No more John’s in Bozeman

We stopped in Bozeman for lunch, we just can’t wait until Butte, and lucky for us Google and John’s web site say there is a John’s here.

But there is no longer a John’s here. If you look closely at the pic you may be able to make out the outline of the old sign.

The dude behind the counter of the new restaurant recognized my Rothbury shirt, though, he was there too! That’s cool.

So you need some SSL help

While fueling up the RV in Billings this morning I saw this ad placed above the pump that caught my attention.  The ad is from ZeeCreative a company that offers web design, hosting and other consulting services.

Are there a lot of folks in Billings, MT who are filling up their tanks and thinking, “Who can help me sort out an SSL certificate for my web site?”

Just struck me as funny.

Here is a closeup of the ad.

Custer’s Last Stand

Our plan was to spend the night in Billings, Montana and on the way there we stopped at the site of the Battle of Little Bighorn.

On this hill Custer and his men fought against the indians but lost and were killed.  There is no way to know how authentic the placements are, but one thing that is neat about the monument is they have gravestones placed where Cavalry soldiers fell.  This gives the place more emotion.  I was expecting to find just a hill, and a hill indistiguishable from nearby hills would have had much less impact.
