It's true I am in a new geographic location: Big Sky Country. Don't know where that is? Well the Big Sky is also known as Montana. Yep I am back in the Rocky Mountain West and it feels good to be home.
Employment brought me to my new home (at least for the next year, have to see if it all works out). I will be working for the county and city of Missoula doing what I went to school to learn all about: planning. I am working up close and personal with John Q Public and it is great. Different questions all day long, new things to learn (like how little regulation there is in this town), and plenty of new watering holes to quench the after work thirst!
But Montana isn't the only new geographic location that I have traveled to this summer. I finally made it off the mainland and to the islands: Kauai, Hawaii. What an amazing place! Great sun, great landscape, canyons, waterfalls, beaches, mountains, oh my! Oh and really good local beer and seafood. I can't wait to return to this amazing place. Where else can you pretty much be homeless and live off the land comfortably? (No the answer isn't Alaska--remember it gets cold there)
Over the next couple of days or weeks I should be updating with thoughts and reactions to the transition from hot Reno to cool Montana.
Welcome Back!
