Yanky 72 & a Montana Perspective on the Marine Corps Museum
Have you ever noticed how the most important stories that you want to share can often take the longest amount of time to pass before you finally tell them? The easiest e-mails to reply to get a response right away, and then the ones that are important- you set aside and then wait far too long to reply to? Some pictures are too sacred or too important for a Facebook share or quick "like" on social media.
Montana’s Baby Bust: Why Birth Rates Are Dropping
I think there are a lot of explanations for this. Today there was an interesting article on birth rates in Montana, and it's not surprising. People just don't want to have children anymore. Last year, Montana had more deaths than births. There were 11,174 babies born, while we recorded 11,665 deaths. There are a lot of factors to consider here, including the fact that many baby boomers are reaching the stage that brings them to the end of their life cycle. That trend will probably continue for another 25 years or so. People's life choices are also contributing to higher death rates. For people over 45, the number one and two causes of death in Montana are heart disease and cancer, many of which were brought on by personal decisions.
From Vegas Lights to Montana Nights: My Ideal Vacation
We were talking with some coworkers this morning about some people who were on vacation. They had friends who were going to be in Las Vegas for a week. I couldn't stay that long. Not in Las Vegas.

Let’s Go! Montana Grizzly Alex Gubner Signs With An NFL Team
If you're a Montana Grizzly football fan then you know the impact defensive tackle Alex Gubner made for the Griz defenders last year.

In case you need a refresher, here's a great piece on Gubner done by Montana Sports last year showing his work ethic and team-first mentality.

Unelected, Unaccountable, & Unleashing Prairie Dogs?
We have to get control of these three-letter agencies. Did you hear the latest from FWP? They are going to pay a landowner in Garfield County $148,000 to introduce prairie dogs to the area. That's right, prairie dogs. Not only that, they will intervene if they have to for control of the plague should it infest the colony. Mark my words, they will regret that for many years to come. That 1,500 acres will explode to 100,000 acres in 20 years. This rodent is doing so much damage to the native grasses and rangeland in Montana. I don't know if we will ever be able to repair the damage.
