  2. Them is some cool pictures! Particularly like the picture taken of Rocky, Montana. It's real pretty. And that there picture of the old part of Butt, Montana (which is really its true name 'cordin to Great, great grandpa Zephaniah who worked in them copper mines til some fancy, schmancy, uptight spinster came along a put "e"'s at the end of every Butt sign. Grandpa Zeph was really peeved about that) are nice to see, too.
