Absolutely beautiful pics!
Regarding Absinthe, in the land of the free it is only allowed to contain 10 ppm or less thujone (the "active" ingredient from sources such as Wormwood). So, practically speaking, Absinthe in the U.S. is really not much different than very high proof alcohol, because that is the only other difference...high alcohol content.
EDIT: I meant to add, 10 ppm or less is officially/legally considered "thujone free", because it essentially has little or no affect.

I think it's better than Lucid and aesthetically better than St. George though it's apples and oranges taste wise. I don't think it can surpass Duplais which is my favorite, but it's light years better than any Spanish Absinthe I've tried.

Here is the wife and I near some rapids in the park. Places like Montana are great to visit because any given pic of your surroundings looks like a post card!

I went to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation today and they had a 12oz tin of Mixture 79 behind the counter at the store! I wasn't brave enough to try it. I bought PA instead.

I did! I have an HTC Evo 4G and it has a pretty decent camera on it. It actually has a better range than my old digital camera and I can shoot pix and they upload directly to Photobucket. No need for a big memory card. Then I can resize and BAM! I can even send them electronically to a local store and get prints. I wonder what I could pull off with a real camera?
