Splash Montana
New Aquatic Center Mostly Ready, Lap Pool Will Wait
While the Splash Montana part of Missoula's new aquatic facility is weeks away from opening at Playfair Park, "the Lake" will stay dry this summer.
As the Missoulian reported earlier this week, Splash Montana is nearing completion. It will feature three water slides, a lazy river, a log walk, a children's pond, beaches for playing volleyball and cafe and picnic areas. However, the 50-meter pool for lap swimming, referred to as "the Lake", isn't scheduled to open until next summer, if funds can be met, said Missoula Aquatics Recreation Specialist Eric Seagrave. The money for the lap pool is cheifly being raised by donations and through fundraisers. The design of the pool, being done by Swim Missoula Inc., will determine how much it ends up costing, Seagrave said.

The "Overheard" Blog
Overheard: Tales of Old Wives DressesWhile strolling around downtown, I stopped in Rainbow's End, a funky downtown boutique, and overheard a couple of friends discussing women that wear a certain type of dress.
After trying on a flowing white summer dress, a girl called in her friends to get their thoughts.
Girl in dress: I look like an old housewife.
Friend 1: It is kinda fritzy.
Girl in dress: I feel like I should be cooking or something. (Laughs)
Friend 2: In that dress? Who would do that?
Girl in dress: I don't know, old housewives.
Friend 1: (Laughs) No one would cook in that! Not even back in the day. Well, maybe I guess, if you wore a little apron over it or something,
Girl in dress: Yeah exactly. An apron that says "I love being a housewife and cooking for my husband and five children."
Friend 1: I don't think that would fit on an apron.
Girl in dress: Well that's what the apron would have to say if it was worn with this dress.
Friend 2: So that's a no then?
Girl in dress: I don't know, do you think it looks ok?
(Friends look at each other)
Girl in dress: No it's too frocky. Let's look for one less frocky. I need to look my age.
