Last week, my friend Winston, myself and local fisherman and blogger Eric (die Fische.org) headed out to fish the Guadalupe below Canyon Dam. This is the “trophy trout” aquarium stretch of the river, in which the state and the local chapter of Trout Unlimited stock trout every year. Never will you see a group of […]
Damn!
Just doing some tweaking suggested by our tech brain trust and web host tech gurus (actually on the North American continent) and vaporized a dozen or so new comments today that had slipped into moderation. Dammit and our apologies if something witty you’ve written today isn’t showing up. Be witty once again and we promise […]
I Believe I can Fly ( flight of the frenchies). Trailer from sebastien montaz-rosset on Vimeo.
The last week has been a strange one and we’re about to claw back from the virtual grave and get back into our usual routine. A long anticipated return to home country last week was busted all to hell by what has indeed turned out to be a torn medial meniscus. I’ve been somewhat hobbled […]
It’s nice to have feet on the ground back home in Montana this evening. Jake knocked on my door in Austin at about 130 am Saturday morning and we were on the road by 2 – arrived in Bozeman in time for breakfast today after a 3 hour stop for sleep near the Malad summit […]
Interview video featuring several speakers including Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer. Watch the full episode. See more PBS NewsHour. Here’s a couple of solid quotes from the vid – … that Montana — well, Montana’s interests aren’t perfectly aligned with ExxonMobil’s and the EPA’s. Our interests are for the wealth and the health of the Yellowstone […]
There’s an image and a blog headline we never figured we’d be posting here. Yesterday found our team otherwise engaged (we were all working at various posts) when the news broke of a pipeline rupture / leak beneath the mighty Yellowstone River. Our first reaction – dammit to hell. Didn’t really start digging into the […]
Our hosting provider has apparently been plagued by a couple of days worth of humongous denial of service attacks. Please pardon our downtime today. Burgeoning traffic demand on some other business sites that we host may push deployment of a dedicated server sooner than we’d planned on. We’re working on it.
Spoken by She Who Must Be Obeyed yesterday morning as we awoke to find a scorpion in the (clean) frying pan sitting on the stove top. Damn. Calendars and business plans reviewed thereafter.
Fracking. What a great example of a suspect process having been given a bizarrely strange name by industry. Frack. Fracking. To Frack or not to Frack. There are some who’d have you believe that fracking was actually one of the plagues of Egypt so aptly described in the Book of Exodus. There are some who’d […]
The Montana house late this week voted largely along party lines to pass SB 306 – the cyanide leach bill. This is nothing short of a jaw-dropping ‘go to hell’ to Montana voters who had twice before voted overwhelmingly to end cyanide leach mining in the state. We’re f’n speechless. Governor, time to heat up […]
Buster takes a well deserved poke at Big Sky country.
