It may be summer where you are, but...

I am still waiting for summer! Here is a quick update: Yellowstone had one of the wettest and coldest winters in over 10 years. As a result, there is still plenty of snow on the ground. This is very different from last winter, which was very dry. Traffic does seem slower so far this year...partly due to the weather and gas prices.

I have my own apartment this year...which does make things a little easier. I bought myself a 26 inch LCD television and a playstation 3 to help entertain myself during the lonely nights. I also joined Netflix with the 3 movies out at a time plan. All of my current co-workers are couples, and the two who are still to come are 50 something year old women. So this summer will be about saving money and not spending it. I am also applying for jobs in west coast cities on my days off.

The scenery is amazing. This will be my last summer at Yellowstone, so I will enjoy the benefits.
