[nagdu] Flat curbs

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Daryl.
Some of the curbs in downtown Great Falls are totally flat, no difference
between the sidewalk and the street that I could tell.  If I lived there,
I'd lobby for at least putting in those rubber bumps.  We have some of those
here where I live, and in some cases they're pretty helpful in marking the
part of the curb where the crosswalk is.

Tracy,

jenny loved Montana too when we were there last year. She didn't get sick,
but her stool was quite runny, and we think it might have been the change in
water. But sounds like he had a great time!

What do you mean by "flat" curbs? If they are what I'm picturing, Jenny had
the same problem in Toronto where there was little or no difference between
the concrete of the sidewalk and the concrete of the road (not just a
wheelchair access ramp, but NO difference); freaked people out...

adventure  My husband and I just got back from a vacation, visiting my
sister at our folks' old place in Montana. It was Krokus's first plane trip,
but he handled it like a pro. He even used the indoor relief area at the
Minneapolis airport. Poky Krokie transformed into superspeedy Krokus. He
actually pulled hard, which he never does, and I had to steady him, which
I've never done before. I hope he keeps some speediness, now we're back
home. However, it's getting very hot, so we'll see. He had a wonderful time,
sniffing around the big yard, smelling rabbits, digging in molehills, eating
grass and Goddess-knows-what. I heard him pulling up grass like a cow. Or
he'd just stand and sniff the wind, blowing
  across the prairie. He enjoyed lying near me, hanging out in the shade,
too. He threw up the first night, but I think it was just all the
excitement, because he was fine after that. We both enjoyed zipping along
wide, fairly uncrowded sidewalks. There are a few places around here like
that, but not too many. He didn't do great with the very flat curbs, but
there aren't really any around here, so he hasn't have much experience with
them. Anyway, we had a great time, and he was a good boy, despite being a
very excited puppy. Tracy   _______________________________________________
