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...

Last weekend was the end of the regular season for the NFL. That means that all too soon football will be coming to a close. I admit, this year there was too much to do to watch many bowl games but if it ends up that it is Clemson vs. Alabama for the championship, you can guess that I will be watching that one and rooting for Clemson all the way! Meanwhile in the NFL, this last week has been plagued by bad decisions by coaches and one coach already has been fired even though at the time the season wasn’t over. I watched the game where the P...

Over the past few months we have shared many pictures of successful hunts throughout Blaine County by our local residents. We have had successful hunts of all kinds - deer, elk, and antelope. Hunters of all ages and everyone has a memory that will last forever. This year we had a number of first time hunters taking part in a new Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks program that allows young hunters to enjoy the season with an accompanying adult. We've had a few husband and wife hunts that ended...
It is the end of another year and, as usual, I am glad and sad both. I am glad that I made it through and it looks like I am going to see 2016. I am sad because it was a year that could have been so much better. Hindsight is always great and I learned a lot about having prostate cancer this year. More than I had learned in the twelve years I have had it. I went into the taking of chemo therapy as just another simple treatment. I soon learned that it is anything but simple. Five percent of people who take chemo for prostate cancer, get symptoms...
