Jim's Eclectic World: A delightful trip into the park

About Me

Name: Jim Macdonald

Location: Bozeman, MT, United States

Hi, my name is Jim Macdonald, and I have an odd assortment of interests. In no particular order, I love Yellowstone, I am an anti-authoritarian activist and organizer who just moved from Washington, DC to Bozeman, and I have a background in philosophy, having taught at the college level. My blog has a lot more links to my writing and my other Web sites. In Jim's Eclectic World, I try to give a holistic view of my many interests. Often, all three passions show themselves interweaving in the very same blog. Anyhow, I think it's a little different. But, that's me. I'm not so much out there, but taken together, I'm a little unusual.

A delightful trip into the park

I had a need to go into Yellowstone on Saturday, and so I did - this time by myself. I'm not going to share much here except a fraction of the photos from Saturday. It's not even worthy of mention in the Yellowstone Newspaper, which according to my own standards, I only post stories when they express some unique point of view. These are just pictures that I took.

If you are curious, however, I have still been writing. Check out this discussion on ethics that I've participated in over at Ralph Maughan's site.

Click on the pictures, and they should get somewhat larger; I reduced them somewhat to save bandwidth.

Jim Macdonald said...: And, it won't be my last. Ever notice how much shit is in Yellowstone all over the place?

And, haven't you heard how bad off the sewage system is?

Get your shit together, dude.; 5/6/08 12:53 AM
Anonymous said...: I don't know, man. I think I agree with the other person. I took a good look at your pictures, and they're nice and all, but the one of you gave me douche-chills. You aren't exactly what they call "photogenic."

Peace; 5/9/08 6:25 PM
Jim Macdonald said...: That's right; I'm not. Especially, as I was taking a dump all over Yellowstone; if the air wasn't sulfur enough.

Either way, the price to see those pictures is my ugly mug; glad to see you're checking me out.; 5/11/08 2:58 AM
