- <p>Apparently kids are allowed in bars here. This IS NOT the case in Seattle, where there is separate seating
- for minors. This IS the case in most of the country however. I would marvel over this fact in many states to
- the future and people would look at me like "well of COURSE kids are allowed in bars, where else would they
- go?" Hmmm. Life is easier for an alcoholic 6 year old in Montana.<p>
- <p>The reason for this, I learned, is because so many towns are so small that they can't afford to support
- both a bar AND a family establishment, so people bring their kids to the bar. I chewed over this while eating
- a chicken sandwich and watching two prepubescents shoot pool in a smoky bar.</p>
- <p>Reminded me of the scene in <em>Airplane!</em> where two girl scouts beat each other bloody in a GI bar.</p>
