this is my friend mark, trying to 'monkey-butt proof' my seat. i waited 2 hrs while he worked on iy. i got to converse a bit with him. mark considered himself 'born again' and was a devout christian. like so many up here, he was an expatriot from fresno california, fed up and not willing to take it anymore. conversations between this guy and local patrons were not like anything i'd ever heard. no 'whazzup'......'gittin any?'...........or 'how u doin?' up here. they'll compare born-again dates, or talk about where they attend church. mark's wife is a blacksmith, and his 'born again' date coincides with a day they were riding horses and a horse threw his wife and broke both her arms. i think church may be the bond gluing this part(service people) of the bozeman culture together.
