Editor, There’s no doubt about it; Montana summers are getting hotter and our winters are not producing the consistent levels of snowpack we need to avoid record-breaking fire seasons. And it’s not going unnoticed, over 90% of Montanans see increasing wildfires as an issue, and over two-thirds see them as a bigger problem than they were ten years ago. This is not a coincidence — these are all issues that stem from our changing climate. Unfortunately, it’s not going to get better if we don’t act now. As climate change co...

My mind boggles. Beyond a healthy gigg...

Out our way we know the difference between a "cowboy hat" and a "cowboy's hat." When I bought my headgear from the store, it was a "cowboy hat," referring to the look and style. After a few years of sun, wind, dust, rain, snow, and more than a few times being landed on after one of my numerous "unscheduled flights" from Doc's back, it became a "cowboy's hat." It bore my history of working cattle up on the Tiger Ridge and elsewhere. Now, as it happens, a friend of mine owned a...

Psalm 103:13: "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." When we think of a father, is the first...
