    Please explain what is going on with public land.

    My take is that we are weakening public lands. Less collaboration, less staff to do the basics like pump toilets, fix roads, and monitor chunks of earth for needs, more holes poked in the policies and safeguards to ensure responsible stewardship, etc. It would not be unreasonable to view most of...

    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    Something I think about is, in a very real way, swaps are much safer than land banking. Monies derived from the sale of Trust Lands must go into the land banking fund with the aim of purchasing other lands that are commensurate based on numerous criteria (access, trust revenue generation, etc.)...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    That’s the crux of the social anxiety, the dissatisfaction with change, the involuntary dissolution of identity, the disdain for newcomers, the fight going on as I type this, and the bellyaching you endure from me. Hard for folks to stomach being jettisoned from their Home with a capital H due...

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    $4.59 for 87 in Boulder, Montana. Seems to have maybe stabilized a little in the last week?

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    According to the MIT Living Wage Calculator, the livable wage for a single adult with no children in Montana is $24.23 an hour. For a single adult with one child, the living wage increases to $44.07 an hour. That's living wage, not excess monies. I can only speak to my own geography, but...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I have worked at the same place for 15 years, and as long as the job stays as interesting as it is, I hope to spend my career there. That said, in the IT-adjacent line of work I am in, I am always amazed how folks my age (millenials) job hop. Like, I would say the average length of term where I...

    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    Just re-upped on both PLWA and BHA again myself. Regardless of how things pan out, it is invigorating to see action. I know most action takes place via an unseen slog - emails, meetings, thankless work, etc. I appreciate those representing folks like me and my family in arenas I don’t feel...

    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    As someone who doesn't have a deep understanding of the legal system, how does this work in terms of timeline, and what were the pros and cons? I guess what I am asking is if this was an option all along, was the fact that nobody had done it before just based on the risk of a judge ruling...

    MT EQC to determine corner crossing as "illegal"

    We kind of discussed this years ago when a similar bill was in the 2023 legislature. Seems some of those comments that such a bill would be used as a helping hand in opposition to corner crossing, were correct...

    MT EQC to determine corner crossing as "illegal"

    We exist in an age of rampant unprofessionalism, but this is a wacky thing for the chair of a public committee, from which no actual authority on the subject at hand exists, to say.

    MT EQC to determine corner crossing as "illegal"

    Is corner crossing the type of thing that could be “made more legal” via citizens initiative? If so, that’d pass easy, but I don’t know if CIs really proclaim something legal - but moreso do the opposite.

    MT EQC to determine corner crossing as "illegal"

    The EQC is an advisory committee and doesn't make law, correct? They could propose a bill, but it would still have to be sponsored and make it through the legislature? Curious about the chances of such a bill's success.

    RIP Ted Turner

    Basically every Friday evening from ages 11-14, my dad would get a Pizza from Papa Rays in MT City, and we would sit down and watch MonsterVision, hosted by Joe Bob Briggs. It was there my appreciation for rated R horror movies censored to meet FCC thresholds was born, and that was on Turner...

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    There's a whole lotta "instead of this, that" scenarios that a person could run that are indicative of the contemporary Age of the Robber Baron we are in. We've spent enough money in Iran so far to fund all our public land agencies (USFS,NPS, USFWS, BLM) for two years - that's notwithstanding...

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    Good catch I didn't see, but just an error by the chart maker. Avg gas prices in Montana on May 1 of 2025 were $3.13 according the the US Energy Information Administration

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    Largely agree. That's close to my chicken fried steak budget. But, that $.37 increase occurred over the last week. We are currently up $1.60 from the beginning of the year, and still climbing.

    Tale as old as time. "Why's the rich man busy dancin', while the poor man pays the band?"

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    According to the federal highway administration, the average Montanan drives 16,000 miles per year. The average fuel price on January 1 of 2026 in MT was $2.75 per gallon. Fuel costs of course go up and down seasonally, and hopefully they go down again after this self-inflicted quagmire is...
