Aloha, love your description of the cafe, you are an artist with the writing.....ever thought about a book? Your description of the cafe really paints a picture....here in Calif in the flatlands there are none like it, but if ya go up into the hills where the old gold rush towns are, you can find'em. BTW, what do the folk in Montana think sbout the series, Yellowstone? I feel the star of the series is the scenery of Gaia.....sometimes I pause it just to stare at the mountains, forests, etc.
Aloha, Richard! I am working on a couple of books. This is one of my favorite ways to write: a blend of observations and internality. We who "live in Montana" kinda think people who take "Yellowstone" seriously are...well, a bit...how shall I say, "succumbed to ways of tourons". The truth is, aside from a handful of family ranchers, that way of life in Montana has mostly been taken over by people who have no idea what the hell they're doing and the ones who do don't look like that! 🤣
Reading this I feel like I'm there. And, I'm going to put on a sweater. Would love to visit this Cafe, maybe this summer. HA! We used to have many cafes like this, I support the few left I can ride my bike to. Local venues like this got smashed out by the likes of Facebook, high powered corps with tons of money and the greedy of all stripes. The place I work, Saint Michael's Alley, has so far survived scence 1959. If you want a break from winter some time, come visit us. I will take care of you in my section.
I'd love to visit your restaurant. There's a few places like this and even older. I've spoken with the owner ac few times, and I sent him this essay today. I hope it reaches people. Simple humanity matters.
Charming would be lovely, but I left the cold weather back in Maryland 😎 I did live in the mountains in Colorado about 24 miles from Boulder but only lasted 8 months. Left to go home and find work, living in an old log cabin with no job just wouldn't cut it. I wonder sometimes if we just moved into Boulder, would I have stayed. But it was 1974, I was young and moved for love, he was a super nice guy, but no sense of responsibility.
