Sarpy Sam has a potentially rage-inducing post up…it seems that the school that his young’un attends is requiring that he complete a form for free/reduced price lunches in the school cafeteria. But there’s a twist: Sam’s child doesn’t purchase cafeteria food, as Sam’s Darling Wife packs her a healthy meal every day. So [...]

During last weekend’s Montana Blogger Bash (Kimbear Edition), a new Big Sky Blogger was found: Amber! You know the drill: click on over to Amber’s place, welcome her to the Big Sky Blogosphere, and be sure to toss her into your blogroll. Sounds like the MBB was quite a success – I’m [...]

There’s even a formal mission statement from the Missoula Skatepark Association:
The Missoula Skatepark Association formed [...]

My company, LexBlog, is relocating from Seattle to Bozeman. We are the [...]

My computer seems to be going haywire and I will attempt to write this yet again! :0)
I logged onto the Bozeman Chronicle and noticed an ad for the Village Downtown. They appear to be townhomes but start at $615,000. This makes the “Palo Alto in the Rockies” comment seem to be even more accurate doesn’t [...]
