Tania,

Well, sometimes the attention and jokes aren't very nice (they usually have to do with Rob Lowe's sex scandal from a couple of years ago!).  I wish that some movie company would see my name and suddenly want to star me in a multi-million dollar movie, however.....  :-)

In the U.S., you can request that your name not be published in the phone books, or that your number not be put in directory assistance.  There arn't many Lowe's in this part of the country, although we've run across a few (usually they're old farts that are in thier 80's or 90's!).

Ya, it is nice being able to know quite a few people.  However, it gets old when rumors fly, because they move faster than you'd imagine.  There are quite a few gossips around---if you ever want to pass the word around town, you just tell one of these women and you can be assured that it will be spread ALL over in a few days.  It is quite different living near the reservation, because the indians (sorry, Native Americans) have quite a different set of morals and living standards than the rest of us do.  Un
employment is at 75% on the reservation, and there is a lot of poverty.  Drugs and drinking are REALLY bad.... they have a big problem with alcoholics.  They have sun dances and other types of pow-wows, and thats usually when they get all dressed up in Native American garb.  Other than that, they dress the same as we all do up here.

Ya, I've been hiking several times, but not lately.  Hardin is really flat (well, not REALLY flat, but flatter than what I'm used to!).  There arn't really any mountains around here, you have to go further west or south.

I don't really dig rap, some types are o.k., but I prefer to stick to pop, rock, and classical.  I really like groups from England, (europe), Austrailia, and other places.  No, I haven't heard of Kyle Minogue.  In Montana, we are usually behind the times (meaning, we don't get anything new until it is old to everyone else, but new to us!!!!  :)

Well, my first day really stunk.  Actually, my first week was really bad.  I think this next week will be better, but I hope I make it through this year without any major nervous breakdowns!  Did I tell you my schedule?  If not, I'll leave it in my next message.

Oops, I only have a few minutes left and my dad wants to use the phone so I'll sign off now.  CWYL (Chat With You Later.....)

                                Ciao,
