I’m not a very fashionable guy. Since leaving the newspaper in Bozeman 14 years ago I’ve pretty much worn the same clothes every day. In particular, the same pants. A good friend who used to work in Yellowstone Park wasn’t allowed to use his national park clothing allowance on the boots he wanted so he’d order extra pants instead and give them to me. He retired a few years ago and now I’m down to my last pair. My wife hates them. She thought the pair I’m wearing now were my last, and was qui...
I originally started writing about social media bickering, but I instead thought that maybe I would share a little of what has been on my mind. Take it or leave it. I don’t expect people to have the same opinion that I do, because they haven’t seen life through my eyes. How can you know a problem exists, if you haven’t experienced it? I may have said this before, but I am appreciative of those who have reached out to myself and Susan about current social issues. It has not been easy. Again...
