I don’t mean if you are deep in a crime novel and don’t want to be distracted. I mean if you are a character IN a crime novel, there are certain things you have to do. One is, if you are driving on a winding road to anywhere, with or without pursuers, you have to snake your way through the trees, the brush, or whatever the terrain offers. Gone are the days of winding roads; if they aren’t straight, they are snaking their way through the wilderness or up a mountain. If a mechanical object is a potential sound-maker, when someone uses it, it [d...
It is January of 1907 and the news this week is mostly all about the Little Rockies. Abraham Gill has disappeared and the Ruby Gulch is getting bigger and bigger as a gold mine. Mr. Gill was a partner of a man named Winter who had a ranch close to Landusky. The ranch had belonged to Johnny Curry and Curry eventually shot Winter to get the ranch back. There is a wonderful ghost story about Winter being seen yet in his night gear, brushing his teeth as that was what he was doing when he was shot. Anyhow, Abraham Gill came out looking for...

So, this weekend in the NFL it is the Chiefs at the Patriots. It is Green Bay at Arizona. It is Pittsburgh at the Broncos and it is Seattle at the Panthers. Last week every non home team won.

As long as the weather stays above zero and there is a tad of snow on the ground, it is a perfect time to get out to Beaver Creek Park and take advantage of winter conditions out there. Take sledding. There are several hills that are perfect for sledding. One is at the turn to go to Sucker Creek and another is at the Taylor Road turnoff. There are long slopes with not extreme steepness, good snow cover most of the time and it is just fun to go out with the family and enjoy sledding other than the College Hill in Havre or your own private hill...
We’re going to put off the death part yet awhile. Taxes, not so easy. The dreaded packet came in the mail yesterday. They want to throw me off the scent so they try to pretend that there aren’t as many sheets of paper in the packet as I see. Do they think I am blind? First there are six pages, unnumbered, so they don’t count. Pages 1 and 2 come next, numbered, with all kinds of information about me that I already know. Quite a bit of it is wrong, either because it changed since last tax season or because it was already wrong. Who are these...

It’s funny about snow. No matter how often, how firmly, we tell ourselves that snow has nothing to do with Christmas, Christmas has nothing to do with snow, do we really, truly, deep in our hearts believe it? Being honest, I can’t say Yes. A boy or girl who wishes for snow at Christmas may be consoled if they get a bicycle or roller skates because at least they may be able to use the gift that day. If they get ice skates or snow toys of any kind, visible grass will seem almost a taunt. Some people in snow country are glad to get by without havi...
My wife and I had traveled out to the Seattle area, on Amtrak, to spend a few days babysitting our grandkids while our daughter and son-in-law made a brief pre-Christmas trip. We opted to take Amtrak because of the various weather threats, and we’re not big fans of crossing mountains with snow-packed roads. Turned out to be the right decision as both the Cascades and Rockies were hammered with snow both going and coming to and from the west coast. We’ve traveled Amtrak many times, first when we lived in North Dakota and would travel to see our...
