Heather Willis, Ross (Oak) Metcalf, Bobby Pueschel. Yes Butte is still Butte, somethings don't change, somethings do. The Vu, open again, and extremely clean. MT Tech, still there, full of girls, that can't be right. My old place (actually Alan's) 201 W Granite, it is still here. What is different, everything. Stores are gone and so are a few bars, though the Playboy girls in Maloneys haven't left. I miss it, I can't lie. We went to Anaconda, to play golf, and it looked the same to the untrained eye. I am sure things are different there.
The kids, they are same. The same drunks, they work hard and drink harder. They party until 2 and are ready to again @ 8. 4 days in a row, and they are still going. .. I gave up.
I hit a 3 day binger and all I can think about, you guessed it, Dillon & Heather.
Butte, the houses, the east ridge, the lady (not green), and what only one of us can understand. You drive through Butte, you don't understand, you live here for a week you don't understand, but you live here for a while, and it all makes sense.
I won't ever live here again, but I will always keep it close to my heart. 60 dollar bar tabs for everyone that I knew at the Vu. Everyone I knew at the Vu, the kids that call it home again. They aren't Norm, they aren't Oak, hell even Clint wasn't there. But they had been replaced, respectively.
Oh by the way, I lost two games of pool, and I played about 14, and now understand how I got beat by the old guys that didn't shoot as well as me. They played not to be pretty, but to win. I will always remember, Maloney's, Red Cups, and pool in Butte.
