Open For Business

Atlanta Locksmith Finally! The northeast section of River Drive, also known as the Northeast Bypass, is scheduled to open at noon on Thursday, June 30, after nearly a year of detours, gravel, and dust for Great Falls drivers. This will make it much easier to get to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, as well as local businesses that have been dramatically affected by the road closure, such as Best Resting Motel, Big Sky Animal Clinic, and others. It will make the drive to work much smoother for lots of Malmstrom airmen, too. Read The Whole Thing >>> The...

Trib Feature on Blogging

Monday, June 27, 2005

Just finished up an interview with Rich Ecke, a features writer for the Great Falls Tribune. Basic stuff: how did I get into blogging, why do I enjoy it, etc. Also discussed what makes Montana bloggers so special, how many Montana bloggers are there, and such. I mentioned Miss Bonkrood, who was the very first Montana blogger that I read, back in 2002 before I moved here, and Rich mentioned AJ Tooley, who was also interviewed for the story. He also asked about Craig, and I explained that Craig was essentially The BlogFather for many Montana bloggers, and one...

What’s Up?

Sunday, June 19, 2005

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...

Stop Thief!

Monday, June 13, 2005

If you live in Great Falls, I’m sure you’ve seen some of the wonderfully whimsical painted bison around town. Would you believe that some jackass (or jackasses) actually took one and left it alongside the highway amidst a pile of beer cans? Grrrrr. I hope the criminal left fingerprints on the bison and the police track him (or her) down.

Sad News

Saturday, June 11, 2005

Honey Bun, the baby swan at Gibson Park, died earlier this week. SanityEludesMe first alerted me to this story, and has a picture. And I have a very brief video clip (Windows Media) of two swans at Gibson Pond taken back in June 2003; click here to see it (or Right-Click, Save-As to your computer).

BRAC: The List

Friday, May 13, 2005

Here is the official BRAC list that was released today. Malmstrom Air Force Base is NOT on the list, which is good news for Great Falls, although the 120th Fighter Wing of the Montana Air National Guard appears to be taking a direct hit with the proposed retirement of most of the assigned F-16 fighter jets and the re-alignment of others to ANG units in other states. Former Great Falls resident and soon-to-be-world-famous geologist Kim has a few more details, and current Great Falls resident gguy offers a few thoughts.

Be Safe

Monday, May 9, 2005

People in Great Falls are a bit on edge this week due to a third (possible) child-abduction attempt. It’s the third time in three days young kids in Great Falls have reported that a man in a station wagon tried to pick them up. The vehicle is described as a rusty brown station wagon with a broken front grill. It may also be medium-sized with a boxy-shape. Police describe the suspect as a white male, between the age of 35 and 40. They believe he wears glasses, has acne scars and a scar or scratch on the left-side of...
