Of the 17 events held at the Youth Rodeo on Thursday night of the Phillips County Fair, none got the rodeo fans on-hand out of their seats as much as the mutton busting competition, and arguably no ride was as dramatic - nor successful - as Roan Ereaux's. "I was doing good, going straight and then (the sheep) flipped over and I got a whole bunch of dirt in my mouth," the 6-year-old, Hays, Mont., said. Ereaux, who conducted his interview from the back of a Phillips County Ambulance while EMT... Full story

I’m going to upgrade my printer. Get me one of them newfangled ones that prints guns. But I’m not much interested in printing out one of those ugly little single shot pistols that have been pictured all over the news. No, I want a fine double gun like the white hunters in Africa carry on safari or at least a WWII-era, Belgium-made Browning. I always thought those were cool, but never figured I could afford one.

So, yes, my last grandparent passed away a few weeks ago. Upon hearing that, the most common-sense thing to do was go to the funeral.

Growing up we saw my mother's side of the...
