Will It?
There is an 80% chance of rain in the area according to the <a href="http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/byz">National Weather Service</a>. The question in my mind is if it will rain or not. For some reason I doubt it. Hopefully I will be wrong.<br />n<br />nIt really struck me Tuesday how bad I need some rain. A semi came…

Not Right
<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/09/05/news/state/21-emergency.txt">GOP-led chamber may pass emergency fire bills, then adjourn</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>House Republican leaders are working on a plan to freeze the Democrat-controlled Senate out of the special legislative session that begins today and guarantee that only GOP-backed firefighting bills end up on the governor's desk.<br />n<br />nHouse Speaker Scott Sales, R-Bozeman, confirmed that he…

Seen
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that really tickled my fancy.<br />n<br />n<blockquote><strong>What Would John Galt Do?</strong></blockquote><br />n<br />nFor some reason it really struck me and I was laughing so hard the kids thought I was going to wreck the vehicle. Of course, they didn't get the humour of it.

Blame Game
When <a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a> announced a special session to pay for the fire fighting costs this year, the Montana Blogs started up. Depending on which blog you read, either the Republicans or the Democrats were to blame for this and that was the end of the story. As normal I didn't believe either side…

I knew grapes were very sensitive to temperatures but this really talks about how they are being affected by climate change.<br />n<br />nI didn't post this to argue about global warming/climate change and whether humans are responsible for it of not. Anybody over about…
