Sorry, Randy, but this just can’t wait to be posted — this is urgent, because it’s so deliciously humourous, and partially accurate.
SIX THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT MONTANA
Some samples from each of the Six Things:
1. No, we’re not all survivalist freaks. Plan a move — or even a visit — to Montana and the first, second and last question anyone will ask is if you’re off to become an anti-technology right-wing hermit/gun nut in a rundown log cabin somewhere
2. We’ve also got the country’s largest Superfund site, and it’s so big that to call it a “site” doesn’t do it justice.
3. Yes, Virginia, Montana does have a speed limit!
4. Think of Montana as your home away from home. If you’re rich, anyhow.
5. And so there remain, like the tingling of ghost limbs, residual rites of passage required of newbies, and these tend to revolve, Fear Factor-style, around the eating of nasties.
6. If Montana were to secede from the union to become its own sovereign nation (and don’t push us, man, we’ll do it), we would instantly become the world’s fourth-largest nuclear power.
You really need to read the whole thing.

I love that. Hehe. Thanks for posting that.
Heck, I knew all that stuff and I still come to Montana several times a month! Not brave, blonde!
Great stuff! People ask me this stuff all the time, because they only get their views of Montanans from CNN!
I’ve been by the Berkley Pit. Yes, it IS big and ugly, but it’s OUR big and ugly! Maybe, we should open it up to boat rides and charge admission! It could be an environmentalists theme park!
I know Montana has a speed limit now, but even when it didn’t (for a couple of years), I didn’t find that people drove any faster than 75 or 80. Oh yeah, you’d get the occasional 90 or 100 MPH, but most of the time, people drive the speed that the road will safely allow!
Thanks!
