Remember last year when I wrote about our trip to Glacier National Park? Well, we went back this year and spent 3 nights there in cabins at Lake McDonald Lodge. Lots of funny things happened, but here is one thing that shows that the world really has no boundaries.

We got to Glacier about 6:30 pm Friday evening and checked in to our cabins. We had 8 of us this year........my oldest daughter and her husband (Jerry), our oldest granddaughter (Amanda) who just graduated from Washington State U; her roommate and boss at a veterinary research lab in Pullman, WA, (Michelle); our son (Bobby); Alek, our grandson from New Mexico; and Donna and Bob (the old farts).

In the cabin next to us was a couple and their two teenage kids. We learned that they were from the Czech Republic and visiting the U.S this summer. He is a professor of some kind in science and is a visiting professor at Gonzaga U this summer. About 9:00 pm that night we brought out our portable fire pit and started a fire on the cement patio in front of our cabin. We were going to make s'mores, have some wine and just enjoy looking at Lake McDonald, the mountains, and the sunset.

This Czech family was out and we invited them over. It didn't take but two seconds and our grandson, Alek, notices the Czech couples daughter and his eyes go upwards towards the heavens.........."thank you god" kind of look. She is 17, (he's 18) and a dead ringer for a younger Anna Trebunskaya from Dancing With the Stars. (the flaming redhead)

The son of this couple is 13 and never had s'mores. For that matter, none of them had. We proceeded to show them how to make them and they had a blast. The son had a hard time understanding that you do NOT put flaming marshmallows in your mouth, but other than that it was fun. Even with the language barrier we had a great time and made new friends.

In the meantime our grandson has made all the right moves and he and Sonjia are taking a walk along the lake path. Jerry and I decide it's time to intervene, so we take the high road path above them, fully armed with our water gun cannons. We intercept them about 400 yards down the lake path, jump out of the brush, and proceed to scare the crap out of them and initiate Sonjia into the American way of life and fun with an all out water assault. Only problem is, Sonjia decides to take one of us out, and seeing as I'm much smaller than Jerry, guess who gets thrown into Lake McDonald? Jees, seems like I was in a lake just a few weeks ago!

Man, that girl was strong. But....she got soaked to. When she threw me off the edge I grabbed her arm and she went with me into the water. We got back to the cabins and the warmth of the fire and spent the next 3 hours talking, laughing, and having a good time with this family.

As for my grandson....he has her name, address, e-mail, picture, birthday, etc.

Next story.......showing Michelle the "Going To The Sun Road."

It was fun Pack93z. We spent all day Saturday and Sunday and Monday until noon in Glacier Park having fun, pulling pranks on tourists, and generally making sure none of them would ever come back.

Formo........believe me, she was no squirrel!

Fan Shout
dfosterf (3h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (3h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (4h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (4h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (4h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (4h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (4h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (4h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (4h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (5h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (5h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (7h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (7h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (7h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
