Main Street:
Still in pieces...
Most stores (those not destroyed) have re-opened and are cleaning up after the blast. All the buildings around the blast had to be inspected to make sure they didn't collapse too.
A body was recovered, just one. They haven't identified it. We've all assumed its was the one unaccounted for person.
White Hall (town not too far from here) also decided to burn down multiple Main Street stores on Friday (the Bozeman blast was on Thursday).
God hates southwestern Montana is what my seminar class has decided. Its too bad too, I mean SW Montana is beautiful!
Other things:
-I can't get warm. It doesn't matter what I do I'm always cold. I sleep with a wool blanket, two fleece blankets, and my super thick blanket from japan. It's ridiculous. I'm not sick.. but I can't get warm. My roommate claims its too hot in the room and sleeps without blankets. What's my problem?
-Spring break is only a couple of days away! As much as I'd like to be one of the girls headed to Cancun, I'm not. Instead I'll be driving to Pullman, then driving back with David. Spending the week here in Bozeman. Then at the end of the week driving back to Pullman and then back to Bozeman alone. In between the driving to Pullman and back David and I are going to Yellowstone and Little Bighorn. We may take a walk down Main Street even.
-Big lesson of the week:
When bargain hunting for weekend groceries don't buy milk in a carton and don't buy the cheap frozen macaroni!
Let me explain... When you buy milk in a carton instead of jug it has a funny cardboard taste and isn't quite as milky delicious like milk should be! And macaroni... well we all know Stouffers microwave macaroni and cheese is cheesy and delicious correct? (correct!) We also know that its a little spendy at $4.00 a box (a single serving can last me about 1 meal and a snack). Well Safeway thinks they're so tricky selling their own version of the macaroni and cheese... BUT IT SUCKS. Go ahead and buy the cheap generic pop, or deoderant,
But whatever you do, DON'T BUY GENERIC MACARONI!!!
I hope you can all learn from my mistake of buying generic macaroni...
Hi, Kirsten. I've been faithfully following your blog, and enjoy your news. The explosion in Bozeman must have been a shock. I hope things are back to normal downtown. Your description of the town's reaction to Obama being elected was very interesting - so there ARE still people out there with liberal-phobia. Watch out for them!
