Dan Rather rocked his job and his career, but I would argue his true power and his legacy is being exponentially catapulted by his wit, insight, sarcasm, and honesty on this platform. Thank you

Those of you who follow me know that I went bird hunting this weekend with my aging canine companion Baxter! Such a memorable way to spend time on public land in Central Montana… but there was almost at terrible tragedy!
There are enough votes to unseat Rosendale… unfortunately those votes are being split between two candidates. Terrible that he is going to get 4 years representing MT. Two years was 2 too many.
I drove by a construction site this afternoon & I was absolutely appalled! There is a 1 in 120,000 chance of getting hit in the head with a heavy object, and get this, they had helmets on! Like that is going to do any good most of the time… laughable! And bright yellow jackets?
Helena Public Schools Superintendent just made it official: After consultation with local public health officials – and given that Lewis & Clark County’s transmission rate remains at the “high” level – I have made the decision to require masks for PreK-8.
Six miles into a hike into the Bob..... Misstep, broken leg, helicopter ride, for a couple of my friends. Thank you to all who helped them, from the Bob to Choteau to Helena!
Just a reminder to have more than you need in your pack. Accidents happen when you least expect them.
If you are looking for great burgers, sinful desserts, crispy fries and rings, and a smiling staff, then head to Parker’s in Drummond MT! Thanks for an excellent evening
@parkerii
Deluge in Helena… like a real one! Shit like this doesn’t happen here, really! A full size dumpster floated down the street and hit my neighbors new SUV. Not joking!
A couple days walking the Smith Corridor… I am completely aware that I am a blessed, lucky, a damn good cook, a tad bit overweight, an excellent dancer, and an adequate fly fisherman.
Gave the trout a rest… Carpe Diem! Put you into your backing in a hurry! Did this instead of drywalling this morning… it was a solid decision! Sorry MW!
Dear taxpayers,
Thank you for paying for my school lunches for 7 years. I have worked hard to give back to the communities I have lived in and your support did not make me expect handouts. My hardworking mother shouldn’t have been made to feel guilty for this needed assistance.
Here is a photo I made today… on the edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex.
In honor of Ansel Adams’ work Quote Tweet a black and white from your album!
“You don't take a photograph, you make it." — Ansel Adams
Born on this day in 1902, pioneering photographer Ansel Adams’ work continues to serve as tremendous inspiration.
My oldest child is no longer a teenager, turned 20 today... his younger sister has worked countless hours to finish this painting of a cool brown to give to him as a present. Pretty damn impressive!
If you can't afford where you live, why don't you just move? It is so easy!
Or you could work more hours, get a third job, rent out your closet, sell your soul, drop your insurance, activate another credit card, skip maintenance...
So much angry sarcasm!
I officially no longer have any possessions at this house… It was a great decade, in a great location, wonderful place to raise a couple of kids! On to the next!
PragerU can fornicate all the way off! How in the absolute name of someone’s god can this crap worm it’s way into a public classroom? Can’t make this sheeet up!
I am not on the crack book, but my wife showed this post to me this morning. This is not a normal function of her position. There should be consequences for one’s actions, and calling parents to the Capitol to combat local school board decisions is needing a response!
If one of my loved ones goes into a mental health center for a couple of weeks after threatening to shoot up a government building, why can’t we ensure that they don’t have access to their arsenal of guns and ammo? Common Sense Gun Laws CAN coexist with the second amendment!
Just got denied in the housing market of Helena… put in an offer of $31k over asking and waived a $10k flooring rebate at closing. $300k won’t buy a fixer upper, and $400k won’t buy most move in ready places… I guess I am staying in my BIG house in MT City/Clancy.

I was going to say that I am two beers deep, here in Helena… but going a little more fragrant, we are officially one Malbec and rising!
(13-14” if you want boring)
I don’t often request things on this platform, but today I have a serious ask:
While it may hit 58 degrees once again today in parts of MT, please please do NOT put away your snow equipment for the year! Mother Nature will make us all pay in 11days with 22” of snow. Blaming YOU!
How long has lead been illegal for waterfowl and certain public lands? You are not following the science and clearly do not understand that most hunters and anglers understand the negative impacts of lead to the ecosystem. How are you representing MT? It is mystifying!
@StonetipApps
@ZoAndBehold
They have only themselves to blame when they are ostracized within their extended community.... Their 15 minutes of fame is forever filled with shame.
How will you be remembered? Proud grandkids they must have!
Many blame Helena for the asinine that has infected policies and attitudes across the state… actually it’s what the voters of the state are sending to the Capitol Building located in Helena. Start sending better representatives of your communities!
Have I told you lately that I am proud of you?
Whatever battle you are waging, whatever anxiety you are pushing against, whatever goal you are working towards… just know, if you keep trying, that it is making a difference &you need to remember that, especially after a setback.
Physical Ed? Up2you.
Librarian? if you want, but there are other options.
Music? sure, possibly.
Shop & family consumer sci? Only if your district can afford it.
Foreign Language? Is this necessary?
Counselor? Surely you can share with 12 other schools.
Really OPI? She gots 2go
After being inundated on this platform with information about the new johnson speaker, I am asking anyone that respects his views, beliefs, and rhetoric to unfollow and/or block me ASAP.
Yellowstone National Park news… not weather or water related:
Guests were told to bring food for meals because the park is only staffed with 40% service staff (not federal employees) because they can’t fill vacancies. Only 1 out of 4/5 restaurants/cafeterias open daily.
There is a son of a son of a sailor who has found his salt shaker and is enjoying a cheeseburger… changes in attitude, changes in latitude and come Monday it’ll be alright.
I got asked to make a mountain scape piece of art for a fundraiser… I said “no, unfortunately I don’t have any made & I don’t have time to make one”… I come home yesterday to a 86% complete piece & a note to finish this. It was my wife who asked both times. Her 1st attempt!
