Shortly after arriving in Montana as a homeless 18-year-old I remedied that situation by getting a job that provided room and board. After all, I had a skill. I could cook. I spent much of that first summer in the backcountry working for an outfitter who took clients on pack trips into the Beartooth Mountains and Yellowstone Park. The wages were minimal, but enough that I could pay my own way. That’s how I had been raised. Handouts and charity were for the less fortunate, not for me. But that w...

For the first time, I have been bothered by mosquitos while outside working. The last couple of times we have been to the dumps there have been so many bees, and Wham, one...
Sympathy for the victims of the fires. Be careful with Montana Fires. Get well to all who are sick, including Steve Young. Whitewater School is in session; it livens up the town. It was so different when I went to school. We didn’t start school until September or after Labor Day. Now it begins in August. In first grade there were no school lunches, we took our own. There were no buses, everyone came by themselves. When the lunch program began, the fantastic cook was Gladys Berg. She cooked at W...
On August 30 and 31, we can enjoy a super blue moon! It’s a super moon because it will be closer to the earth, so it’ll appear larger, but not much to the naked eye. It’s called a blue moon because it’s the second full moon in a month. With all the smoke and dust in the atmosphere, the moon will have a reddish-orange look to it. My sister Debbie and my daughter-in-law Brandie drove up to Loring on Friday. We all went to Fort Peck Theater to see the play “Misery”. Brandie hadn’t been to that...

The Penguins kicked off their season heading to Wolf Point on Friday. We've had ten solid practices so I was pretty confident the girls would have a successful first meet.

Ava Hanley was my only runner on Saturday morning as Shelbi LaBrie was not feeling well. It was an absolutely beautiful day for a run, about 65 degrees and no...
