Is there a way to continually remind red and swing state voters of this? How about billboards or tv ads that keep a running tally of this waste, fraud and abuse (while Musk/DOGE keeps decimating the institutions that actually add value and safeguard us). www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

My very first true loves, Halibut (best doggo ever) and my 1961 IH B120. Got Halibut from the Bozeman shelter in 1976. Still miss her terribly. Please consider your local shelter if you’re looking for a companion. Lots of animals in there needing good homes and, pound dogs make the best dogs!🐶

A couple of our “dear” friends🙂

Every state in our country has its share of natural beauty, and we’ve been fortunate to have seen a lot of it. After spending years away, we decided to retire back to Montana. Glad we did.

Trying to avoid politics this weekend (if possible). This is Stitch a month after we adopted him and his sister Miss Kitty. He’s just a happy little guy who you can’t help but fall in love with. The slo-mo was accidental, kinda cool though😉

Oh my gawd you guys, I’M DYING OVER HERE!! DYING!!😂🤣 This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time, and I’ve gotta watch it again. YOU WILL DIE!😆 Make sure you’ve gone pee first before you watch it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Got hooked on Neil Young in my teens, studied geology in my 20s. I listened to L.A. (Time Fades Away, 1973) again for the first time in years and only just now realized it’s about plate tectonics. It took me until my 60s to discover this🤣 Great song, check it out! m.youtube.com/watch?v=zHRW...

Saw Jon Tester on Morning Joe. Defies logic that a pragmatic farmer lost to a shady carpetbagger. Worse, a corrupt ex-Trump official wins over someone that actually stands up for people. Montana’s gone the way of tribalism and allegiance to a red hat. Sad that so many decent folks fell for the con ☹️

We adopted Kitty & Stitch several years after losing Corinne and Flossie (hurt takes time to subside). They bring tons of love and joy (and a few mice😉). One thing I’ve learned getting older is that you need to surround yourself with what makes you happy. RIP Corrine & Floss, we’ll see you again!

During WWII my dad served in N. Africa and Italy (where he lost his brother), my mom made bullets. Their values included unity, selflessness and duty to the greater good. The country they sacrificed for is now being dismantled by a grifter and his followers, who desperately need a history lesson.
