    I've spent too much of my life in California to think that the Golden State and Florida were the only enjoyable places. Montana has been amazing so far. I'm not looking forward to leaving.

    You'll miss it when you leave, plus it'll be harder to find a place to shoot off the gun and not get arrested.

    I've already been told some crazy things here, like seatbelts are a secondary law, and someone under age 21 can drive with a .02 BAL.

    There are a lot of things you can get away with in Montana but not in California.

    There are states where underaged kids can't drive with a .02? Damn.

    Yea, but you can register a .02 on a breath test b/c of communion wine and mouthwash. You gotta give kids some leeway.

    So yea, I think it's odd that you have to blow a .000 to not get a DUI if you're underage.

    I think the 19- and 20-year-olds in Bozeman think you can drive as long as it's not above .20.

    Entirely possible :D

    The feds had to threaten to take away highway funds before Montana raised the legal drinking age, lowered the BAC to .08 and banned drinking while driving.

    But Buckdub, I don't think a lot of people know how to drive sober in Montana.

    They don't. It's got the highest rate of drunk driving wrecks in the country, and you have to get 5 before it's a felony (or did when I first got there).

    Everyone passed out hours ago. I guess I didn't drink enough today.

    When I was back in college, at a typical suitcase college where most of the students went home on weekends, the floor RA had done the bulletin board off the elevator with a bunch of suggestions on what to do during the weekends. You know the type, typical crap like, "go see a movie" or "go bowling." As though we couldn't think of that on our own.... so one evening, I stepped off the elevator to find someone had stuck a similar picture on the board with the suggestion, "eat a log."

    That bulletin board came down quickly.....
