I once saw Keillor in the Owl Saloon in Livingston, MT.,  one weekend night.  He sat in a chair,  at  the far end of the bar,  with a red bow tie and red shoes,  looking like Geek Cubed,  not talking to anyone,  nor anyone talking to him.  I was visiting with  a guy who had recently left NOAA's climate division,  saying it was getting really weird in the waning years of the Clinton Admin.   He had bought a place up Mission Creek.  Park county was,   and probably is,  much more liberal than Lane county and has as many Federal acres.  But a boat load more pilgrims with trust funds looking to have the Western Experience,   to raise kids far from the travails of Chicago,  Dallas or LA.  Oh,  and pay way too much for real estate and cheesy log McMansions.    Livingston and surrounds was  presented well in the movie "Rancho DeLuxe",  which is still a funny flic after all these years.
