The Bozone on The Solemnity of the Assumption of the BVM

Northwest Legion Regional Baseball Tournament: The view from the grandstand at Heroes Park, Bozeman MT mid-August 2008. This was not the Scarlets' finest hours.

Altar at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Main St, Bozeman MT. The organ sounds good but aesthetically it visually overwhelms everything else. I remember when I was very young and sat upstairs in the balcony with my grandfather in the conservative Wisconsin synod Lutheran Church. The organ was next to the entrance door and I noticed people would stop and say a prayer immediately on entering. Of course, my first guess was that God was located within the organ. Good homily on the Assumption. Full house at mid-day.

Bridger Mountains in the background of Heroes Park, Bozeman MT. I wonder if a baseball stadium in Missoula MT could have been given this name?

A view down Main Street, Bozeman MT, one of the town's major assets. The Country Book Shelf is a fine independent book store about 3 doors down from where I took the picture. I was waiting for it to open its doors at 9am. They usually have signed versions of most recent books published by Montanans.

A view of the Montana Ale Works, a good place to eat and drink, right across from a really snazzy new public library, see below, on Main Street. Bozeman looks prosperous these days. They are building a large new parking garage just off Main St.

The Bozeman Public Library, recently opened on Main Street, Bozeman MT. When will Billings build a new library?

The view down the 90, heading east somewhere near Big Timber. This is the road the Scarlets beat a hasty retreat after losing a quick two games at the Northwest Regional. Ironic too because as I looked at the pairings before they started it crossed my mind that they might win it. Hmmm.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
