Ranking the Best Cookout Side Dishes
The summer cookout is one of the best reasons for the season. The smell of the grill, the laughter, some good picnic music and the good food all combine to make it the ultimate vibe of summer. But what should YOU bring to the cookout in order to stand out? Here are the seven best side dishes of the cookout.
What’s With the Convoy of Blue Government Vehicles in Bozeman?
We got a phone call from Jane in Bozeman. Here's the question she sent our way:. "Yesterday I saw a gathering of many blue trucks at two or three hotels along Baxter lane. They were US government trucks and probably between 20 and 25 or more. Just wondered if anybody knows what that was about."
Democrat Candidate for Gov Trashes Kalispell, Touts AOC

Hiking in Montana? ‘Whistle Pigs’ Might Nibble Your Boots
Montana's "whistle pigs" are furry, funny creatures. Out in the vast and rugged landscapes of western Montana, an unassuming creature roams the rocky terrain with a blend of curiosity and mischief: the marmot. Picture a plump, furry ball scurrying amidst the towering peaks and rocky valleys, and you've captured the essence of these fascinating rodents. They remind us of a cross between a gopher and a groundhog, though marmots, aka "Whistle Pigs" are members of the squirrel family.

My Vote’s Decided (But the Ads Keep Coming)
I've always said that I've got the best job, but even this job has its pitfalls. Usually, it's little things like not being able to print anything in the control room. It was inconvenient, but I didn't actually die. By the way, we're printing again. But my least favorite thing about working here happens every four years: political ad season.
Clean Up Your Act! Highway Shame of Montana
Secure your load, and it wouldn't hurt to clean out the back of your pickup once in a while, either. Some loser a-hole decided that he wanted to abandon his old, broken-down, destroyed motorhome on Friday off Mailbox Road. It was full of crap, with windows broken out and no doors. Just leave it where you can find a spot. I talked to one of Montana's finest from the MHP, and he said he would take care of it. They did, but that costs you and me every time something like that happens.

Well-Endowed: Montana Home to Shortest River in the World
BUTTE, MT - When you hear the word "river," what do you think of?. I can make some guesses. Perhaps a float tube with a cup holder, packing a beer, a speaker, and a pair of shades, just coastin' and floatin' down the water on a sunny day. Maybe you imagine holding on to a fishing pole, fly or rod, on the flowing water surrounded by serene mountain landscapes, littered with tall, commanding trees and birds chirping all around. Perhaps a simple sound comes to mind, the sloshing and gurgling of the water running along its predetermined path. All are marvelous. But what if that river is shorter than just two Olympic-sized swimming pools? What comes to mind then?
