I know that none of this really stacks up against some of the world’s most beautiful and ancient stone, but when you consider what these explorers and pioneers were facing, it is still incredible. The average daily temperature there ranges from -76 degrees inland to 14 degrees at the coast. (Antarctica is labeled the coldest place on Earth for a reason.) Couple those temperatures with the brutal winds that race across the continent and we have to wonder:
#1 – How they got it done? And
#2 – How any of these structures are still standing?
I wish I knew. It’s too bad we can’t ask them.

For patrons at a Montana tiki bar that has a back wall of a window into a motel swimming pool, it’s typical to see mer- maids in the water five nights a week.
So as the owner of the O’Haire Motor Inn and the Sip ‘n Dip Lounge in Great Falls began preparing to reopen the bar after months of corona- virus-related restrictions, she wanted things to be as close to normal as possible — and that included the underwater entertainment.
Sandra Thares said she emailed regulators for guidance on whether mermaid shows could resume.
Gov. Steve Bullock’s of- fice said “yes.” The Cascade
County health department said “no,” believing pools couldn’t re- open until the third phase of the gradual reopening of the state’s economy.
After some back-and-forth in which the governor’s office noted hotel pools could reopen for regis- tered guests with social distancing
guidelines, the county allowed the mermaid entertainment as long as only one mermaid was in the pool at a time, Thares said. There’s usually two.
“We were not trying to step on anyone’s toes, we were just try- ing to put people back to work,” Thares said.
The first mermaid was sched- uled to return to work one Wednesday night. For now, the mermaids will get one four-hour shift per week.
“We’re having the one tonight, get in a few times with a mask on, just because we can,” Thares said.
