Editor:

It's great to see that finally someone in Livingston has a sense of humor. Now maybe you can relocate to Bozeman and then we'll have a sense of humor.

P. Biendit
Trail Creek Rd.
Bozeman

Dear P:

Thank you. Your suggestion, while flattering, is dangerous. A sense of humor in Bozerman might be counterproductive to the growth plan that your charming town seems to be following. People moving to Bozeman from Los Angeles are not looking for irony, humor, or quirks. Otherwise they'd be moving to San Francisco, or perhaps Big Timber.

Thanks for writing,
The Editor




Editor:

Once again your so-called reporters missed a key item. In your article on Livingston's newest television series (Volume 1: Issue 4) you neglected to mention "Trashdance," a wonderful film about a young woman welder in Livingston who aspires to be a County Commissioner.

A film buff in Park County

Dear Buff:

We stand corrected. Thanks for the reminder.

Editor:

Just as the aliens had planned, you have been fooled by the decoy sign at Martins cafe. The real alien beacon is located at the KPRK building east of Martins.

I always put on my tinfoil hat when I drive by there just in case...

Dear Ed:


Excellent point. There are probably others. And thanks for the tip about the tinfoil hat.

Editor:

My husband Frank and I have been looking for a place to retire, and your  mention of the growing senior population in Livingston has us inspired to consider it. It is also nice to know that so many Montanans are positive about Ben Gay marriages. Such a clever term for seniors! And lord knows Frank is always complaining about one ache or another.

Dear Lola:

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Montanans, or at least a perverse majority of the electorate here, just voted to ban gay marriage. Montanans have not heard of "Ben Gay marriages," although I agree your malapropriated term is very clever. Unless "Frank" is a nickname for Francine, or "Lola" is your stage name at the annual Dubuque Does Drag Festival, LOL thinks you'd be welcome in Montana.
