Vandals Spray Paint DinoSaur Park Again

  Little Bastards vanalized  Little Goats favorite Park. Going to have to  cut off a finger or two

Vandals used fluorescent pink and metallic gold spray paint to deface murals and playground equipment in the Dinosaur Park on the north side of Bozeman. It was the second incident of vandalism at the park in about a year.
Once again, police are after information about suspects who painted blatantly obscene images, hearts and “colored things in like a child,” Gallatin County Open Lands coordinator Mike Harris said Monday, taking a break from scrubbing one of the more offensive drawings off a climbing wall.
Harris said he discovered the graffiti Sunday when he brought his 6-year-old daughter to the park to play.
“It breaks my heart when they paint my little park,” Harris recalled her saying.
The playground was built in 2008 in the Gallatin County Regional Park by hundreds of volunteers.
Harris estimated the damage from both incidents to total between $3,000 and $10,000.
The vandals did a “paint-by-number” sort of job on three of the hand-painted murals, coloring a scenic river gold and painting bright pink ribs on a stegosaurus.

Gloom and Doom at the Gates of Mordor

  Gee I hope that title got somebody to read this post, the Valley of Bozeangeles has felt like an Army on  the plains of doom, waiting for the orcs to attack. Not much snow and not much good news on the economy. A good battle or epic blizzard would be better than this waiting. Little Goat was determined to get outside  so we were the only ones at the dinosaur park

wow how time flies

  Not that my readership has noticed , but a week just slipped by.  Still no snow here in Bozeangeles

Getting scary down south

This is why Church and state should be far apart. Some of our relegious leaders are no better than the radical islamists

What is wrong with our political system ?

""Best equipped to defeat Barack Obama.""
—Jon Huntsman, on Mitt Romney, Monday
""Completely unelectable.""
—Jon Huntsman, on Mitt Romney, last week


according to Chait:

Romney has been positively associated with "electability" because he is more electable than most of his rivals. But he is the one-eyed man in the land of the politically blind. Romney, by normal standards, is a terrible candidate. He is nowhere near as formidable as John McCain was four years before. ... He may win – he probably will win if the economy dips back into recession – but he is a weak candidate who in many ways embodies the public’s distrust of his party.

PPP's latest backs up Chait:

It's not as if Obama's suddenly become popular. He remains under water with 47% of voters approving of him to 50% who disapprove. But Romney's even less popular, with only 35% rating him favorably while 53% have a negative opinion of him. Over the last month Romney's seen his negatives with independents rise from 46% to 54%, suggesting that the things he has to say and do to win the Republican nomination aren't necessarily helping him for the general. Obama's turned what was a 45-36 deficit with independents a month ago into a 51-41 advantage.

Finally culture in Bozeangeles

The Gallitain Valley now has a roller derby team  and the Commical has a good  promo. Get out there girls and kick some ass.

Hey we are actually getting Snow here in the Bozeangeles area. It needs to dump to make up for our shortage  but I hope we get enough to keep the fire danger down this summer.




Yea Tebow blows it, Jesus  hath forsaken him

bozeangeles police reports (good ones )

A caller reported two people heading back to Bozeman from Salt Lake City with “a boatload of cocaine.” The case was turned over to the drug task force.

Officers assisted a woman who had lost her car on East Main Street around 1 a.m. “She was a block off.”

“At the officer’s request,” a man returned a glass he’d taken from a downtown bar.

Police warned two men on East Main Street around 2:30 a.m. for being disorderly “as they were having a heated discussion about the end of the world.”

Around 3 a.m., an officer helped “two people who didn’t know how to get home since their cellular phones weren’t working.”

A caller reported returning home from a trip and finding the window covering on his Flanders Creek Avenue home pulled back and a $20 bill on his dresser.

Residents of a northwest Bozeman neighborhood awoke to find the license plates of their vehicles spray-painted red.

A man, who mistakenly dialed 911, told a dispatcher it was“pilot error.”

The issues

  you notice how the GOP has really put the economic issues on the back burner.  ?

  Meanwhile here in the Bozeangeles area we are wondering where winter went ? I'd have hated to have investedin a Ski Pass this year ( not that with a 2 1/2 year old that I could afford one )

Ron Paul and the Island of Lost Toys

 

Part of the thing about Ron Paul is that I know even a Republican controled senate and House would not let him do what he think nees to be done. But he is Honest and actually believes what he says when he talks you have to admire him for that. I voted for him last time and I will likely vote for him again

Book About the Montana Hi line

MOntana Press
Bozeman resident, David Quammen, has a prominent role in a magazine this month, but this time it’s as a writer for National Geographic.
Quammen’s piece “Hi-Line, Hard Life,” in National Geographic’s January issue explores the resolve of the people making a life in northern Montana after the 1862 Homestead Act.
“Quammen describes the hype created by the government around the Homestead Act, and the realities the homesteaders encountered such as droughts and long winters,” Megan Heltzel of the National Geographic Society wrote in an e-mail to the Chronicle.
As much as the original homesteaders, Quammen writes of the resolve of their descendants – those living in the Hi-Line today.
“It’s a part of the stat that never appears in the Marlboro ads or the ski brochures,” he wrote. “Its beauties are sever and subtle and horizontal, rather than picturesque. It’s not for everybody.”
