Following ceremonial drumming and singing and an acknowledgement of the tribes that once occupied the surrounding landscape, the bison were loaded onto trucks for relocation to tribal lands.

It seems only fitting that a recent push to define and enforce some kind of time zone system on the moon has a link to the word lunacy. The Associate Press reported Feb. 28 the European Space Agency requested that the moon to have its own time zone. In response, a joint international effort, with all the countries participating in the race back to the moon, is being launched to create what one navigation system engineer called “a common lunar reference time.” The current spa...
Every student of government learns about the three independent branches of government. Succinctly put, the legislative branch writes the law; the executive branch administers the law; and the judicial branch interprets the law. The key word is “independent.” I have been fortunate to work for both the legislative and judicial branches. My 15 years in the judicial branch — as a law clerk, mediator, and court administrator — put me in the circle of a number of outstanding state district court judges including the Honorab...
Lola is a dog. See Lola run. Lola barks. Hear Lola bark. Lola is a working dog. She takes her duties seriously. She makes sure her master (Mistress? Mattress? Whatever.) goes outside her garden gate for regularly scheduled walks along with frequent unscheduled walks. Lola sees that I get regular doses of cool wet nose on my knee. She assures that I sink my fingers into her thick neck hair with great regularity. Lola keeps me safe. As Lola became acquainted with my friends and...
Montana state legislators are grappling with what to do with the state’s historic $2.5 billion budget surplus. This surplus is a result of higher-than-predicted income tax revenues as well as federal legislation that provided billions in funds to states over the last year. Many good options have been put forth by both political parties on how to best spend the surplus, but another tax break for the wealthiest folks in the state is not one of them. Senate Bill 121, Gov. Greg Gianforte’s tax cut proposal, aims to lower the tax...

Blurb Hebrews 12:1-2 - "Let us lay aside every weight and the sin that clings close to us, and let us run the race with perseverance ..." Out our way, spring comes slowly, but when it arrived, both Doc and I were eager to get out into the "big open" and ride. The problem was that we both got lazy during the winter and put on both weight and girth. Ole Doc's cinch was at the last notch when I saddled him up - and even then I had to really pull to get it hooked. He grunted and...

(Mark 4:39MSG). The storm stopped! 'E.V.' continued. "You know what? That translation of Jesus's words caught my attention. 'Settle down.'...
