Those of us who live in this area (Everywhere West), with it's 12,000'
to 13,000' mountain peaks, simply refer to anyone living beyond the eastern
borders of Montana & Wyoming as ........'flatlanders'...... and don't single
out anyone in particular. I'm sure there are some nasty little hills out
there in the east that cause a lot of headaches for railroad operations. I
also wrote the first email with a smile (joke) on my face. Geez.......way
too serious 'flatlanders'.......you still gotta love'em.
