Obstacles, slowdowns, and stops have always perturbed me. I’ve lived in Los Angeles for the past six years, and getting around in a car or on foot in Los Angeles is nothing if not maddening and a massive time suck.

The open spaces of Montana speak to me; they open my chest. I breathe more deeply, I rest more easily, and I can move long distances and short ones with great speed. I think we may have found a new home.
