Two notes on the big empty spaces out there around the Continental Divide:(1) The Derbs will be on vacation the week of Aug 13-21 in Missoula, Montana. This fits in with my lifetime project of “collecting” states–Montana is one of the few I’ve never been to. Any advice on things to see & do around Missoula much appreciated. Any Corner readers in/near Missoula want to drop by for a drink, let me know–we’re staying at a friend’s house. (2) Hunter, falconer, New Mexicaner (“-onian”?) and author Steve Bodio has one of the more arresting opening lines on his ever-fascinating blog: ”Roseann sent this insightful piece on the use of motorcycles by nomads in Tibet. I have seen the same thing in Mongolia.”
