Beneath the Terrace at the Stockman, one couldn't tell if the big ol' autumn moon was shining or not as the brave weathered the evening to partake in the 2023 Oktoberfest.

This is the 6th year of the Chamber promotion and come rain or shine or cool evenings, the crowd enjoys a get-together. There...

Montana’s general big game hunting season opened last weekend and I didn’t go. I rarely hunt deer and elk anymore, preferring to chase the dogs all fall in pursuit of grouse, pheasants and ducks. They’re easier to pack out. I certainly filled my share of tags. While I can’t recall how many deer or antelope I killed over the years, I kept track of the elk – 10 bulls and 10 cows. Where and when I killed each cow is a bit foggy, but the bulls, because of their headgear, are easier to remember....
It is super weird since the morning that I turned 35, that I have had new pains in my back. The day that I woke up 35, I turned the wrong way and felt a small pop in my back. It didn’t hurt. I moved on. A few days later, I threw the right side of my back and shoulder out. I had never experienced that before. I was in, dare I say, pain. I had no idea what was happening. Was it my kidney? My lung? What have I done? Did drinking too much seltzer do it? Was it my odd combo beverage of Powerade Z...

One more thing, Spare Change is moving...
