History is littered with social and political movements which, while failing to survive as movements, largely achieved their goals. The Prohibition Party's national conventions could take place in a phone booth these days, but its disastrous single policy proposal was adopted as a constitutional amendment, mutated into the equally disastrous war on drugs, and continues to torment the modern marketplace with draconian regulation. Most "socialist" parties have either disappeared into the dustbin o... Full story

"Who is the Flyin' Hawaiian?" This is a phrase I've heard ever consistently since I moved to Glasgow several years ago but I guess to really understand it, I need to reflect on my past and how I enDed in the "Middle of Nowhere." I was born in North Dakota and grew up in Forsyth, Montana. I did several sports while growing-up and had a couple of different jobs throughout high school, which led me to a career in "Public Safety." When I was little, I loved being in and around water. This 'love'...
Sad news for all of you fans of the Montana Hay Bale Trail: What the Hay! Our family always would make the trek to Hobson and Windham (Mt Hyw 239 and 541) the first Sunday after Labor Day. But last year with the COVID, they decided to cancel to be safe for the people planning the event. This year, 2021, the planning committee thought they would have the Hay Bale, but due to the drought conditions, it was canceled this year too. Just a little history on the Hale Bale, in 1989 there was a...
It was predicted by the weather service that the temperature at Opheim would drop to 36 Thursday night. I'm so glad I paid attention to that report. We actually saw it drop to 30 before dawn Friday. I spent the morning last Thursday gathering all my potted and house plants onto the front deck. The deck furniture was used as tent framing. The plants were tucked under the chairs, table and arched bench. Some of the larger ones went atop that bench. Lightweight blankets and beach towels were clothe...
It's made the news for having celebrity advocates, international uptake and acceptance, and being a hot topic for investments. You can't hold it in your hand, but you can buy a car with it. Undeniably, it's likely to become a big part of how we look at money as part of the larger picture. How does one make sense of this new movement in virtual currency though? Bitcoin, the first and most popular crypto, was created back in 2009 by a gentleman named Satoshi Nakamoto. It became the first...
