not the tunes for the photo. i could not open it with any normal program that i have.

hey man. whats up.
well, back in old montana. the lady that runs the BACC (bigfork arts and

cultural center) who lived up in ketchican or something alaska came back

here because she said the winters are too long and dark. she said they have

a movie theater there called snowbank drive-in where they show movies not on

a screen, but on the bank of snow that builds up to an annual average of

over 500 feet!

and most of them live up in the hills where you never see them. only people

ive seen much besides Amia Diorio are some random kids at the bar a couple

nights, the three people i work with, and the little old man cartoonist for

the paper named elmer who's made his living up here for his whole life

pretty much as a painter and he came in yesterday and one of the writers

here showed him my paintings on the site and was saying things like "well,

it appears you are quite an impressive artist..." and was laughing and

really checking out some of the animals and loved them, said i have two

styles which is true and it didnt take him more than a few minutes to say

that right out. and all sagastic comments and then really started talking to

me about how they have a group of "old geeser artists" from around the area

who were meeting weekly for coffee "and the whole thing was going great guns

for a while until so and so mentioned to organize the thing with dues and

roll call and then all of a sudden no one showed up". hehe. the guy is

exceptionally cool and wears an old hat like that one you have that i always

said is a writers hat, and he has a white pointed go-tee and drives around

this old subaru wagan and wears tennis shoes with velcro strips on them and

just sits there all calm and doesnt get excited much about anything but he

glows and his eyes glow and his mind is sharp like an old bikkhu just being

mindful and looking for things to paint in the rocky mountain winter. he

asked for me to give him a card with the web site address on it so he could

look at the paintings when he got home some more.
he's great and he knows i think he's great. he left here yesterday saying

right to me and waving: "we'll be seeing you soon, ok?..."

so ive been taking a lot of photos with this nikon D1 they gave me and the

snows piling up. i put brand new tires on the truck yesterday and can drive

all over the place safely now. we're going to check out a cabin to move into

maybe this weekend in a little while. its 6 miles outta town in the woods on

the swan river. you can be sure ill be sending along a photo if we get it. i

think i have to have a digital camera on me all the time now and when

leaving this job (no time soon) will have to purchase one of my own.

what are you up to? wish we could have had a couple more pints at the

curraugh. but we will.
later. let me know whatsup.

friends forever. but i thought you would like it too...

malibu,
yeah. i like those monteros. pretty sweeeeeeeeeet. i want to check one of

those out.

let me know what happens.

enough newspaper crap for today. im going home.
chow.
ps Amia Diorios at the cabin hooking up the the outlook express and getting the

internet service going. she's emailing me telling me the sally IT people

dont know what they are talking about, Amia Diorio said they are saying you need

a 'centurytel.net' email to use the centurytel smtp for our outgoing

mail...and on and on... all this technical stuff and she (Amia Diorio) is the one

whose right in this situation. haha. its pretty funny thinking about it.

like the boxing girl is now some IT bad ass. hehe.
later.
I did not yet find a vehicle to purchase. Cannot remember if I already

told you but I checked out a 4runner and a Montero sport last night.

The 98 4runner (51K) was quoted to me at $21K. This was with the HG

discount so I think that will not be my car of choice. The Montero was

a 2001 with 21K and they quoted me $18.5K. It was a cool truck and I am

thinking about it seriously. I did not want to spend that amount of

cash.

Kind of discouraged about Colleen's truck since it has 94K miles. Also

mentioned anything. I don't know that she is that serious about buying

the other car.

Tomorrow night I am going to the chevy dealer to take a look at things.

wassup?
we're in bigfork montana. i have been working shooting photos for the

newspaper (www.bigforkeagle.com) getting ready for some new painting

exhibits around this valley. we rented a badass cabin on rippling water at

the base of the swan range about a block from the swan river across the

road. we got a little 8 week old great pyranese/german sheppard/lab mix. his

name is arlo and he gets cooler everyday. we've been here for almost a

month, its been snowing tons and then a lot of sunny blue sky days. we have

an acre so im going to put up the hammock soon out back by arlos house and i

have a loft above the car port for a painting studio. Amia Diorio made sure we

brought as many paintings with this time as possible so i have 19 hanging

around the cabin, 1 in the office lobby of the newspaper, and one is being

donated this week for a fancy art and cultural center auction dinner.

oooo...fanceeey. some folks here were looking at my site and came across

your katahdin painting and they all said ohhh what a great photograph. hehe.

here are supposed to be just like heaven. look on the map, see flathead

lake, bigfork is right on the top east bank. glacier natl park is waiting

for me to come back for a visit.

heard about the hiptop from jobs and wozniak? looks pretty damn cool, im

thinking about getting one when my cell phone service contract runs out in

june. see it here: danger.com

all ages on her land somewhere near here and if she doesnt tag'em fish and

wildlife says they are going to "shoot" them?? i dont think they would shoot

them, but would take them away, give them a social security number, a

tracking device, a camera imbedded in their forheads and a really long

retractable leash, maybe even a paroll officer to check in with weekly.

right in front of me.

i hit send accidentally...

diego? i bet its pretty warm down there right now. its snowing again here.

the laptop outlook and not here at the office anyway. but ill be happy to

resend them. i thought you had an updated email address??
i shot a bunch of decent photos of some local skaters and wrote a story on

it. its running in the paper on wednesday.... you wanna copy?? send along

your USPS mailing address and ill put one in the mail. having a little

montana newspaper on ones coffee table tends to become a interesting

conversation piece!
were you able to view the photos of this place i sent?
we've only been here about 2 mo. and i just got an inquirey about my resume

from the hiring department at a company called Liquidus Marketing in

Chicago. probably some big loop firm. he said he wants to talk to me about a

job. if i told Amia Diorio i sent him my phone number she'd not be too happy. i

dont really want to move or even get a different job anytime in the near

future, but i think i should at least get the information.

tub again. I remember at that redstone cabin i didnt have a tub. and i

wonder how i got along without one, but then again, that was before i

realized the wonders of a hot bath. so i guess it was a situation where i

didnt miss it because i didnt know what i was missing.
but it was during that 2-3 months back somewhat stranded at my moms house

(after leaving CO due to the surrender of my drivers liscense and the

inability to go anywhere at all, let alone all the way to that wonderful

'job' on snowmass mountain) where i read so much buddhist literature and

eastern philosophy between five mile runs outside that i started laying in

the bath tub reading or looking at my dripping and slightly distorted

reflection in the faucet and drain cap down between my feet at the other end

of the tub.

not like i ever think about baths during the day, just sometimes when i get

back to the cabin after running outside and things are cold and wet, reading

in the hot bathtub creeps into my head and then i dont really have a choice.

of course, i do really, and thats not to be taken literally, but you know

what im saying.

hey. we came by the store sunday and i was going to call you so we could

was closed (like most everything else around here) on sunday. then i couldnt

find your home phone number so we drove over to jewel basin and hiked as

much as our water-logged snow covered boots could handle for one day. then i

found a huge cliff and jumped off it into the powder below. so then we did a

couple more jumps and went home.

hola stranger,

painting a lot. last night i ordered a jullian compact easel. its a backpack

easel, based on the french folding easels. it weights 13 lbs. its for

carrying into the back country around here for landscapes, etc. only after i

paint the cabin we're living in from out in the yard, then there's the old

brown saviorist church down the road with the swan range in the back drop.

so thats two new paintings so far. i've been really swept away lately by

monet's 'magpie'. check it out if you get a chance. its one bad ass mother fucker.

tell me whats up with you...! hurry!!!
