP YOU TURING INTO YOUR PARENTS, BUT WE CAN . . . LOL. HOT RACE HERE IN MONTANA! JUST IN TIME--THINK TRUMP IS HERE TODAY. NOW, TESTER IS MY KIND OF POLITICIAN. SIX YEARS AGO, WHEN, I FIRST GOT RAN OUT OF UTAH, AND CAME TO MONTANA FOR THE FIRST TIME--IT WAS THE 2012 ELECTION CYCLE, AND I SAW A CAMPAIGN AD FOR SENATOR TESTER. IT DIDN'T CLARIFY WHETHER HE WAS A DEMOCRAT OF A REPUBLICAN. A BAD ASS CON LAW CHICK CAN SWING BOTH WAYS AND GENERALLY DOES, BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION IS ALREADY A COMPROMISE, SET UP FROM THE GIT-GO WITH BUILT IN CONFLICTS OF THE THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT VYING FOR POWER AND PROTECTION OVER THEIR PARTICULAR DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES! I HATE THE POLITICIANS, WHO PUT A FINGER IN THE AIR, AND TEST THE POLITICAL WIND, THEN, VOTE ACCORDINGLY, OR THEY FOLLOW THEIR LEADERS IN LOCKSTEP--OR EVEN WORSE, THEY ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR OWN POLITICAL FUTURES TO VOTE THE OWN GODDAMNED CONSCIENCE! TESTER IS NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE AND FOR THAT THE STATE OF MONTANA IS BLESSED! WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP APPOINTED A NEW VA DIRECTOR, AND TESTER GOT WIND OR A LETTER FROM A DOZEN OR MORE VETS, WORRIED ABOUT THE DRINKING ISSUE AND OTHER, MORE PERTINENT ISSUES PERTAINING TO HIS TENURE AS A MILITARY DOCTOR, TESTER WENT TO BAT FOR HIS CONSTITUENTS, MANY OF WHOM ARE VETERANS, WITH MONTANA, HAVING EITHER THE FIRST OR SECOND HIGHEST PER CAPITA VETS IN THE COUNTRY. HE BEAT TRUMP, AND THE MAN WAS NOT CONFIRMED OR HE WITHDREW HIS NAME! THAT IS WHO WE PROTECT SERVICES BY THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS, AND CLEAN THE SWAMP OR KEEP THE SWAMP RATS OUT BEFORE THEY EVEN NEST IN THE SWAMP! THE GOOD SENATOR, ALSO STOOD STRONG ON NOT VOTING TO CONFIRM, NOW JUSTICE CAVEMAN! HE ALSO KNEW THAT THERE WOULD BE POLITICAL FALL OUT FOR THAT VOTE TOO, WITH TRUMP HITTING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR REPUBLICANS! I ENDORSE THIS SENATOR! HEALTH CARE AND PUBLIC LANDS ARE HOT TOPICS IN MONTANA! SENATOR TESTER GOT HIS HAND CHEWED UP IN A MEAT GRINDER OR GRAIN SILO MACHINE OR SOMETHING ON HIS FAMILIES FARM--I CAN'T RECALL WHAT HE REFERRED TO HIS PARENT'S INSURANCE AS, "LAZY INSURANCE" OR SOMETHING, THAT DIDN'T COVER OR PARTIALLY COVERED, EXTENSIVE SURGERY TO KEEP WHAT THEY COULD OF JON'S HAND! THE MAN IS PROVEN TOUGH! HE IS ALSO A LOCAL. MONTANAN'S DIG THAT. HIS OPPONENT IS NOT! VOTE. I AM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA LAW SCHOOL, TYPING THIS BLOG--SIGN ON THE DOOR, "YOUR VOTE MATTERS!" I WILL BE AT THE POLLING BOOTHS AT THE FAIRGROUNDS ON TUESDAY! IN THE 2016 ELECTION, I TALKED BRIEFLY WITH A 90 SOMETHING YEAR OLD LADY--HER HUSBAND, NOW DECEASED, CAME HOME THEIR FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE, AND SAID, DO YOU WANT TO GO VOTE? WHY? HE SAID THERE IS A HOTLY CONTESTED, BATTLE OVER THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD CHAIRMAN OR WHATEVER--OH, OKAY. THAT OFFICE WAS WON BY "ONE" VOTE! SHE ALWAYS FIGURED IT WAS HER VOTE THAT PUT THE PERSON OVER THE EDGE AND INTO OFFICE! YOUR VOTE MATTERS! THIS GOOD WOMAN, HAS VOTED IN EVERY ELECTIONS SINCE THAT DAY, AND HAS VOLUNTEERED AT THE POLLING BOOTHS FOREVER NOW TOO! EVERYDAY HEROES. DOUG'S SHOOTIN' SPORTS. WINDOW WORLD. TRUE VALUE. EXTREME PAINTBALL. LEGEND. WHILE BRAZIL IS A DEMOCRACY, MORE AND MORE, AUTHORITATIVE LEADERS ARE CROPPING UP AND WINNING ELECTIONS. GERMAN CHANCELLOR, ANGELA MERKEL, IS NOT RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION! SAD. DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK, DAILY, FROM RUSSIAN NOW CHINA AND EVEN FROM OTHER DEMOCRACIES LIKE, ISRAEL. MSNBC, MY NEWS OF CHOICE, SHOWED, A SPEECH, PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE TO THE U.N. HE RAMBLED ON ABOUT CHINA GETTING INVOLVED IN OUR ELECTIONS. IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THE REACTION OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT'S REPRESENTATIVES . . . HE LOOKED OVER AT ONE OF HIS COLLEAGUES, AND JUST RAISED HIS SHOULDERS, LIKE, SO WHAT! YOUR VOTE. USE IT OR LOSE IT! NOW SWIMMING ALLOWED. TUFF SHED. FOSTER CARE. IMAGINE SAVING LIVES. MAVERICK. SKILL STAFF SAW. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TRAINING--HOW TO ELIMINATE A POLITICAL OPPONENTS: (1) 24/7 SURVEILLANCE ON THEM; (2) USE INTEGRATED MAPPING, TECHNOLOGY, MIX, MATCH AND ATTACH; (3) MY DATA SPACE ON MY STRAIGHT TALK CELL PHONE WENT FROM BEING ABLE TO HANDLE LIKE, 123 TEXT MESSAGES, DOWN TO ABOUT 74, TO THIS WEEKEND, TEXT BOX MESSAGES, BLOCKING ME EVERY 4 OR 5 TEXT, SAYING MY TEXT BOX WAS 100% FULL AND TO CLEAN OFF OLD TEXTS? WHAT? (4) ON HALLOWEEN, I SENT, A FUN, MESSAGE ABOUT GHOSTS AND GOBLINS, SHAKERSPEARE'S MACBETH THREE WITCHES, WARNING FAMILY TO WATCH FOR FLYING WITCHES AND WARLOCKS! ALL THE SUDDEN, ANOTHER TEXT BOX MESSAGE CAME UP . . . SEND WITHOUT SAVING: YES OR NO. WHAT, I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. I COULD NOT SEND IT WITHOUT CHOOSING ONE OF THE OTHER . . . IF I SAID YES, THEN, THERE WAS NO RECORD OF THE FUN HALLOWEEN TEXT, AS PROOF OF WHO MY CHILDREN ARE. IF I HIT NO, THEN THE WHOLE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS, WITHOUT EITHER SAVING OR SENDING! I SENT ONE, AND THEN SENT ANOTHER ONE. FROM ABOUT, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31ST, TO NOW, THERE ARE NO SAVED MESSAGES, NOR PROOF THAT THERE WAS ANY CONTACT WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS! WE WERE TRYING TO ASSIGN THANKSGIVING DINNER ATTRACTIONS, PLATES AND VARIOUS SUNDRY ITEMS . . . AND COULDN'T. (5) DURING THIS ATTEMPT ON BOTH ACCOUNTS, AND I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE . . . THERE ARE DOUBLE ENTRIES IN MY CONTACT LIST OF MY CHILDREN! I BELIEVE, THAT AS I SEND A TEXT MESSAGE, GENERALLY ON EITHER A HOLIDAY OR A BIRTHDAY, THAT, THE MESSAGE IS STOLEN, AND IT COMES FROM, A CLONE PHONE, AS IF, ONE OF THE SURROGATE MOTHERS, THE TV MOM, OR THE GOVERNMENT DOUBLE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF MAKING IT LOOK LIKE, I AM NOT THE MOTHER, NOR THE ATTORNEY, NOR THE GRANDMA NOR THE BLOGGER, ETC. USING SMART TECHNOLOGY, TO CONFUSE EVEN THE BEST OF AGENTS! (6) I DID MY NORMAL, GREAT ESCAPE, WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE--SORRY--BUT NECESSARY . . . I CAN JUST FEEL THE HEAT RISING AND THE PLOTS THICKENING! THERE WERE OUTRIGHT ATTEMPTS, TO FUCK WITH ME, STARTING THE DAY I GOT BACK INTO TOWN, HAVING TO USE, SEATTLE COPS, COVERING MY ASS, TO EVEN MAKE IT TO UTAH IN THE FIRST PLACE--ALWAYS IN THE MOST DANGER WHEN, I AM TRAVELLING! YESTERDAY WAS NO DIFFERENT. SO AS A NICE GESTURE, THE MORMON BISHOP IN MY DAUGHTERS AREA, CAME TO VISIT, BUT, AGAIN I LOOK FOR WHAT IS NORMAL AND NOT NORMAL, BUT GIL ALMQUIST, A CITY COUNCILMAN, RUNNING FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER, DID A SURPRISE VISIT, NOT AS A CANDIDATE, BUT AS A STAKE PRESIDENT, WHICH, TO ME, LOOKED, LIKE A CROSS OVER BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE, KNOWING THAT, MOM HAS THE BIGGEST BLOG IN THE FUCKING UNIVERSE! SUCH A NICE MAN. I DIDN'T GOT OUT TO MEET THEM. THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH, MY PRACTICE OF LAW, BACK IN 2010, THERE WAS NO "SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE" AND HERE IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN UTAH! SCREAM. NOW, THIS COULD BE PERFECTLY LEGIT, IF GRETA AND HER HUSBAND, DALLAS WERE NO LOCAL SOCIAL STARS, WRITERS, JOURNALISTS, WITH A PENCHANT FOR, TAKING ON COLLEGE ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAYORS OF ST. GEORGE, PAST, PRESENT AND MAYBE FUTURE! STAY HOME, NEXT TIME GIL! LOOKS VERY SUSPICIOUS? BUT MY MIND GOES TO HIS CONNECTIONS TO COPS, PROSECUTORS, AND JUDGES, JUST ONE HAPPY REPUBLICAN FAMILY, IN THE REDDEST STATE, IN THE REDDEST COUNTY IN THE STATE! IT HAS BEEN SIX YEARS, SINCE LEAVING UTAH, OR HAVING EVERYTHING STOLEN, WITH RAIDS FROM THE MORMON CHURCH, AND REPUBLICAN LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY, DOING WHAT I WOULD CALL, A MASSIVE, DEEP AND WIDE CONSPIRACY TO RUN ME OUT OF TOWN, STEALING $700 MILLION WORTH OF LAWSUITS, ALL ABOUT COMING TO FRUITION AND TAKING A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF FURNITURE, CLOSING DOWN MY LAW PRACTICE, STEALING ART, AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS NOT PERTINENT TO THE LAND, OR REAL ESTATE! ALL COMPLETELY ILLEGAL, UNLAWFUL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND CRIMINAL! PERIOD! DO I TRUST THIS REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD? NO, IT IS LIKE TRYING TO TAKE A FLYING LEAP THROUGH A ROLLING DONUT! SO, COMING OVER IN THE GUISE OF A STAKE PRESIDENT, SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME! IT IS HALLOWEEN! MY SISTERS, HAVE BEEN WEARING MY IDENTITY MASK FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS! IT WAS EXACTLY 6 YEARS AGO THIS TIME, THAT, I WAS SENT TO SENATOR TESTER'S HELENA OFFICE THEN, TO MISSOULA OFFICE, TO MEET WITH HIS PEOPLE. HE SAW MY RESUME, AND MENTIONED THAT, IF HE WON, DENNY RHEINBERG, OR WHATEVER, HE WOULD LIKE ME IN HIS WASHINGTON, D.C. OFFICE, BUT HE HAD TO WIN FIRST! BY THEN, ABOUT, 6 MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL MEETING, AND UP IN KALISPELL, MONTANA, I WAS SO IN LOVE WITH MONTANA, YOU COULDN'T HAVE PULLED ME TO THE CESSPOOL FOR A BILLION DOLLARS! LOL. SO, WE HAVE COME FULL CIRCLE. I KNEW THE STORM CLOUDS WERE MOUNTING, AND WE ARE TALKING MURDER OR PERMA JAIL FOR WHAT, BEING A POLITICAL OPPONENT? GET SERIOUS, YOU SHOULD LOCK UP HALF OF THE REPUBLICAN SHERIFF'S OFFICE, MAYORS, PROSECUTORS, CITY COPS, ALL THE WAY UP TO THE UTAH GOVERNOR AND ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, IF NOT MITT ROMNEY HIMSELF, AS WELL AS THE MORMON PROPHET, MONSON, I UNDERSTAND, THAT, HE DIED AND NOW, IT IS DR. NELSON? NOR DO I CARE! THIS IS STATE BUSINESS. MORMONS AND REPUBLICANS IN UTAH, ARE THE SAME! SO, ALL DID NOT BODE WELL WITH ME AFTER THE VISIT! I CANCELLED MY SUMMIT MEMBERSHIP, AND TOOK SALT LAKE EXPRESS OUT OF TOWN, ON THE FIRST RUN OF THE DAY, OR THE 9:45 AM RUN! (7) FROM THE TIME THE TICKET AGENT, SCHEDULED MY TICKET AND PRINTED OUT MY ITINERARY, SOMEONE HAD HACKED, INTO THE SYSTEM, AND I WILL GIVE YOU ONE GUESS, THE NSP OR TOOLS ON LOAN A TOOL TO THE MORMON REPUBLICAN CHURCH, TO FUCK ME OVER 24/7 . . . THERE WERE JUST SLIGHT CHANGED MADE THAT, MIGHT HAVE LANDED ME IN THE HANDS OF SALT LAKE CITY, POLICE, WHO WERE WAITING AT THE AIR PORT WHERE THE SHUTTLE DROPPED OFF. THERE WAS NO SECOND SHUTTLE, LIKE PROMISED! I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE, AND TOOK A TAXI TO THE GREYHOUND STATION WHERE I GOT STUCK, THE LAST TIME I GOT AN ONLINE TICKET, WHERE GREYHOUND TOOK THE MONEY OUT, BUT, NEVER SENT ME A TICKET, AND I COULD NOT GET THE AGENT TO TALK TO WALMART TO CONFIRM THAT THE MONEY WAS TAKEN OUT, I EVEN HAD A CONFIRMATION NUMBER, AND THEY REFUSED TO TALK . . . GUESS THE GAME PLAY WAS TO GET ME TO SEATTLE, OUT OF MONTANA! MILES PAID FOR ME TO TAKE A TRIP TO SEATTLE TO HELP HIM WITH SOME LEGAL WORK., I HAD ALREADY DONE IN OCTOBER, ONLINE! HE DENIED HE EVER GOT IT! OH, THAT WAS ATTORNEY, NUMBER TWO, WHO DID THE WORK HUH? WRONG! TWISTED SISTER GAMES! THEN, AFTER I HAD TO PAY, $27.00 JUST TO GET FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE GREYHOUND STATION, MY ITINERARY SHOWED, THAT, I WAS TO PICK UP THE SALT LAKE EXPRESS, FROM THE AMTRAK STATION? I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THAT WAS! I CALLED, THE EXPRESS COMPANY, TO MAKE SURE I WAS ON THE LIST, YES! (8) THEN, THE CHICK WHO GAVE ME THE TICKET SAID, ALL THE DRIVERS HAVE YOUR NAME IN THEIR SYSTEM, SO YOU DON'T NEED PAPERWORK! OKAY, GREAT, I USED IT TO TAKE NOTES FOR MY BLOG ON THE WAY UP . . . DIRTY JO'S PUNKSTERS! FUN SIGNS. I HAD FOLDED THE TICKET AND PAPERWORK, AND EVEN FORGOT, THAT WAS ANYTHING IMPORTANT. ANOTHER GAME. I FIGURED IT OUT WHEN I COULDN'T FIND THE PAPERWORK IN MY BACKPACK! THE DRIVER DEMANDED IT! (9) ANOTHER INTERESTING PART OF THE GAME, I THINK, VERIFY, BUT, NORMALLY, SHUTTLES ARE SCHEDULED BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE ON THE TRIP . . . THE FIRST SHUTTLE WAS, ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATE--HAD TO GO BACK TO THE SHOP AND SWITCH, SHUTTLES TO A LARGER ONE? THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 5 OF US ON A BUS OF 50 OR SO? I HAD THE DRIVER LAST TIME I HAD A GREAT ESCAPE OUT OF ST. GEORGE . . . AGENT? REASON FOR THE DELAY? LAST TIME THIS DUDE, TONGAN, MADE ME, ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION ALL THE WAY FROM ST. GEORGE TO PROVO, IN APRIL! THIS TIME, HE WAS TALKING TO SOME DUDE UP IN THE FRONT SEAT, SO I COULD JUST RELAX UNTIL WE HIT ALMOST THE AIRPORT IN SLC! NOW THERE WAS AN OLDER GENTLEMAN WHO GOT ON THE SHUTTLE IN ST. GEORGE WITH ME . . . HE WATCHED ME AS I WROTE COOL STATEMENTS OR ADS ON THE BACK OF MY TICKET, I WASN'T SUPPOSE TO NEED, LUCKY I DIDN'T TOSS IT! THE THROW AWAY QUEEN! HE SAID, ARE YOU A WRITER? NO A BLOGGER. OH, I WOULD LOVE TO READ YOUR BLOG. DO YOU HAVE A BUSINESS CARD? WHAT DO YOU WRITE ABOUT? EVERYTHING. THEN I TOLD HIM OF SOME OF MY TRIALS, WITH SOUTHERN UTAH! 26 PEOPLE DEAD, AND NO ONE CARES? HE HAD BEEN SOME AMBASSADOR, SOMEWHERE AND HE SAID, THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF THE STUFF, I RAN INTO IN SOME THIRD WORLD COUNTRY! THAT IS TOO BAD. THE DRIVER PIPED UP. WHEN DID YOU GET ON THE SHUTTLE? HE SEEMED ALARMED. IN ST. GEORGE. THEN, HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT, TRUMP, WELL I LIKE TRUMP. I HATE HIM. ALL REPUBLICANS ARE NOT RICH, NOR DO THEY NOT NEED HEALTHCARE AND THEIR WOMEN GET MOLESTED AND RAPED. HE SHUT UP, BUT HE CALLED SOMEONE, AND THE NEXT MINUTE, HE DROVE OFF IN A HEATED RUSH, AND THERE WAS A SLPD, BIG ASS BLACK AND WHITE SUV, PARKED IN HIS PLACE! I KNEW THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ME, OF COURSE, WHAT IS NEW! HE WAS PARKED THERE FOR AT LEAST A HALF HOUR! I WENT IN A GOT THREE ITEMS, PROOF, PROOF, PROOF, FROM THE CREDIT CARD ONLY VENTING MACHINES: (1) DIET COKE; (2) A BAG OF M & M'S PEANUTS; (3) SOME DORITOS I THINK. VERIFY, VERIFY, VERIFY. I LEFT A MAP OF WHERE I WENT FROM SALT LAKE CITY ON! BREAD CRUMBS OF FACTS, THAT THE PERSON WRITING THIS BLOG IS NOT IN MONTANA, FLYING THERE, ALREADY, OR IN WASHINGTON, D.C. OR MY DAUGHTER, WHOM I JUST LEFT IN ST. GEORGE, UTAH! THIS IS JUST HOW CREEPY THESE MOTHERFUCKERS ARE! THEY HAVE USED, ABOUT 10 WOMEN, AS MY DOUBLES! NOW MY OWN DAUGHTER? THINGS ARE GOOD IN THE HOOD. THE GIVE AWAY WAS, WHEN, I CALLED GRETA AND TOLD HER, I WAS, STILL AT THE SUMMIT HEALTH CLUB ON THURSDAY AND TO PICK ME UP AFTER WORK . . . I GOT A TEXT, AT 4:19 PM, SAYING, "I KNOW YOU ARE AT JACK IN THE BOX." WHAT THE FUCK? I AM AT THE SUMMIT! CROSSING WIRES AND MOMMIES! GETTING A JUMP IN INHERITANCE, IN YOUR AUNT AND GRANDPA'S HANDS, OR YOUR BOSSES? KAY. I HAVE BEEN GONE A LONG TIME AND MY KIDS WERE THE TARGETS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OR BEFORE THEY WENT TO SCHOOL! GET MOM OUT OF THE PICTURE, SO WE CAN TAKE OVER THE WORLD WITH HER MONEY! I REALIZED, THAT HER DIVORCE WAS A SHAM, AND THAT SHE WAS AN UNDERSTUDY OF HER NAVY SEAL, ATF, OR ALCOHOL TOBACCO AND FIREARMS, FEDERAL AGENT HUSBAND! THERE WAS A SONG, WHEN, I STARTED, TO SEE, EVIDENCE OF THE GAMING . . . "TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN, TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN OR YOU AIN'T NOW FRIEND OF MINE . . . THEN WE CAN MAKE SWEET LOVE AGAIN?" THEN THERE WAS A HANDSOME HUSBAND, BUILT LIKE DALLAS AND A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, WHO WAS LIKE GRETA, A LOOKER, AND ONE OF THEIR FATHER'S IN BETWEEN THEM . . . A TEST OF LOYALTY, TRUMP STYLE? THEN A WHITE TRUCK, WITH THE WRITING, "LIBERTY ELECTRIC" ON IT, CAME INTO THE PARKING LOT! TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN, SO DALLAS AND GRETA ARE FREE, AND I AM TAKING CARE OF THE GRAND KIDS, WHILE THEY WRITE, CAMP, ETC. NO. THAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! SHARED. I LIKE BEING GRANDMA, NOT MOM OR DAD'S SURROGATE, SO YOU TWO CAN DO WHAT YOU WILL! JEALOUS OF MY FREEDOM LIKELY! OH, ON THE TEXT, WHEN I QUESTIONED, GRETA, SHE SAID, OH THAT MUST HAVE COME FROM YESTERDAY WHEN, I WAS ACTUALLY WAITING FOR HER AT JACK IN THE BOX, NOT THE SUMMIT. BUT WHEN I VERIFIED, NOW, SOMEONE COULD HAVE FUCKED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY, . . . HACKED, AT ROUGHLY 11:18 AM . . . TALKING TECHNOLOGY, THEY TRY TO PROTECT THEIR OWN, BUT I ALWAYS KNOW THEY HACKED BECAUSE THE CURSOR ALWAYS GOES RIGHT BACK TO THE START OF THE TITLE, SO THEY CAN EDIT OR STEAL OR ERASE, AND IF THERE IS NO HACKING, IT STAYS RIGHT WHERE I AM TYPING! BUT GRETA SAID, THAT MUST HAVE COME FROM YESTERDAY, BUT WHEN I CHECKED THE DATE AND TIME, NO IT WAS, JUST A HALF HOUR EARLIER! DRIVE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, APART? CLOSE OUR WHOLE LIVES, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE RACHEL IS MOM? SHELLEY? SUE? KAY? GRETA, MENTIONED, HOW MUCH SHE LIKED SUE AND MARCIE'S HAIR, NOW THAT IT HAD GROWN, GREY . . . I ALMOST DON'T HAVE TO LIGHTEN MY ANYMORE AND I DON'T NEED READING GLASSES, YOUNGING . . . CAUSING TROUBLES . . . FIGURED IT MIGHT. ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT, ME AND GRETA WERE SITTING AROUND THE FIRE, HANDING OUT CANDY, AND SOME NEIGHBOR CAME BY, AND ASKED, IS THIS YOUR SISTER? I SAID, NO, HER MOTHER. SHE HAD NO COMMENT. I AM NOT GOING TO AGE TO MAKE MY DAUGHTERS AND SONS, FEEL YOUNGER! I HAVE LIVED A VERY YOUNG LIFE THE LAST 6 YEARS . . . I AM YOUNGING! THE REVERSE OF "THE PORTRAIT OF DORIAN GRAY" BY OSCAR WILDE! GRETA HAS A PICTURE OF ME AND MY FOUR KIDS OUTSIDE OUR HOME IN PROVO . . . THEY WERE ALL 8 TO 13 YEARS OLD . . . NOW THAT MY HAIR IS LONGER, I LOOK, ALMOST TH SAME AGE! I WILL NOT GO DOWN, SILENTLY INTO THE NIGHT! NOT EVEN FOR MY KIDS. I JUST KNEW THIS WOULD BE TROUBLE. NICOLE CAME FOR A WHILE, AND SHE LOOKED, STRANGE AT ME TOO. THEY HAVE NOT SEEN ME WITH LONG HAIR, SINCE, ME AND THEIR FATHER GOT A DIVORCE BACK IN 1989! I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF, THAT I AM ALMOST, 64, GOING ON 35! LOL. THURSDAY, I WAS IN THE SWIMMING POOL, THINKING ON SOMETHING GRETA SAID: "I HATE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO LOOK YOUNG." A WEDGE, NOW THAT MY KIDS ARE AGING. I KNEW IT. I AM NOT TRYING TO LOOK YOUNG, THERE ARE LIFESTYLES THAT, BRING HEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND FREEDOM . . . FUCK, THEIR AUNT SUE, LOOKED OLD AT 34! LOL. BUT, AS I WAS DOING A TWO HOUR WORK OUT, IN THE SUMMIT POOL HAVING IT ALL TO MYSELF . . . FIRST A MAN, WHO LOOKED LIKE, MY 3RD HUSBAND, WEARING A GOLD SHIRT, WITH TAN SHORTS ON, BUT WITH SLUMPED SHOULDERS, AND GREY AND BLACK, HAIR, SALT AND PEPPER, WALKED BY, I LOOKED UP AT THE METAL FRAMES, AND SOME OF THEM, HAD RUST ON THEM, BRINGING TO MIND, MY SON'S, CD COVER FOR HIS FIRST, RECORD, WITH, "THE DITCH & THE DELTA" CALLED, "WE RUST." I THOUGHT, HOW APPROPRIATE, THAT, THEY ALL AGE, WHO FUCKED ME OVER, AND I GET TO STAY YOUNG! A CERTAIN KIND OF JUSTICE. BRETT, USED TO GET UP EACH MORNING WHEN, WE LIVED IN MT. STERLING, UTAH, AND PLUCK HIS GRAY HAIRS OUT OF HIS GOATEE, AND HAIR! VANITY, VANITY, VANITY. HE USED TO SAY ON THE FIRST NIGHT THAT I MET HIM, "DON'T HATE ME BECAUSE I AM BEAUTIFUL." AS HE SEES, KAY, SHELLEY, RACHEL, KENNEDY, SUE, KEVIN, MY OWN KIDS AGE . . . THE VAIN, WILL HATE, THE FACT, THAT, I AM NOT, EVEN GETTING YOUNGER AND YOUNGER LOOKING! I AM WAY TOO YOUNG FOR MY EX-HUSBANDS, ALL OF THEM! LOL. FUCK, I AM TOO YOUNG FOR MY SON-IN-LAWS, BOTH BALDING AND GETTING PONCHY! LOL. THERE IS A GOD AND THERE IS JUSTICE. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IF I WERE TO CHOSE, I WOULD CHOSE, YOUTH . . . I WAS CHEATED OUT OF 20 YEARS OF MY LIFE . . . I ALWAYS SAID, I WOULD TAKE BACK 25 YEARS . . . I HAVE! WAIT UNTIL I LOSE WEIGHT! THEY ARE ALL OVER THAT TOO. HOTTER THAN, HOT GUYS, ALL OVER THE PLACE! I HAVE MY PICK! FOREVER YOUNG. FOREVER 21 . . . FUCK YEAH! SERVES THEM ALL RIGHT! DON'T LIMIT THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR CHILDREN . . . GREAT! TAKE THEM! LOL. TO THE NAKED EYE . . . . HEY, ROSS, ARE YOU STILL THERE? JEN. I DECIDED TO TAKE YOU UP ON YOUR OFFER, TO HAVE SOMETHING ON THE SIDE . . . I REQUEST SOMETHING ON THE BACK AND BENT OVER TOO! LOL! YOU SEEM TO HAVE A KNACK IN FINDING ME . . . NOT HARD IN MISSOULA, MONTANA . . . JUST 1/8TH OF THE PEOPLE IN SEATTLE AND SURROUNDING AREAS! I HAVE ABOUT THREE BEAUTIFUL MEN, TRAILING ME RIGHT NOW . . . HAPPY WITH ONE OR ALL! LOL. MONEY? TAKE THAT MONEY AND WATCH IT BURN, OH THE LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED! THIS AIN'T NO CIRCUS, AND I DON'T NEED NO CLOWNS! LOL. TYMCO COPS AT THE AIRPORT. DRIVER OF THE SHUTTLE . . . OH, I WAS MENTIONING, THAT, THE DUDE WHO DEMANDED A TICKET, WHEN I ASKED WHY WE HAD SUCH A BIG SHUTTLE FOR ONLY THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE? HE SAID, GREYHOUND IS MAKING US USE THE LARGER ONES. OH, I JUST SAW A SMALLER SHUTTLE LIKE I ALWAYS TOOK UP TO MONTANA, JUST LEAVE . . . PRETEND, THE "FAKES" ARE ON THE SMALL, NORMAL SHUTTLE AND TAKE ME OFF MAP, ON THE LARGER ONE! THE DRIVER, SOME DUDE FROM, NEW YORK, TRANSPLANT TO REXBERG, IDAHO, PROBABLY AN OLD AGENT, DIDN'T STOP AT THE SCHEDULED STOPS? HE TURNED UP THE AIR CONDITIONER, BLOWING RIGHT DOWN MY NECK! WHEN I ASKED HIM TO TURN OFF THE AIR . . . HE SAID, I AM HOT, SO . . . SO, WHO'S PAYING AND WHO'S GETTING PAID? WHAT THE FUCK. I WAS FREEZING FROM THAT SECOND FORWARD. IT WAS THEN I WAS SURE HE WAS BEING PAID TO MAKE THE TRIP, AS MISERABLE AS HE COULD! I WAS CHILLED ALL NIGHT, UNTIL HIS REPLACEMENT, TOOK HIS COMFORTER, AND PUT IT OVER ME, IN LIKE DILLON AND I WAS ABLE TO SLEEP, 40 MINUTES FROM BUTTE, AND THEN THE BUS TERMINAL WAS SO COLD, WE WERE ALL FREEZING! PUNISH. PUNISH. PUNISH. THEY HATE ME NO MATTER WHAT I DO. LIFE IS GOOD. THEY HAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MINE, EVEN MY KIDS AND THEY WILL NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL THE DAY I AM DEAD! IF NATURE PREVAILS, NOT MOB RULE, AND MISHAP, I AM LIKELY TO LIVE TO A RIPE OLD AGE, LIKE THREE OF MY FOUR GRANDPARENTS, MID-NINETIES!

SUPERIOR ABSORPTION!  

LOL.  YELLOW CAB TAXI PICKED ME UP FROM THE MISSOULA BUS STATION.  AS WE CROSSED ONTO BROADWAY BLVD. SOME DUDE WAS, WALKING WITH A BEER IN HIS HAND, STUMBLING IN THE CROSSWALK WHEN, THE LIGHT, WAS NOT IN HIS FAVOR!  THE TAXI DRIVER SAID . . . SOMETHING ABOUT, THAT, ASSHOLE DRUNK.  RENAME, MONTANA, GUNS AND BOOZE!  FUNNY, BUT NOT SO FUNNY.  I ASKED THE DRIVER IS HE WAS FROM MONTANA.  NO, ALABAMA.  I LOVE TO KNOW HOW PEOPLE FOUND MONTANA . . . ONE DAY MY WIFE, WAS BITCHING ME OUT, I WALKED OUT THE DOOR AND NEVER CAME BACK.  SHE CALLED ME ON THE PHONE, AND TOLD ME TO GET MY SILLY ASS BACK TO THE HOUSE . . . I AM STILL GETTING CIGARETTES.  I DROPPED THE PHONE AND NEVER LOOKED BACK!  LOL.  FUNNY.  I DID THE SAME WITH A MARINE HUSBAND.  GAVE HIM THE HOUSE, THE DOG AND CAT, ALL THAT WAS MINE AND LEFT FOR MONTANA . . . NEVER LOOKED BACK!

TOXIN FREE!

MONTANANS ARE A BIT ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES, THEY HIT ROUGH BATCHES, THEY CALL THEM.  THEY EAT ICE FOR BREAKFAST, AND FIGHT TOOTH AND CLAW . . . BUT WHEN THEY LEARN THE TRUTH . . . THEY ARE JUST AS FAST TO CUT THE OTHER WAY!  I LOVE THAT ABOUT THEM, THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WHOLESOME AND PURE ABOUT THAT, IN THEIR ROWDY ROUGH WAYS.  THERE IS NOT TOLERANCE FOR FRAUDS, THE INAUTHENTIC, THE GAMERS.  THESE GUYS ARE STRAIGHT SHOOTERS, NO BONES ABOUT IT!

TO THE  NAKED EYE . . . I WAS THINKING, AFTER HAVING BREAKFAST AT THE OXFORD, SEEING SOME OLD FACES AND FRIENDS, WATCHING, THE NEWS, SOME OF THE CLOSE RACES, LIKE IN ARIZONA AND FLORIDA, EVEN HERE, NOT SO MUCH, IN MONTANA, THAT THERE ARE REALLY TWO LEVELS SOMEONE OUGHT TO CONSIDER, WHEN VOTING: (1) FOR THE ISSUES THEY CARE ABOUT MOST; AND (2) FOR THE MORAL COMPASS OR LACK THEREOF, IN THE CANDIDATE.  TO ME, THE SECOND IS THE MORE WEIGHTY OF THE TWO.   WHY, YOU SAY?  BECAUSE, AN HONEST PERSON, ONE WHO, TRULY TRIES TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT, CAN BE PERSUADED BY THE OTHER PARTY, TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF CONSEQUENCES, AND POLITICAL FALL OUT . . . MUCH, LIKE SENATOR TESTER . . . THE FIRST ELEMENT IS MORE TRIBAL, MORE PARTY POLITICS, AND THEY, CAN'T BE PERSUADED, TO VOTE WITH ANOTHER PARTY, OR COMPROMISE ON THE ISSUES, EVEN WHEN, IT IS THE BETTER COURSE OF ACTION FOR THE COUNTRY.  IT IS A WIN, LOSE TO THEM, AND NEVER A WIN/WIN!

THINK ON THAT.

MONTANA. MONTANA. MONTANA.

AS I WAS LEAVING, THE SOUTHERN UTAH AREA, AT VARIOUS INTERVALS ON THE FREEWAY, A LARGE TRUCK, WITH, A HUGE ASS, "MONTANA" BRAND TRAILER PULLED BEHIND IT, CAME DOWN THE FREEWAY.

AFTER MY FIRST TRIP TO MONTANA, BACK IN THE SPRING OF 2012, AFTER SEEING AN AD CAMPAIGN, IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, BILLBOARDS, BUS WRAPS, AND EVEN DRIVERS, ALMOST BACKING INTO ME IN THE PARKING LOT OF 200 VEHICLES . . . I WAS DOING MY NORMAL, THINKING ABOUT THE MEN, I WAS LEAVING BEHIND, CHANGING WITH EACH SONG, FROM ONE MAN'S FACE TO THE NEXT.

I THOUGHT, IN KIND OF A SILENT PRAYER, AS I CRUISED, TOWARD THE SOUTHWESTERN PART OF THE STATE, OPEN RANGE LAND, BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY, THAT, ALL I REALLY EVER WANTED IN LIFE, WAS NOT THE LAW DEGREE, NOT THE POWER OF MY HOT JOBS, NOT THE PROFESSORSHIPS, BUT, I ALWAYS JUST WANTED TO KNOW, WHAT REAL LOVE WAS AND HOW IT FELT, HAVING BELIEVED THAT IT HAD ESCAPED ME, SOMEHOW, BUT FEELING, AT TIMES THAT I WAS ON THE CUSP OF IT, BUT NEVER QUITE SINKING MY TEETH INTO THE REAL MCCOY . . . AND AS THOSE THOUGHTS, PASSED THROUGH MY MIND, THERE WOULD BE A LONE, TRUCK, PULLING A "MONTANA" BRAND, TRAILER BEHIND IT.  THREE TIMES, I WOULD SAY, NO, I WANT LOVE, AND AGAIN, THAT SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN . . . A "MONTANA" BRAND TRAILER, WOULD PASS BY ME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, MUCH, LIKE IT DID THE OTHER DAY . . . STRANGE, FULL CIRCLE IN SO MANY WAYS.

I THOUGHT, THEN, AND I THINK NOW, THAT, THE MESSAGE, GOD WANTED ME TO LEARN FROM THAT, DISPLAY, AGAIN, WAS . . . THERE ARE MANY MEN, YOU CAN LOVE, BUT, IT IS THIS BEAUTY, THAT WILL "NEVER" EVER, CHEAT ON YOU, EVER DISAPPOINT YOU, AND THE PLEASURE YOU WILL GET FROM THIS, IS EVERLASTING!  IT IS NOT THE POLITICS . . . THEY HAVE DISAPPOINTED ME AT TIMES, NOT THE LOVE OF THE CONSTITUTION AS I HAVE SEEN, APPLIED WRONG, OR MISREPRESENTED, BUT IT IS THE BEAUTY OF THE STATE, THAT WILL NEVER FAIL.  THIS IS GOD'S COUNTRY, NO DOUBT . . . SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL, I COULD, NEVER, EVER GET TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE MISSION MOUNTAINS, THE FLATHEAD, THE PINES, THE RIVERS, THE MOUNTAINS, THE LUSH PASTURE LANDS . . . SO AWE-MAZING.

THERE ARE FEW THINGS IN LIFE THAT, DON'T DISAPPOINT THIS, IDEALIST . . . BUT THAT IS WHAT MAKES ME A GOOD CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ATTORNEY, THE PURITY, A PASSION FOR THE PURE, BUT THIS, THIS . . . SO LOVELY.

A SONG ON MY MIND, ALONG WITH A MAN, FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS OF IDLE DRIVING . . . HEY THERE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD!  YOU SURE ARE LOOKING GOOD . . . YOU'RE EVERYTHING A BIG BAD WOLF COULD WANT!

GRANDMA, WHAT BIG EARS YOU HAVE . . . THE BETTER TO HEAR YOU WITH.  BUT WHAT BIG TEETH YOU  HAVE . . . THE BETTER TO EAT YOU WITH.  

VORACIOUS, INSATIABLE, APPETITE FOR, ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL!

FROM MEN TO MOUNTAINS!

LOL.

GRANDMA HAS RIDDEN A FEW HOODS IN HER TIME!

LOL.

THING ARE GOOD IN THE HOOD.

I SAW THIS NAME THE OTHER DAY, THAT MADE THIS LINE OF THINKING START: JOANNA "ROSS" CLARK.

WHERE ARE YOU ROSS?

JEN.
