well! what have we learned? we have learned that Montana is full of nothing but quail, deer, and snow. We have learned that '92 Mazda's aren't built for road trips. We have learned that letting a car idle for 2 hours while you nap on the side of the road will kill the radiator. We have learned think before you act.

So Thursday night I had a great idea... road trip! right? wrong. bad bad bad bad bad idea. Ended up in the ditch, slept on the side of the Jasper-Banff highway (which, by the way, is a shitty road in the summer, covered in an inch of ice it's pretty scary), get searched by the lonely border-guard who was exicted to see someone. Break-down outside of Choteau, MT, spend 3 days in a podunk town watching the Super Bowl and coverage of "Super Tuesday", get to Calgary and here I sit at my cousins very nice computer. I could have lost my job, my education, my family and friends... mental breakdowns are not fun kids.

On the upside, I have some neat pictures of mountains to upload when I'm back home.

I didn't mean to scare you
