Spam
If you read any blogs at all you have probably heard them talk about comment spam. I have been fighting a losing battle against the loathsome creatures that do these dirty deeds and finally have instituted other counter measures. You will note that you now have to enter a code to post a comment. I…

Photographer
My Darling Wife loves to take pictures and she took some the other day I wanted to share. She might yell at me for doing this but that's the way things go. I complained about the warm weather melting what little snow we had and running water. This is very unusual in January so my…

Joke
Even comedians can't come up with jokes that make me laugh as much as I did at <a href="http://www.suntimes.com/output/entertainment/cst-nws-hatch19.html" target="_new">Hatch's recent fiasco</a>. I mean how stupid can you be. Win one million dollars on national TV and then not claim it on your income tax. Did he really think the IRS wasn't going to figure…

Drought
The Gazette just has to do us a favor and <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/01/17/build/local/30-drought-hangs-on.inc" target="_new">remind</a> us of the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/01/17/build/local/32-area-wells.inc" target="_new">drought</a>.
