There's a new video on the Yellowstone facebook page of the "steam phase." Steamboat was roaring like a freight train; I can't even imagine camping in that area while it was going on!!

lol actually you were my first thought when I found out and I was trying to figure out how to share it with you so I posted about Steamboat hoping you would see it; my last post before this was over a year ago :-) I love the Yellowstone facebook page because they are very quick to post info, and also posting pictures that other tourists sent in from their visits

Social media is how I found out about who the new Dr. Who hours before any of my friends that are actually Dr. Who fans here (I'm not) did.

Awesome! Thanks so much for thinking of me. You were totally right to tell me via LJ. I check LJ religiously:D I hate FB.

Tumblr or Twitter told me about 12. I am not a Who fan either.
