It’s been said that the year 1955 was America’s peak of security, prosperity, and respectability. I tend to agree so while we fulfill our obligations to help President Trump restore these lost blessings, we should “soak” our minds in the music and culture of 1955. I was alive then and I can …
Good for Judge Mark Carman who required three Canadian men to face consequences for illegal acts in our national parks! I'm sure they would have faced consequences if they had done the same in Canada. Did they think that social media would be kind to them for what they did? Making bad decisi…

If you hunt, cross country ski, snow shoe, hike, fish, view wildlife, float our rivers, dabble your toes in Montana waters, go for a Sunday afternoon drive through our hills and forests, cut a Christmas tree, gather wood to heat your home, walk your dog in the hills, ride your horse in the m…
