haha I love the 406 in some ways...and in others I can't stand it. Are you originally from Montana? I've lived here my entire little life.
No, but I've been here long enough to fake being a native! I've heard fucking horror stories from folks that grew up in Butte... So cool you are getting out. ZW
Yeah, I avoid telling people I'm from Butte, it just leads to problems, even though I'm not at all proud of it. Thanks for the kind words
it was freezing in butte last night! all of my family is from here except me. i lived here 5 years as a kid, 7 years later, and now i am back.
I think alot has to do with which part you are living in..... I have lived in real rural remote regions most of my life here and going to town, or I should say even just a little village, it takes 3 days to unwind .... Xtian 911 Nazis can get pretty annoying sometimes View attachment 44460 Like the Bird FLu Scare gone Wild ( from Alfred Hitchcock Movie "The BIRDS" ) unless you have some Hep freinds closeby, livinig in the towns or crowded areas is difficult because of the Politics ( I will leave that for another thread) , , , , at least for me, anytime you are stuck in a crowded area and cant get out. It doesnt matter where you are. I dont like to pass judgements and point fingers, but every place has as much Light as you are willing to shed on it....... as for some people its only an oncoming Train View attachment 44461 Old Hippy saying,,,,"Its as Coooool as you want it to beeeee !" ..... mindset can be diffcult here until you can get into a like minded group or gang... I am used to Partying pretty hearty and I dont see that many of my kind here in all these years, with only a few exceptions....... who wants to go in a Bar where everyone looks like they just shpit their Pants ? Not all Bars, but many or most...... If you dare smile or crack jokes, they dont know what to do.. I only know a few place in the State where I speak and meet everyone..... but each one is the same each time I go in there all across the state..... freindly, hospitable, dont care if I am barefoot, bikin or booted sorry but Butte just doesnt happen to be one almost have to take people by the hand. People have the meaning of High confused. People are only concerned with how "pthlupped up they can get Man" ,,,,, getting High is something else lost ages ago.... its all about opening your Mind and expanding your Horizons and the beauty and style of getting High, is if things are going to shit,,, all you have to do is change the Channel...... we all remember Alice ? Alice D ? View attachment 44459 or did I lose my audience ? its all about opening your Mind and expanding your sight and keeping yourself entertained and amused and Education definitely falls in to this catagory... you are in the Drivers Seat NOW ! MAINTAIN MAN ! Its only dumb things like the Idiot Box that teach people that they are Helpless unless someone tells them what to do......... if you living in a dark little wimpy hole somewhere, its probably a good idea to go find another camp....... its all who you surround yourself with... you really gotta be careful about people in this state that start getting a little "too far out" because they get an attitude and because many if them are not very street wise and like Lemmings or the Pied Piper they have to follow the leader off a cliff one final message about Montana, and I have lived in all areas of the state..... alot of the make up of any area, city, or region, is whos running the show...... Counties in general, all depend on how the Big Dogs suck off the people....... and it shows in how the LAW treats the people. Go into any Grocery Store and look at peoples expressions..... therse are the fukrs living next door to you.... this XMas Eve I went into a Grocery Store and only 2-3 people with a mild smile in the whole store..... you are allowed to draw your own conclusions from that one Butte just happens to be one of the Top 10 most violent Cities in the US and has been for many years. Ever since the Mining Era..... but just go take a drive over into Madison County once and see how your Heart jumps thru the Roof of the vehicle you are driving in....... and your eyes fill with colors I hear alot of noise about living in Missoula,,,,,, there is a real good collective society going on there and lot of resources, organic foods and trading areas, and lot of it has to do with the University, Notice ? Its because the educated people are more concentrated .......... little Berzerkeley or SF....... its ok, but personally I dont like Liberals any better than Conservatives...... I am not taking anyones choice for anything niether side is any better than the other, what a bunch of dupes I can go on and on about Montana, but for the most part, it can be a drag anywhere you are surrounded by idiots...... but Montana isnt about living in Towns and City Life...... its about your exposure to the Outdoors, Wilderness and Wildlife dont you think ? or dont you think ?
