Come to Missoula! Have a Ball!

It may be unfair that I joke about Missoula as a vacation destination since I didn't actually stop in Missoula proper. But, then again, the reason I didn't stop is that, from I-90, it didn't look very inviting. Maybe it hides its treasures. I'll never know.
Where I did stop today was at Cold Rock, home of the annual ''Testicle Festival''. Their 25th is this August, but the restaurant/bar was still open. They taste like veal. (No. I heard from the owner.) I read that they get about 10,000 visitors who consume 5,000 pounds of bull testicles. (Not each.) For more info visit www.testyfesty.com.
In some ways there is a vas deferens between Montana and New York.

I won't even go there...and I hope your students and family are not traumatized by this - ode to Familt - ahem.

Misery in Missoula it seems. Glad you're having a ball - pun very much intented.

Amanda sends her best...actually her actual words were "Been there, done that". Not quite sure if she meant her bike trek across Denmark (which took 5 weeks coincidentally) in 1992, or the festival of testicles...she swears it was in Denmark that year.

Wish we were there!
