Let me amend that motion


The above picture was taken on a very rare rainy Saturday morning in September in downtown Billings at the Farmer's Market.

Top 10: Underrated Destinations

They aren't on everyone's "must-see" list, but they should be:

1. Charlotte, N.C.
2. Austin, Texas
3. Savannah, Ga.
4. Minneapolis, Minn.
5. Denver, Colo.
6. Grand Teton National Park, Wyo.
7. Newport, R.I.
8. Jekyll Island, Ga.
9. Baltimore, Md.
10. Portland, Ore.

I came across this list on some website or other. I can't say much about Savannah, Newport or Jekyll Island because I have never been there but the rest are top drawer places, worth a visit or to stay awhile. The only place I would add would be the whole state of Montana, especially my home town of Billings.

Just below is a paper bag from one of the places in Denver that must be taken into account when compiling lists of cities worth a visit.



And then just below is a snapshot taken at the local Albertson's. I guess we know now which side the trashy magazine publishers are on, or do we? Does Mrs. Obama chew or what?

Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure what "a dead blog" is. I have been adding entries merrily for some years now. Admittedly I don't seem to get much in the way of responses or comments but that is probably because of the stodginess of my writing or picture taking or both I suppose. Perhaps you can tell me what is confusing.

“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
