Little known Montana fact of the day: there are twice as many cows as there are people in MT. And speaking of cows, our bank officer, Lyndy, is also a genuine cowgirl. She and her husband own 300 head of cattle, and they "drive" them each spring about 40 miles up into a mountain area; each fall, they drive them back. She invited me to go along on their next drive; they usually take on up to 10 "dudes" on a drive, a la "City Slickers." You remember the scene where Billy Crystal pulls out a cordless coffee-grinder and proceeds to grind the beans, leading to one of my favorite movie lines ever: "Something's spookin' the cattle." Yep...that would be me. Lyndy also taught me about branding cattle; did you know that brands are basically trademarked, and filed with the state? BTW: 44 degrees at 7:45 a.m. I love this place.
