Very Enjoyable Blo Posts
Brian, I really enjoy reading all of your blog posts. Is this something you see in your future like the good Dr. you mentioned previously?

psh
Montana? I thought you were in South America... 3082 feet? That's nothin

A bit of fog can't veil true love
What a grand experience, and how romantic. I do appreciate how you spent paragraphs describing the cliffs and fog and two lines to describe the proposal. I'm sure that it was too momentous to be put into mere words. Also, that castle looks pretty fantastic. Maybe someday I will have more money than I know how to build castles with.

Poor Cow
This poor cow is saying "Getting me outta here; with all these sheep!"

Common Themes
This may sound slightly ignorant, but if you replaced the bush knives and fist throwing with money and bribing, the situation you experienced has some similar characteristics to demographic selection in the U.S. More white men want into a university than black women, so the white men threaten to cut funding (bribing or knife threats), which is met by governmental action (political backlash or fisting). Only in the U.S. there is not a mediator to discuss the disputes, and unfortunately the money wins. A bit of a stretch I know, but at least it has some humorous aspects. Anyway, I can't imagine being in that situation with such violent threats being thrown around. It makes you question how you act on your own beliefs and opinions, and whether they you would hold true to them when life is on the line. It sounds like individuals their really support actions followed by beliefs, which may partly explain why missionaries have success their, but not in the U.S.
