Kerr Dam, May 2013

I'm waiting for the director to sign my papers so I can work, he wasn't there earlier so I will check back maybe close to eleven or ten thirty. It's been a process seeking work. I'm glad I'm healthy enough to work. This picture was taken in May I think over by Kerr Dam, we drove on Valley View road to Vicki's dad place in the old agency housing. We walked down to Kerr Dam and visited the site. I was unsure about my physical condition and did not want to over exert myself and trigger another heart attack. I didn't trigger another heart attack and this picture was a testament to it. The mountains in back are the Missions, they are part of a chain of mountains that stretches from Saint Ignatius all the way to Big Fork and beyond. I think the mountains are very picturesque so I don't have a problem photographing them.

As you can see, the grass it quite brown because it hasn't rained in awhile, it rained all winter but it did not freeze, we had two days where it froze or where we had any snow, I was disappointed by their winter. I thought we were in for it. The mountains received a reasonable amount of snow but not in the lowlands around Polson and Pablo, Montana. There were plenty of days when it was overcast and cold, it was cold but not too cold. So it was enlightening living up here for a winter and seeing a different locale than New Mexico. I was homesick but I got over it and enjoyed the winter somewhat. The Morigeau family experienced a horrific winter, their favorite son, Doug Morigeau was brutally murdered in December. His attacker just wanted cigarettes. I can't believe his reasoning, he was murdered for a pack of cigarettes, logic escapes me when I think about it. Doug's murder has yet to be tried and might end up in the mental hospital, we are hoping he gets at least life imprisonment or the death penalty. This country's justice system needs overhauling. Murderers can get out of prison in maybe ten, twelve years while the people they murdered are gone forever. Something is not right with the system.
