I was born in the southern U.S. and raised by a 21 year Marine Corps Vietnam Vet and his hard working, successful, Tennessee born bride. They set the bar pretty high for their three kids...so I decided to just walk under it and go into radio at age 16. After years of "town to town, up and down the dial", I made my way to Billings in 2005. That turned out to be the best decision I ever made. It lead to a great job, and the love of my life, my daughter, Eliana. I'm happy to be raising her in a place with a great mix of conservative family values and progressive ideas about inclusion and embracing the differences in people (provided they are not too liberal or from California).

Loud Fire Drill Scheduled For Tonight at Billings Airport

Movies Under The Stars Kicks Off This Friday
If you've never checked one of these out, you should. They're great summertime memories for the kids and admission is always free. You're not allowed to bring your own food and beverages, but the concession sales are always supporting a great local cause. You could buy a round of popcorn and drinks for a family of five and it's still the cheapest family movie night you're going to get.
How Much War Has the U.S. Seen?
I am grateful for the men and women who serve whether I agree with the war, the people who started it, or the politicians currently holding office.
McDonald’s Happy Meals Getting Less Happy
Before the flaming starts I should acknowledge that I'm aware there is an obesity problem in the U.S. and that our children are greatly affected by this. That is truth, and I get it. BUT, this kind of stuff doesn't seem like the solution.
EVERYTHING You Need to Know About Billings Biggest Garage Sale June 2022

Community Garden Plots Still Available
I know I often complain about the deer eating my garden before it can ever get started, but this year I actually rented a plot at the community garden in Amend Park. I rented it Saturday night and I only saw a few 10x10 plots left, so I grabbed one.
Montana’s New “Switchblade” Laws
Montana weapon laws are pretty lax compared to most states, but for some reason it stands its ground when it comes to switchblades, or automatic knives. However, there was a pretty big change last month (if you consider 1.5 inches big):
What Do You Call This?
From my 14 years here, I'm pretty sure this is Pop country, but I do hear the occasional Soda. What is your official word for this beverage that you likely shouldn't be drinking so much of in the first place?
