    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    This, it really...depends. We all view politicians with a jaundiced eye. We all would like to have a politician motivated by a real duty to public service. I think there are some, not confined to only one party. Unfortunately, a declaration of not belonging to a party, it is not a guarantee of...

    Football General Talk

    I think I've been a vikings fan longer than most...beginning in 64. While the good start is better than a bad start, I won't get any hopes up, unless they have a large lead, late 4th qtr in the SB. The defense plays very aggressively, which I enjoy watching. It is a high risk, high reward...

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    The head of the Montana Democratic Party resigned and endorsed Bodnar. That is something. Absent Bankhead dropping out before the ballot deadline, she handed the race to Alme. I would love to be wrong, but a GOP candidate, in a statewide race has a 46ish% floor for a vote total. Austin will...

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    Regarding the SS, medicare, medicaid numbers, the 40% enrolled in medicare or medicaid does not surprise me, at all. The overwhelming percentage of SS recipients, also are on medicare. That leaves about 20% of the population on medicaid. Most of them are the working poor. I think there is a...

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    Along this vein, we could benefit from not seeing fellow citizens as mortal enemies. A little grace from everyone would be a good thing.

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    My wife and I just filled out our ballots, two more votes for Bodnar. I do not think he will be able to garner more total votes than Alme. I think Bodnar and Bankhead, will have more votes between them, than Alme. But, that is a moral victory, at best. I hope I 194 passes. Of course it will...

    Red Diesel

    This red diesel deal is another half baked mess. There is no way to implement it smoothly. It is and will be a chaotic uncertain mess. Regarding Subarus, we bought one in 1983. It was a great car. Our son drove it to its grave around 2000. It had a manual transmission, got 30mpg on the highway...

    Geriatrics on HT , am I part of the problem?

    No wonder I get along with Gen xers. I can speak their language.

    Geriatrics on HT , am I part of the problem?

    I can vaguely remember "I like Ike" campaign messaging. I can remember being carded in a bar, now I don't need to be carded, as to whether I'm geriatric.

    So, how is the retirement gig?

    Congratulations on your retirement, and I want to commend you for your efforts representing unionized workers. It was a true honor for me to represent the wage employees at the refinery. There are always two sides to every issue. Almost always, management enjoys structural advantages. The...

    More rage bait: Grizzly claiming your elk and getting a ticket for waste?

    I read it and went back and double checked. It says that the bull was shot just before dark. So, I'd say that is hunting late. One of my misgivings about archery hunting, is the need to let the animal die undisturbed, if the hit isn't clearly fatal. Not too big a deal if shot in the morning. It...

    RMEF opines on Roadless Rule and USFS Travel Management proposals, impotently.

    My speculation is that reclaiming a road bed, and returning it to a semi original state costs more or less the same as building a road. So, I just see the mile for a mile as even more spending, to maintain a mythical status quo. A person has to do some research to find a parcel of land five...

    RMEF opines on Roadless Rule and USFS Travel Management proposals, impotently.

    I do not think the roads are nearly as much about managing land, as they are punching access to mineral deposits. There are millions of acres of roaded forest service land that would benefit from management. The backlog is endless. The forest service has enough trouble clearing trails of...

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    I spoke too soon, diesel at the Laurel Town Pump is now $6.0499/gallon. Winning.

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    A little partisan humor... diesel is now so expensive that MAGA, no longer owns the libs...they are now renting them. Locally, diesel is still at $5.849/gallon.
