Because you write about Montana, I thought you may be interested to know we were holding this event in Washington, D.C. this weekend. It is organized by a group of us who were born and raised in MT (Winifred, Missoulia, Lolo, West Glaicer, Broadus, Geyser), and now live in [...]

Gasoline prices continue moving higher
April 23, 2007 | 1 Comment
A strong economy (= strong demand for gasoline) and refinery shortfalls (= less than strong supply of gasoline) have combined to produce a situation where higher prices for gasoline have not been able to attract more supply, and may have to trade even higher in order to turn-off some demand.

Schweitzer on TV
April 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Two screenshots of Governor Schweitzer when he appeared on “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday. It was a relatively tame, uneventful show – and unlike all previous shows that I can recall, there were TWO conservatives and only ONE Democrat, instead of the other way around. Hmmm…maybe that’s why it was such a tame [...]

Governor Schweitzer in Real Time
April 18, 2007 | 1 Comment

Carnival Of The Cities
April 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Much obliged to the folks over at Home Turf Media for including the Easter Egg entry in their Carnival Of The Cities roundup this week! Yeah, the Big Sky Blog isn’t specific to just one city (or town, given the size of our communities!), but as Craig has pointed out, Monana is just one town [...]

A Good Egg
April 6, 2007 | 3 Comments
I didn’t know that each state gets to select an artist to design a special egg for the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the White House; this has been going on for several years, apparently. Of course, the Montana submission – from Jill Hodges – is just beautiful.
Sadly, it seems that our neighbors to [...]

* a sweet Passover
The 8-day Jewish Biblical Festival of Pesach (PEH-sahkh, PAY-sahkh) begins on the 15th day of the month of Nissan (that’s the Babylonian ‘Nissan’, not the Japanese ‘Nissan’), which this year will be at sunset today on the civil calendar.
