This and That

Well, there really isn't anything going on right now. I am leaving tomorrow for Lewistown, MT for 4-H update. I don't enjoy Lewistown as much as Miles City, and I really don't want to be traveling overnight, but that's part of the job. I do have some new career goals that I started implementing today. I am now trying to go every Monday to the Farmers Union and hang out for an hour or so in the morning (as a way to meet and get to know my ranchers in an informal setting); I am also going to start going to see the county commissioners on Tuesdays (as a way to update them on what's going on and so they know what they are spending their money on). I hope that these new strategies work to get me out in the community faster.

In other news, winter has officially arrived on the northern plains! Yesterday it was 50 degrees and today it is 3 above with a 40 mph wind. Tomorrow the morning temp is supposed to be 11 below with snow. It's not supposed to get back to 20 degrees for the next two weeks. Bring out your heavy coats Mom and Dad, you will probably need them!

I went out and saw Alvin and Chipmunks movie last night...it was really good! I am almost embarassed to say that...almost. Well, that's it for now.
