Many of us here in Missoula are a tad narcissistic in terms of our valley. We are so enamored with this place at times we seem to have fallen into the Kool-Aid so to speak.

Today a woman stopped me in the grocery to apologize for being distracted in the parking lot and not yielding the right of way. I know this kind of consideration happens in other places, but it happens often here. I’m so glad to be home.
