We went to the dance, paid our fee, and logged on to Montana’s laptop to petition Governor Martinez. It was not a time for subtlety; my “letter” was “Don’t STEAL our water!”
Matt Middleton, Darryl Pettis, and the bar staff ran a tight show. There were more ranch folks than I had seen in years, many newcomers actually socializing with them, and the most and best dancing I had seen in years. Ty Chavez actually persuaded Libby to dance, a rare sight AFTER my batteries died.
Serious links and good photos of what is at risk here. We have started something… let’s not drop the ball.
My few photos– KC ran my ‘lectrics down– are below.
And special thanks to webmaster Matt Middleton.
