First, an update on Earboy: the affected area continues to heal, redder than the surrounding tissue but with excellent capillary refill. Pip pip may keep both his ears...this time.
Christmas lights are a staple of the holiday season across this whole grand country of ours. Still, it should come as no surprise that this area has its own little twist on this favorite mode of decoration. Of course, there are many traditional displays, too, but as you scroll down keep your eyes peeled for...well, just 
about anything.
A couple weeks ago, we went to a park in Williston, that had been converted into a drive-thru light display. Many of the displays were linked to music being broadcast from wee little FM channels, right there in the park.
At $5 a car, it was one of the few paid attractions I've seen in this area in any season. Some of the museums charge admission, but you wouldn't believe how many places are just plain free.
Plentywood had
some very competitive light-putter-uppers, including one on the main street that had their own lights coordinated with their radio broadcast, just like at the Williston show, only it was a house. The kids made sure we remem
bered to put the radio on 88.9 FM ev
ery time we drove past. Maybe by next year I can post a video of that one.
One family went all-out, decorating every square inch of their whole property, front, back, and sideways.
And this one here, ok I have to admit to a bit of a camera glitch. If it had really loo
ked like this, it would have been overkill
by any standards. "And right here in our own Plentywood, we have a man-made display of the famed Aurora borealis!"
As for the last two pictures, they could definitely go under the heading, "Only in Montana."
Whether you're an enthusiastic recycler - even more than Tina and me put together, or just wanted to hitch a reindeer up to an old horse-drawn road grader for kicks, Montana is the place for you.
