^^^Ben, it is time to move to the Dutton ranch and take the brand.

He's whine about all the tourists going to Yellowstone and the trustifarians (hipsters) in Bozeman.

Plus all the snow in that valley from Oct-Apr.

So do the Dutton's so I'd fit right in. Other than they don't get near enough snow there.

Also 75% of the filming is in Utah.

Lots of filming in Utah, but the mansion is in Montana near Darby.  Season 4 was all filmed in Montana since the Utah tax incentives ran out.

Bozeman gets between 60-70" of snow each year.

Dutton's are fictional, the trustifarians of Bozeman are not.

Enough for skiers, snowshoes and snowmobilers. i.e. people invading the area.

I'm guessing that is in the mountains also that is from 1950-1995, annual snowfall in a lot places out west has declined a lot in the last 25 years.

And now here comes the sequel:

My wife and I watched it last night. I thought it was a 90 minute commercial to carry a gun if you live or work in downtown Seattle.  I saw a lot of this stuff as I was walking 0.5 miles from the train station downtown to my office at 0615.  I am so glad I no longer work in downtown Seattle.

I lived in Capitol Hill near the CHAZ from 14 to 16 as a teacher.  Got out for a few reasons, cost of living a big one.  I am glad I got out when I did

What I never understood about Libprogs is why did they move out of a shithole they contributed to and then work overtime to screw up where they went.

I was an elected Township Trustee as well as working as an appointed goobermint critter on several Township and County boards.  The area where I lived was very rural with a lot of unpaved roads, several lakes, streams, a major river, a national forest, prairie land, swamps, fairly low taxes etc.  In other words not like living in the city. 

On more than one occasion people would come to our monthly township board public meetings and whine about wanting sidewalks, paved roads, street lighting and other big city amenities.  I always asked them why did they move to our township?  The answer always was about the ambiance of what I mentioned above.  I then would ask why then are you here wanting all of the "conveniences" of the city you moved away from?  Further, why don't you just go back to the city you came from and we'll continue to keep the ambiance you came for as we actually really like it that way.

I saw an article the other day basically titled something like "US cities are going to be a thing of the past", wish I could find it. Spelled out a lot of things why people are leaving.

I am intrigued that the same groups that re-popularized the use of Molotov Cocktails this summer, as well as fireworks that explode with little bits of burning metal want to make their walls out of wood and buildings out of nylon.

*expletive deleted*it like that little hamlet is why fire codes exist.

We want to clean the park up not turn it something that looks like the surface of the moon. But keep one on standby just in case we change our minds,

This spiritual pandemic needs to be isolated and quarantined so that it can run its course.

The cure has been rejected so let it burn out naturally, while protecting the uninfected. 

Stop feeding the disease and giving it access to new hosts.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Yeah, I was thinking precision guided munitions would be more appropriate.  Or just a sniper or two from a suitable position.

It would need to be paved over. Not something I would be against IF the skate rats pay for it. Oh yeah, it's Seattle, they can steal the money with the city's blessing because they "need" it. We're going to need more than one B-52 if you catch my drift.

Don't want to irradiate E. Washington St. Aren't they mostly on our side or let God sort them out?
