happy impute all their success to prudence and merit. JONATHAN SWIFT,!

Florida Was Great

It was a great trip to visit the kids and grandkids in Florida.
From Daytona Beach where they’re getting geared up for the NASCAR Show of Shows, to Cape Cannvaral and the Kennedy Space Center where the shuttle is poised on the lanch pad for a Feb.17th launch. And they loved the Montana Tee Shirts from Montana Marketing. Thanks Wayne. But Great to be back home in MT! Thanks Diana, Ilidio, Jared & Jenny. FANTASTIC!

HELENA BIZ N’ FUN
Tip from big city newspaper:
Protect your property with signs, like this:
"Selma, don't come in! The boa constrictor got loose again."
But wouldn't a deadbolt lock from Burdick's work even better?

If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us
