When I Win…

Friday, March 30, 2012

When I win the Mega Millions lottery jackpot tonight, I’ve got big plans. The jackpot is now sitting at $640M, but after taking the lump sum payment and then paying taxes, I figure I’ll be sitting pretty with at least $230M. Here are some of my plans – some civic-minded, others personal: 1. Arrange to have a giant bison statue placed along the Missouri River, similar to Lucy the elephant in New Jersey. 2. Have free wi-fi installed and available across all of downtown Great Falls. 3. Build a large convenience store/gas station in the large field at Division...

Embedding Video

I’m embedding this video here on GreaterFalls.com for the simple reason that I can – the embed link for the video is provided on the Burlington Free Press website as one of several options. Despite that, a fellow blogger is being called out by the Burlington Free Press (a Gannett organization, BTW) for embedding the video, as noted by Romenesko. Here’s the email sent to the blogger by the associate editor of the paper: Kilian, Michael mkilian@burlingt.gannett.com 3:49 PM (11 hours ago) to me, Ryan, Mike Hello – Your March 19 post on Green Mountain Daily represents an inappropriate...

Got a message from Sean, who was wondering if anyone could help him pin down the exact date that the Greg Kihn Band performed in Great Falls back in the 80s. Sean says it was between June 1981 and June 1095. Anybody know?
