Took a little drive on Sunday out to Mary’s Midway, near Cattleman’s Cut – but the parking was full, apparently a big to-do featuring old-time fiddlers. So back to town for us – and a tasty stop at Ford’s!
Mmmmm…double cheeseburgers, fries, and rings – topped off with a caramel milkshake…perfect for a Sunday afternoon.
If you’re looking for a job, you should be following @greatfallsjobs on Twitter. They post all of their job openings; sometimes just one or two a day, but sometimes up to a dozen. One of the jobs posted this week caught my eye – here’s an abbreviated version:
Seeking an experienced professional to manage and lead staff, patrons, and activities of the Great Falls Public Library. Administratively responsible for planning, organizing, and controlling activities, services and budgeting of the library system. Supervises a staff of 21 with a total budget of $1.19M. Desire training, education and experience equivalent to a master’s degree in library science and five years progressively responsible experience in library administration, including a minimum of three years in a supervisory capacity. Grade 63, salary range mid $70s, DOQ.
Sounds like a neat gig – but are you as surprised as I am that it pays mid-$70K?
There’s a lively discussion over at Electric City Weblog about the (non)-release of SME documents, and someone going by “A Taxpayer” left the following comment:
Well, the new city attorney has apparently skipped town without returning my phone call message as promised by his secretary. I wonder why we pay these guys the big bucks, when the heat is on they disappear.
And that was followed up by Mayor Michael Winters, who left the following response:
Yo ! Taxpayer !!! Get your ducks straight !! The city attorney went home for the week end—the man has not seen his family for over three weeks and certainly deserves that break–so get off his back…
It’s possible, of course, that the comment was left by someone “impersonating” Mayor Winters. But if it really was hizzoner, then kudos to him for standing up for the new city attorney (James Santoro). There’s more interaction between the Mayor and the commenters – go read the whole exchange.

Most of you know that Fred Pfeiffer now has a weather blog -and now he’s got a semi-regular guest: the Weather Duck! But the poor duck doesn’t have a name yet, so Fred is soliciting suggestions. Go say hi, and see if you can come up with a cute name.
A friend of mine is considering buying a “rig” from Bleskin Motors, and asked me if I knew anything good/bad about Bleskin. I’ve never dealt with them, but FWIW I’ve never heard anything bad about them. I’ve never seen anyone air a grievance about Bleskin like this person did about Bennett Motors, for instance. So I’m turning to you – any of you ever dealt with Bleskin? Good experience, deals, service – or not?
Ouch – looks like this school bus got a dent in the rear fender. Happened on Monday near the refinery. Didn’t see anyone injured, thank goodness.
