If this doesn’t take your mind off our national woes...nothing will. ❤️
THANK YOU!

Nancy is comparing the MF to President Obama

Anybody notice this week how many folks on MSNBC
Have worn some shade of purple during coverage of the Senate impeachment trial? A LOT of them have worn or are wearing purple. Tonight is no exception. Is this a coincidence? Trivial, I know in terms of the weight of all that’s going on. It’s just something I noticed.
A sight that warmed my heart on this crappy news day...
I was driving to the neighborhood hardware store and I see my kiddo (14years old) flying by traffic on his bike with his fly rod strapped to his back...headed toward the Clark Fork River. I got home and he had done all his chores, recycling, emptied the dishwasher and fed the dogs...AND left me a note telling he he’d “gone fishing”. Love that kid.
National Guard presence in high schools?
I just came home from work yesterday to find a National Guard t-shirt in my son’s laundry basket. I asked him where he got it. He said that reps from the MT National Guard came to the school and worked out with them in PE. They had a tug of war competition, my son’s team won and were given t-shirts for their victory. The t-shirts say “ National Guard” on the front and have a colorful stylized logo on the back that says “Warrior Fit”. Please don’t misunderstand me. I am not anti-military but my son is just 14 years old and just trying to find his way in the world. Now he’s got a cool new shirt from the NG that he and his friends will be wearing/advertising for the NG. I asked my son if we could put it in the donation box we always have going and he resisted that. The NG visit to school seems benign on the surface but it seems to me that this is how the military might start to hook kids. Am I overreacting? My husband says I am. This isn’t sitting well with me.
Anybody have monthly gift subscription suggestions?
I would like to give a friend a monthly gift subscription for her birthday. This woman is my son's chosen grandma...meaning that even though he has two actual grandmothers, they've not pursued a relationship with my kiddo and as a result, he has bonded with this close family friend that he calls Nannie. That aside, I am fresh out of ideas for her upcoming 72nd birthday and I'm looking for something unique - such as a monthly gift subscription. She's not a big drinker - so alcohol every month might be too much. I'm hoping to come up with something other than fruit of the month or what not. Any ideas out there? Please and thank you.
Beloved vintage DC-3, the Miss Montana, to fly to the Bahamas carrying donations.
I am in tears I'm just so excited and proud of my fellow Missoulians for doing this. I am headed to Costco today to fill my car with toiletries and food so that I can take part in this mission in my own little way.
Brava Miss Montana!
“They got their deposit and bank account this morning, so they’re committed to go, and the airplane’s ready to go,” Dick Komberec of the museum board said Thursday. “I understand they’ll be making two trips a day hauling 40,000 hot meals per trip.”
Miss Montana and crew will be based in Fort Lauderdale, less than 100 miles from the Grand Bahama International Airport in Freeport, the largest city in the northernmost island of the Bahamas.

MAGA fun on the interstate...
Driving with the hubs and kiddo up to Flathead Lake for the day today. A moment ago, we saw a MAGA hat on the side of the road on the off ramp. Hubs says “hold on kids!” as he swerved to the right to run over the red hat with our truck and the boat. We all laughed so hard!!! I wanted to share it with you guys. There’s a flat MAGA hat on the off ramp at the Wye outside Missoula. America just jut a little more great! Cheers!!
ICE wants access to Missoula County radio facility.
This made my blood run cold. Partly because it is ICE (no integrity) and also because I live at the base of the Rattlesnake mountains where the installation of their radio equipment is proposed. Once ICE is in the area, they will be here forever. They will use their own radio exclusive radio frequencies that are monitored by no one else. One Missoula County Commissioner is pushing back and I will be calling the others today to make my opinion known. Allowing ICE to use our radio equipment goes against the values that Missoula has defined for itself in recent years such as opposing a state legislature bill proposing a ban on sanctuary cities and the adoption of a resolution to join a “Welcoming Communities Campaign” to assist refugees in assimilation into this country.
I love Missoula and the proposition feels like such a violation. I’m curious to know if ICE is infiltrating other border states/cities?
