Wages Increase
<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/12/05/build/state/60-boz-workers.inc">Bozeman short of workers </a><br />n<br />nSo, without a raise in the minimum wage, wages can still go up. But everybody on the left tells me this isn't true. The law of supply and demand works, isn't it amazing. So, if we as a state concentrate on job creation, wages will go up. Any…

Continues To Snow
It seems like every night we get more snow. This morning the wind is blowing hard and more snow is falling. I'm not saying the snow is bad but I am tired of it for now. Give me a few warm days to let things warm up once and I would appreciate it. The wind…

Shameless Self Promotion
You don't get anywhere in this world without a little self promotion so when I saw <a href="http://weblogawards.org/">The Weblog Awards</a> I decided to nominate, guess who, myself.

Johnson has some interesting thoughts on a <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/12/04/build/state/65-horse-sense.inc">special session</a> that looks like is going to happen.

It’s a Different Dog
<img src="http://nowherethoughts.net/pics/snowlucky.jpg" alt="" /><br />n<br />nJust a quick update on Lucky. He sure is a different dog since we first got him. Decent food and love and care and he is the most playful sweetest dog imaginable. Why somebody dumped him is beyond me. The only problem he has is the unquenchable desire to chase…

Thoughts For the Day
