Bob Dylan is coming to Great Falls in July. His popularity continues to baffles me. Every song of his that I’ve heard sounds something like this: “Huh-hee-blah-blah-doo-dee-da.” Still, I’m glad that he included Great Falls on his concert tour.
Regarding BRAC: Montana officials journeyed to Oregon to make the case for keeping the F-16s in Great Falls. Based on past BRACs, I’d put the odds of success at roughly 5%, but I understand our elected officials have no choice but to make the effort to save jobs.
On a more whimsical note, the seventh annual “Dachshund Days” was held this weekend, with proceeds benefitting the American Red Cross. What is the appeal of weiner-dogs?
The allure of the breed, said attendee Michael Wilson, is that they are intelligent, travel-ready and dedicated. Plus, they’re adorable. But despite their small stature, Wilson said, they are vicious and protective: His dachshund often chases deer out of his yard. “And they don’t take up as much room on the bed,” Wilson said.
And on the roadways, the section of River Drive between 57th Street and the L&C Interpretive Center STILL isn’t complete. I thought that it would be done in time for the Explore The Big Sky kickoff, but now I’m just hoping that it will be done by the time EBS is over.
