Loving this! John Muir, what a freakin' hippie!  (a hero of mine)

Crap. Wondering if that can compete with the bawdy Cloris Leachman in town, not that we saw her....but we're hearing stories....

At the reception there were snacks & treats. In addition to the Fat Tires there were deep fried mushrooms an jalapeño peppers AND popcorn and candy in the auditorium! Living large in Cody!

We went to a screening at Buffalo Bill Historical Center. Charlie was good for about 30 minutes, so he and I wandered around the Whitney. Alone. Not even a guard tailing us. Fools!
 
But it was cool. Sat in front of Al Simpson (he and Justine admired each other's sweaters—same shade of wtf blue), hit the open bar (!) for a couple Fat Tires, were a bit worried that everyone there was somebody. Only about 50 showed up and no other little kids, so ours were under a lot of pressure to be sweet——and mostly pulled it off! Woohoo!

Wow, I learned SO much in just the first episode!
They should make a movie about the entire life of John Muir, and Gary Oldman should play him. And if he's too busy, then James McAvoy, who would have the natural accent and kind blue eyes. Get to it, Hollywood!

It aired at 8pm, but it's airing again at 10pm. Hooray for second chances!

This whole watchin' TV thing (for me) is few and far between...so thank heavens for RP to let me know what's up.

Thanks for the heads up guys, it's on HD up here tonight at 8. Just set my DVR to record

You get the feeling that this - way back in the back of this idea - might actually have something to do with our national discussion. 

Nice. 

Burns is a damn socialistic propagandist. I aint goin to no NATIONAL park!
