Wandering Again

Here we are again, wandering in downtown Billings, looking for a place to have lunch. The Soviet-styled architecture on the right is the new Billings Gazette building.

The artwork varies from so-so to excellent. Many of our Montana artists have not given up on the human project, and they seem to find evidence of order even in what appears to be disorder of a high degree to the casual passerby.


Carol and I found a really nice restaurant inside the Yellowstone Art Museum. Very good soup. Everyday they have a creamy Drunken Crab which was excellent. I forget what the other choice was, but it changes daily.

Tried some Italian light white and it was quite reasonable too. Needed to be a little cooler. The veal was good in places, especially with the prosciutto ham wrapped around it. And some interesting glasses too.

And to top everything off there were some splendid pieces of art on display. Hurry on down. Miriam Sample has blessed us all with her support for Montana artists and the galleries to see their stuff in.

“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
