First of all the COVID-19 virus is real. It affects people differently but the underlying fact about this is, it is real. Secondly, in our counties across Montana it is the “right or wrong,” “not Ok,” “it is Ok,” “it’s taking my rights away,” “what about that guy’s rights” type of balking that is making health departments and emergen...

Out our way, the fall roundup is a major event and, as anyone who has worked one will tell you, rounding up the cattle scattered all across the “big open” is a lot of hard work. Now, as it happens, Charlie and I rode for Big Mike. One roundup Charlie was on “Jet” and I was on “Doc” — good cow ponies — but Mike and his boys came out with four wheelers. They covered a lot more territory and moved a great deal faster than we did. In sheer numbers of cattle herded that day, they were far more successful than we were. I recall...
