An Artist's Retreat with an Unusual Artist
Summer 2010 I was fortunate enough to be able to go on a 2 week Artist's Retreat at Blueberry View in Michigan. with one of my companion dogs. As it happens this dog is also an artist in his own right. He's a sculptor. I only know this because somewhere along the way I started to pay attention to what he was doing. It occurred to me to start saving his nightly creative output instead of tossing it into the recycling bin.
This video shows the results of that aha moment:
if you treat it like art, it is art.
The take-home message of our 170 page book is that no matter what your creative output, no matter how others might judge it – if you treat it like art, it is art. Thus if you believe you're making art – it is art and you are then by pure default an artist. If you make art, it is and you are an artist. If you are construed to make art – then you are construed to likewise be an artist.
Perception is Everything
Perception is everything! And who better to live simply through their own raw perceptions and interpretations of those than our good friends, dogs!

By Steve Heeb
Jeff Grubbs took up drag racing steadily in 2007, fielding a '67 Camaro at Pacific Raceways.
"I'd always been into hot rods and wanted to go fast," the Olympia driver says. "I used to street race back when I went to Olympia High School. The drag strip is safer and I didn't want to get into any more trouble."
Jeff raced the Camaro for two seasons, with the 383-cid Stroker small block Chevy motor powering the car through 10.20-second passes.
"I'm not a super competitor," Jeff says. "I'm more in it for the adrenaline."
His quest for speed has taken him to Bremerton, Pacific Raceways and Woodburn, as well as the 1/8-mile Riverdale strip in Toutle.
"Woodburn is my favorite," Jeff says of the places where he has raced. "It's all concrete. The car sticks and it is better prepped."
In 2010, Jeff started fielding a tube-chassis '65 Chevelle. Jeff recalls a scary incident driving the Chevelle during the Goodguys Drags last year.
"The throttle stop stuck wide open at 139 mph," Jeff says of rocketing down the dragstrip at Pacific Raceways.
"We removed the throttle stop after that," says Jeff Bond, who helps take care of tire pressures and fluids on race day.
Last September, Jeff pulled the 406-cid motor out of the Chevelle and bolted it into a '57 Chevy 150, making its debut at Bremerton in April.
"The car feels good," Jeff said after a few shakedown passes. "I want to run in the 10.0s but I'll have to do a gear change because it's running in the 10.3s now.
Jeff gets help from engine builder and veteran racer Stan Leerkamp.
"Stan is very knowledgeable," Jeff says. "Probably the smartest guy I've met. He told me: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.'"
Bob Pressley at Weatherguard Roofing provides the fuel for Jeff's racing, and good friend Jeff Bond helps out in the pits on race days.
"He takes care of the tire pressures and the fluids," Jeff Grubbs says of his old schoolmate. "And moral support too."
"We've known each other since high school and I started working for him last July," Jeff Bond explains. "It's nice to work with someone who appreciates nice stuff and keeps it nice."
Jeff Grubbs lists the '57 Chevy as his personal favorite among the cars he's had.
Jeff Bond also is building a '67 Firebird that he has had since the '80s, with sights set on joining the '57 on race days.
"I hope to have it out on the track later this year," Jeff says of prepping the 465-cid Pontiac for racing. "I'm looking to run the high 10s but I'd be happy with the low 11s."
Jeff Grubbs certainly was happy with the first few passes in the '57 Chevy during the Easter Bunny Nationals at Bremerton Raceway, cutting a .001 light for the first time.
When he's not racing, Jeff rides Harley Davidson motorcycles as well as quads in Oregon on the sand dunes in Florence and Coos Bay.
"That, and working on hot rods," Jeff says. "And working to pay for it all."

Coral reefs provide habitat to some of Earth's most diverse ecosystems - from sea horses to reef sharks to teeny tiny snails, coral reefs can even make rainforests seem a bit boring. However, in addition to the well studied threats to coral reefs like warming oceans, storm frequency, and ocean acidification, scientists have described an additional threat to reef survival: Dredging.
Humans have been dredging, or digging up the bottoms of rivers and bays, since 4000 BC when the Nile River's floodwater was channeled to feed a rapidly growing population. Similarly, most dredging operations today serve to provide large vessels access to bays and rivers that would otherwise be too shallow.
While good for commerce, dredging can be quite destructive to surrounding habitats. In efforts to relocate vast amounts of submerged earth, sand and mud are quickly suspended, forming an underwater dust storm and blocking light until the dust settles.
For marine life like fish, crabs, and turtles, this may not be a big problem - they can swim out of the dust storm, and into better conditions. But for organisms that are not as mobile, like corals and sea anemones, there is risk of getting buried.
Underwater 'dust storms' are not just a man-made phenomenon - they happen naturally too, particularly during hurricanes, so many immobile critters have adapted ways to dust themselves off. Corals, for example, secrete a mucus sand trap, shrugging the sandy layer off in an elegant bundle of mucus. So dredging might not be an issue for corals either, right?
Unfortunately, the story is not quite this simple. Scientists at the Australian Institute of Marine Science studied the effects of an extensive dredging project off of Barrow Island, a large island off of Australia's west coast and Australia's largest producer of oil. The researchers found the reaction of corals to the dredging-induced sand infiltration depended on two key factors: the thickness of the suspended sand cloud, and the temperature of the water.
The study was conducted for a year-and-a-half and monitored 1,500 corals from within a half mile of the dredging site to over 20 miles away, making it one of the largest studies on the effects of dredging on coral reefs to ever be conducted.
The dredging project began concurrently with an ocean 'heat wave', meaning the local ocean was much warmer than average. Heat waves like this often stimulate coral bleaching, where corals release their microscopic algal symbionts, which can be a precursor to coral death. The reason corals expel their symbionts under stress is not well understood.
In the context of this heat wave, the effects of dredging on local coral reefs depended on the severity of the sand's light-blocking and dust cover. When the water was warm, the moderate light reduction caused by the sand storm decreased coral bleaching, particularly for 'branching' species like Elkhorn coral.
However, when the sand storm caused severe light-blocking and coral burial, the stress of the sand outweighed the sand's ability to prevent bleaching. Additionally, distance from the dredging site impacted coral survival. Corals within a few hundred feet of the dredging site were less likely to survive, particular when dredging coincided with the heat wave.
In other words, the underwater upheaval of sand ended up benefiting some corals during unseasonably warm conditions, but overall the combination of the the heat wave with dredging activity resulted in greater coral mortality than dredging during more typical temperatures. Taken together, the results of this work suggest the management of local environmental pressures, such as ocean heat waves, may have the capacity to reduce the impact of endeavors like dredging.

Phils drop 5th straight, fall to .500; Altherr exits
DENVER - Aaron Altherr crashed face first into the left-field wall Monday night at Coors Field, futilely pursuing a fly ball that cleared the fence and hit the face of a Rockies fan that missed the ball with his glove.The Phillies' once promising season is ending in painful fashion.Philadelphia lost
The Phillies' once promising season is ending in painful fashion.
Philadelphia lost Monday to the Rockies, 10-1, to fall to 78-78. It is the first time the Phillies have been .500 since April 10, when they were 5-5.
"It's evidence that we haven't played good baseball for quite some time," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said.
It has been a heck of a slide. The Phillies had the second-best record (63-48) in the National League on Aug. 5. They have the worst record (15-30) in the league since. Philadelphia entered its current eight-game road trip through Atlanta and Colorado knowing it needed to win almost every game to have a chance to overtake the Braves in the NL East. Instead, the Phillies lost their first five.
They have not looked competitive in the process.
"I don't think we're out of gas," Kapler said. "I think we're continuing to fight, we're continuing to battle."
Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin allowed five runs in 2 2/3 innings. He left with the bases loaded in the third inning because of left side tightness, which he started to feel during his Sept. 14 start against the Marlins. Eflin will fly to Philadelphia to be examined, and it's unlikely he pitches again this season.
"I really couldn't tell you what it is," Eflin said. "I kind of jammed it. I landed awkwardly two starts ago. I felt something that I shouldn't have been feeling. It's completely manageable. This time it just grabbed a little more than normal."
Left-hander Austin Davis walked home two of Eflin's runs, and a wild pitch scored another.
Two of Rios' runs scored on
Altherr showed concussion symptoms and received testing for that. He also suffered a sprained big right knee and a bruised right knee.
"We'll have him checked out again before we clear him," Kapler said of Altherr's concussion symptoms.
The Phillies need to win four of their remaining six games to finish with their first winning record since 2011. It will be very difficult to do so, considering the way they have played the past several weeks and the fact the Rockies are fighting for their postseason lives.
"It's not fun," Eflin said. "It is frustrating. But at the end of the day, we've played some really good baseball this year. A lot of guys have taken a big step forward. We understand that. We're looking forward to being able to have a healthy offseason and having a lot of people make strides this offseason for next year.
"We're just as excited as we were in Spring Training. Nobody thought we'd be in the position we were a couple weeks ago when we were in the middle of it."
The Phillies are 6-16 (.273) in September. It is their lowest winning percentage in September/October since 1942, when they finished 6-21 (.222).
Phillies center fielder
"If you need some evidence of that, you can look at the home run that Rhys hit. Obviously, he didn't have to go up there and give everything he had and compete and fight, and he did. Look no further than
Third baseman
Phillies right-hander Vince Velasquez (9-11, 4.59 ERA) faces the Rockies on Tuesday night in the second game of a four-game series at Coors Field, with first pitch set for 8:40 p.m. ET. The Rockies will start

HTC Incredible :: Make Shortcut On Homescreen To EmailOct 5, 2010
This is going to sound odd, but I am trying to make a shortcut on my homescreen to email myself. This seems simple, but it looks like whenever I put a contact in my address book with ANY of my email addresses, it isn't available to be used for a shortcut. Try this and tell me that I'm not going crazy. ...but please TRY it before you post the instructions. I say this because I got my boss to try it and he thought I was being a smartass until he tried to do it. A shortcut to email to myself is really helpful for tracking things and is like a to do list for me.View 2 Replies

The Thought Bubble guest list is growing and we're pleased to announce that we're now on it! We'll be there all weekend signing copies of Apollo on the SelfMadeHero table as well as taking part in a talk (details TBC).
The Thought Bubble guest list is growing and we're pleased to announce that we're now on it! We'll be there all weekend signing copies of Apollo on the SelfMadeHero table as well as taking part in a talk (details TBC).
The first Apollo review has dropped and it's a good one (breathes sigh of relief).
You can read it on the Publisher's Weekly website, but we've also handily copied and pasted it below…
"Fitch, Baker, and Collins—a trio of Brits—bring an outsider's POV to a quintessential American tale in this multi-layered graphic dramatization of the Apollo 11 mission that took Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the moon and back home again. The narrative opens with a visually dynamic presentation of the Apollo 11 launch at Cape Kennedy and ends with a haunting sequence looking at the Earth from the lunar surface, as the astronauts' command module slowly recedes from view. All the major events—e.g. "one small step for man"—are represented, but it's the depictions of smaller moments that set this telling apart. Remarkable scenes include the astronauts doing zero-G push-ups, a cutaway to President Nixon in the White House ranting about how history will blame him if the astronauts die but credit Kennedy if they live, and a truly surreal sequence where command module pilot Michael Collins plays a game of one-on-one basketball on the Sea of Tranquility with a jive-talking hippie who declares "They call me the Spirit of America." The moon landing is one of the most well-documented events in human history, but it's reimagined here in a way that makes it feel new again. Lovers of space-race lore will want to pick this up."
This week marks the end of production on Apollo. Mike (Art), Kris (Colours), Jason (Colours) and Ian (Letters) are still racing to finish the book as the print deadline approaches while Matt & Chris (writers) make final tweaks to the dialogue and help oversee the proofing, layout and design of the book alongside Guillaume Rater, our editorial and Production Manager at SelfMadeHero.
It's been a long, fun, sometimes tricky process, but we can confidently say we've all put our absolute best into this book and we can't wait for the world to see it.
Without being too spoilery (yes, they make it to the moon!) here's a sneak peek at a few recently finished pages…
Drumroll please…
Feast your eyes on the cover to Apollo, designed by Dan Forde with illustration by our very own Mike Collins.
On the surface, Apollo is a story about astronauts. But it's also a story about life, death and dreams. The intention with this cover was to try and capture some of that vibe.
Apollo has been meticulously researched with the intention of being a 100% accurate account of the Apollo 11 mission… but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun!
Below are Mike's development sketches for a character we like to call 'The Spirit of America', along with the reference board we gave Mike when he started work on the project.
Buzz Aldrin was and is a complex man. In Apollo we hope to explore some of this inspirational man's more introspective moments.
This wonderfully simple panel by Mike depicts Buzz contemplating both his past and his future as he prepares to land on the moon, and seemed a fitting post for New Year's eve as people all around the world look back and forwards at their own lives.
President John F. Kennedy never got to see his vision of a man on the moon 'in this decade'… that honour fell to President Nixon. In this scene we explore Nixon's insecurity living in the great JFK's shadow.
Before making history on the moon, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong both flew in the Korean War. The page below is taken from a scene following Buzz's time in combat.
It's been a very long time since we posted on the blog, mainly because we've been busy turning all that research into ART (by 'we', we mean Mike, along with colourist Kris Carter and Letterer Ian Sharman).
We don't want to spoil too much, but we'll be giving you sneak peeks at a couple of non-spoilery pages over the next few days. To kick off, here's a splash page from a scene revolving around the ill-fated crew of Apollo 1. Without the sacrifice of Gus Grissolm, Ed White and Roger Chaffee, Neil, Buzz and Mike would never have made it to the moon.

I can tell
when you, my friend, are not feeling well.
Even when you are far away
or have been hiding from me today.
A message of a special kind
is sent to my telepathic mind.
I cannot save you from turbulences,
cannot tear down all the fences.
But I can charge up your battery,
give you some of my energy -
can stand right next to you
to help you through.
I will give you a hug,
infect you with the love bug
and the strength it brings
to give your soul wings.
It will ease your pain,
save you from more restrain.
Rest safely in my arm,
away from any harm.
Take a moment to relax
Let me carry you in my tracks.
So please, just let me know
when you are feeling low.
And when I have a time like this –
give ME a friendly hug and kiss.
Turn around and come to me
to restore MY energy.
Be what I am to you:
A friend, caring and true.

Indians had lived in the Henry's Fork country--as well as in all the surrounding area--for some ten thousand years or more before white men began to explore that part of the country at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In the years immediately before the white men came, mounted bands of Northern Shoshoni frequented Henry's Fork. Entirely different kinds of Indians also came there: Blackfeet, Flatheads, Nez Perce, and Gros Ventre (Astina), especially. Located immediately to the south of the headwaters of the Missouri, Henry's Fork bordered on country into which the Blackfeet had advanced not long before the white men came. Resolute Blackfoot opposition to the whites menaced early exploration of their lands. Lewis and Clark managed to get through the Blackfoot country north of Henry's Fork in 1805 and 1806, and white exploration expanded from the upper Missouri to Henry's Fork in 1808.
John Colter, who had been on the transcontinental expedition of Lewis and Clark, remained in the Missouri region after 1806 to work for Manuel Lisa's Missouri Fur Company. In 1808, he was sent out to inform the Crows and other natives of the country north and east of Henry's Fork that Lisa planned to develop an upper Missouri fur trade on a large scale. Coming from the Yellowstone up the Bighorn, Colter continued southward into the upper Wind River country. Then he went on to Jackson's Hole and crossed Teton Pass into Pierre's Hole (now known as Teton Valley) through which the Teton River flows on its way into Henry's Fork. (The exact route of John Colter is disputed by some who suggest the route was much smaller and excluded a number of these sites.) In 1809, Peter M. Weiser, another member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, went southward from the forks of the Missouri: judging by a map that William Clark later published, he crossed over the Divide to Henry's Fork, where he reported that trapping was good.
Fur hunters who followed up Colter's and Weiser's investigation of the upper Missouri and Henry's Fork country found that exploration had been considerably safer than trapping. Andrew Henry brought an expedition to the forks of the Missouri in the interests of the Missouri Fur Company in 1810. After a battle with the Blackfeet, April 12, he decided he ought to work in less dangerous country. So he crossed over to Henry's Fork--which was named for him--to take advantage of the good trapping which Wiser reported. There he erected a winter post called Henry's Fort. Game was scarce and, after that one winter, he and his men all left. Some of them met an expedition of trappers of John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company on the way to the newly-founded outpost of Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia. Acting on the advice of Henry's men, Wilson Price Hunt and his Astorians cut across from the Missouri to Teton Pass and Henry's Fork. They stopped briefly at Fort Henry, and then continued on their way down the Snake River in search of a good route to the lower Columbia. A returning party of Astorians learned in 1812 form a Bruneau Indian of a better route farther to the south through South Pass, so the group headed south before swinging down Snake River and across Teton Valley to ascent Teton Pass. John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company proved to be a commercial failure. His trappers, however, helped to develop the fur trade to Henry's Fork. The Astorians had come across good trapping in the Henry's Fork country, and some of them stayed on with the North West Company, which took over the Pacific Fur Company in 1813. That organization, a Montreal concern, had already been established in the Northwest before the Astorians arrived; as the Columbia operations for the North West Company expanded, the fur trade again reached Henry's Fork.
Donald Mackenzie, who had come through Henry's Fork with the Astorian expedition, took charge of the Snake country fur trade for the North West Company in 1816. by 1818, he had a large Snake expedition working in all parts of the Snake River Valley. The Snake Brigade which he organized made a regular annual trip hunting furs from 1818 down through 1832. Although information as to where his early expeditions went is somewhat fragmentary at best, Mackenzie's men probably got into the Henry's Fork country. After Mackenzie went onto another part of the country, Michel Bourdon took the Snake expedition into the upper Snake River Valley in 1822. Finnan MacDonald (who, with David Thompson, had started the Idaho fur trade in 1808) led the Snake expedition back into Henry's Fork in 1823. There he ran into trouble with the Blackfeet. Later that year on the upper Lemhi, MacDonald burned out a hostile Blackfoot band. This did not make the Blackfeet any more friendly. From then on, the Blackfeet were more respectful when they met with traders from the Hudson's Bay Company, which had taken over the Snake expedition of the North West Company two years before (actually the Hudson's Bay Company and the Northwest Company had merged under the name of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821) Yet the Blackfeet remained a menace. Entirely independent of their battles with MacDonald, they destroyed, on May 21, 1823, a party of Missouri Fur Company trappers who had been operating on the upper Missouri. As a result, mountain men working for St. Louis companies avoided the upper Missouri and adjacent Henry's Fork for a while.
After his excessive trouble with the Blackfeet, Finnan MacDonald decided that he had seen enough of the Snake country. In 1824, Alexander Ross came out with the Snake expedition. A group of Iroquois Indians, who had been with the Snake Brigade from its beginning, wanted to take a chance on returning to Henry's Fork and Pierre's Hole: they were led, in fact, by old Pierre Tevanitagon, for whom Pierre's Hole was named. But the Iroquois went to the Portneuf where they ran into trouble with the Snake Indians. Finally, destitute, they met Jedediah Smith and six other mountain men operating in the interests of William H. Ashley from St. Louis. Smith was happy to help the Iroquois get back to Alexander Ross and the Snake River Brigade; that gave him a chance to follow the Snake Brigade round that winter. Scouting the country in which the Hudson's Bay trappers worked, he learned about Henry's Fork and Pierre's Hole. Needless to say, the last thing the Hudson's Bay Company wanted was to have competition; the British, in fact, were already doing what they could to trap out the whole Snake country in order to create a barren zone that would keep the St. Louis trappers from coming farther into the Pacific Northwest. This policy was relatively successful. When Peter Skene Ogden--leading the first of his six Snake expeditions--reached Henry's Fork in the summer of 1825, he noticed that while it used to have lots of beaver, it was pretty well trapped out. Moreover, he found thirty mountain men busily engaged in catching whatever beaver remained there.
Even though trapping had depleted the beaver resources of Henry's Fork, representative of the firm of Smith, Jackson, and Sublette, organized in Cache Valley, July 18, 1826, went to work there that fall. A party led by William L. Sublette (who had been with Jedediah Smith in 1824), David E. Jackson, and Robert Campbell trapped both forks of Henry's fork and went on to investigate some of the wonders of Yellowstone Park. The British had not lost interest in the area either. John McLoughlin, who managed the Columbia fur trade for the Hudson's Bay Company, felt that a party stronger than Ogden's regular Snake Brigade ought to work for three more seasons in the Teton-Henry's Fork-upper Missouri country. As trapping continued, though, the Snake country had less and less to offer; mountain men seem to have been at work each season in Henry's Fork, and by 1830, the dangerous Blackfoot country of the upper Missouri had what little promise was left in those parts.
The resumption of fur hunting on Henry's Fork came after the 1832 annual rendezvous in Pierre's Hole. Each July the mountain men ad a grand meeting in which they sold their catch and received new supplies from the St. Louis companies which managed the Rocky Mountain fur trade. After the Pierre's Hole rendezvous had ended in a wild Indian battle, July 18, 1832, James Bridger and Thomas Fitzpatrick took a party through Henry's Fork to the upper Missouri. The next spring, Nathaniel Wyeth reached Henry's Fork on his way back to another rendezvous. Warren A. Ferris accompanied a party which traversed Henry's Fork in May, 1834; then Jim Bridger camped on Henry's Fork with sixty whites and twenty Flatheads for some time in the fall of 1835 prior to settling down until March 26, 1836, in winter quarters at the forks of the Snake. After defeating a Blackfoot band to the north, Bridger returned for another encampment at Henry's Lake, June 6, 1838. There he met still more Blackfeet. By now, though, their power was broken. Osborne Russell reported that "we concluded to move camp to the village and smite it, without leaving one to tell their fate, but when within about two miles of the village we met six of them coming to us unarmed, who invited us in the most humble and submissive manner to their village to smoke and trade. This proceeding conquered the bravest in our camp, for we were ashamed to think of fighting a few poor Indians, nearly dwindled to skeletons by the smallpox, and approaching us without arms. We stopped, however, and traded with them and then started on our journey . . . ."
Although Osborn Russell was back trapping on Henry's Fork as late as September 2, 1839, the fur trade for that part of the country was about over. A few of the mountain men stayed around, and one of them--Richard Leigh, generally known as Beaver Dick--settled on Henry's Fork. Retired fur traders still could put their knowledge of the land to use, though. Jim Bridger guided Captain William F. Raynolds' party of Army surveyors who were out searching for good wagon road routes through Henry's Fork in 1860; the pass Raynolds preferred still goes by his name. F. V. Hayden, who was along on Raynold's expedition, later employed Beaver Dick as a guide when he returned to resume geologic investigation of the Henry's Fork, Yellowstone, and Teton country in 1871-1872. Creation of Yellowstone National Park in 1872 grew in part out of these scientific expeditions, and brought the beginnings of a new era of tourism to the region.
Meanwhile, settlement was coming almost to the border of the Henry's Fork country. Mines discovered in 1862 at East Bannock and in 1863 at Virginia City brought a gold rush to the north. An Eagle Rock ferry went into operation on Snake River below the forks, June 20, 1863, to serve the new mines. By the summer of 1865, J. Matt Taylor's toll bridge improved the Montana road crossing at later Idaho Falls. A telegraph line connecting Virginia City with Salt Lake reached Taylor's bridge, July 16, 1866, and the Henry's Fork country no longer was so far from communication with the rest of the world. The Montana road and telegraph, though, came up Beaver Canyon to the west of Henry's Fork, and for a few more years the area still was largely bypasses.
Stock raisers came into the Henry's Fork area with the advent of mining. One of them--Gilman Sawtell (for whom Sawtell's Peak is named)--worked up a major commercial fishery in Henry's Lake to supply the Virginia City market. Although mining kept settlement going in some of the surrounding area, Henry's Fork was not entirely removed from the wild frontier. During the Indian wars, a battle in General Howard's Nez Perce campaign was fought at Camas Meadows, August 20, 1877. Finally in the summer of 1878, refugees from the Bannock war came through the area. With the end of those hostilities, the Indian excitement came largely to an end.
Construction of the Utah & Northern Railway through Blackfoot and Eagle Rock (Idaho Falls) toward the Montana line in 1879 speeded up the settlement of the Snake River fork country. Mormons arrived on Egin Bench that year, and by 1883, Rexburg became an important outpost. St. Anthony followed in 1888, and irrigation extended on up Henry's Fork. The early settlers of these communities had their problems, particularly with a den of cattle rustlers operating out of an excellent natural shelter in the Snake River forks. Generally though, they were less isolated than were settlements located a long way from communication. After railway service reached St. Anthony in 1899 and Ashton in 1906, population grew even faster than before.
In the century which had gone by after Andrew Henry crossed the Continental Divide to leave the United States and establish the earliest northwestern American fur outpost beyond the Rockies (what about John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company?), Henry's Fork had undergone a major change. The country had become part of the United States in 1846 and part of Idaho in 1863 when Idaho was made a territory. Extensive white settlement had begun in the decade before Idaho became a state in 1890. Thus, by the end of the nineteenth century, railroads were serving thriving communities located in a region which no white man had ever seen a century before.

So I had to call cable about it (and you know how that goes - you're on hold so long you start falling asleep or forget why you're on hold). They couldn't fix it from their end so I had to drive all the way down (ack, on a Saturday morning, hideous traffic), stand in line, get new box, drive home, plug it in, wait wait wait and then "i'm sorry, but this box is not authorized." Gah! So I had to call them, get on hold again for a long time, and then they finally connected and activated it.
