Oh, lordy, bison gouging. I always snicker just a skosh every time I read about one. Do they look cuddly and serene? No! They’re also not going to idly stand there while someone creeps closer and closer for their photo-op.

Hey, just out of curiosity, did you grow up on the east side of the park or the west? My husband’s paternal side of the family is from Red Lodge, so he grew up hearing all sorts of man vs. animal horror stories about ranching/hunting/etc.

Me, in the near future.

I’m in the same boat as you in regards to filing. I think I’m going to go the other direction and buy myself a shredder.

I have a Caldera Ginger Beer waiting for me in the fridge, and I might have a random can of Old German lurking in there, too.

It’s not necessarily a supplement for women’s health, but I’ve been taking S. Boulardii just to help keep my digestive tract up and running smoothly.

My fellow middle school coaches and I have tentatively 48 ladies out for volleyball...and a lot of them are already kicking butt and taking names. Here’s hoping they keep putting in the same effort once school starts!

I don’t even know how many times I’ve camped at one of the campgrounds just outside of Cooke City/Silvergate, but I can tell you I haven’t since a bear took out some people in tents a few summers ago. Now I’m a glamper and stick to day hikes/fishing when I’m in the area.

I could only remember Christian Slater, so don’t feel bad. It was one of those movies I caught in some hotel in the middle of nowhere traveling between the Midwest and home, so just memorable enough.

I’m going to go with a rehash of the Christian Slater/Cameron Diaz/Jon Favreau/Jeremy Piven masterpiece that is Very Bad Things.

I have the found the bar soap to be wonderful, too. I’ll have to look for the baby version the next time I’m at the store.

I use Bronners bar soap for my face. My husband has used the liquid for years as his only shampoo/soap. It’s done wonders for his skin.

I like my Dr. Bronner’s as much as the next person, but holy Hell, undiluted peppermint in the eye is a very refreshing way to wake up in the morning. Also, have you ever tried their pine-scented cleaning product? That stuff smells amazing.

Hell yeah! I’ve been using that trick since I read about it in YM in the late 90s. The Costco brand conditioner works great.

I’m all about the shower brush and the free Thierry Mugler exfoliating scrub Amazon sent me on accident (It’s awesome except for the plastic micro-beads - can’t win them all).

If any of you happen to be in the Portland metro area, do yourself a favor and audit Dr. Scott Burns’ Geology of National Parks class at Portland State. He’s incredible, the topic is awesome, and the field trip up to Ranier is a great way to spend a Saturday.

Well I learned something new today. I’ve always thought it was free reign, but it’s really free rein. The grammar nerd in me is surprised that I didn’t know that.

I’ve done it, too. Sometimes, especially recently, reading Dirt Bag makes me miss Gossip Roundup and Blind Items.

Ha! My parents built their house in 1976, and my mom just finally redecorated to remove the avocado green, harvest gold, and rust orange. I kind of miss the old harvest gold bell rotary phone with the extra long cord.

Thank you! My husband has issues with fragrances in soaps (laundry, dish, etc.), so we are always on the look out alternatives.
