Last Friday, February 13th, a few retired (notice I didn't say "old"?) smokejumpers met for coffee. It was a lot of fun. We try to meet every 4 - 6 weeks depending on our busy retirement schedules. The bonus was seeing a guy I used to work for but hadn't seen for 44 years.

The Ohio State, where Jim Jordan was an assistant wresting coach between 1987 and 1995? Right during the height of the sexual abuse scandal that the athletic department team doctor committed against wrestlers on Jordan's teams?
Sounds about right.

My brain is kinda operating in that time frame. Except I refuse to even think about taking off the snow tires!

A storm like that certainly would be a good thing. But I agree, not sure it's going to happen.

Yeah, and we're starting to run out of winter.

We need a LOT more snow. Today, compared to one year ago. It's dry enough that if burning season was open, I could burn our fields.

Never did I guess there would be a time when I agreed in part with both Ammon Bundy and MTG.

Or deport them to CECOT in El Salvador.

Is this Tim Sheehy's new health care plan? Prayers and GoFundMe?

How the hell do you look at the way these gang members are dressed and ever in your wildest imagination see them as "law enforcement? F***in* cold blooded murderers.

Hertz's tax records according to Flathead County's tax website enjoyed a stable, if not lower tax rate over the last 10 years for lakeshore property. All while he was in the legislature (no accusations Greg!!!). Now all of a sudden the new formula it's unconstitutional. FO, Greg.

I'm guessing all three of these greedy bastards had their property taxes go up.

Sheehy's office is pretty sensitive about his silence on the Epstein files not being released. Told the staffer that Timmy swore and oath to "support and defend" the constitution. Not to support and defend child rapists and pedophiles. The staffer couldn't get off the phone fast enough.

Just told a staffer at Sheehy's DC office that as a UM alum, I'd like Timmy to go on the same diet that he told us to eat. Staffer told me Timmy said that in jest, & it was part of the rivalry. I told him I'd been involved in the rivalry longer than Timmy had been alive & I didn't need his insights.

I wonder if the owner of this truck is somewhere in between the "Don't tread on me " and "Comply or die" phases of their lives?

Is there no end to this administration's madness? I've called Daines office and said this should be a disqualifying comment for Billy Long. And, predictably, I can't get thru to either Sheehy's or Zinke's office. You can apologize, but you can't unring the bell.

After sitting out the last vote, for no given reason, Steve Daines showed up today to vote to defeat the effort to limit Trump's war powers in Venezuela.
Steve continues to play games. Steve is a gutless coward.
