  • Spring Has Arrived, Snowpack Largely Above Normal

    ERIC LARSON, Montana NRCS|Apr 12, 2023

    As we enter spring and the typical snowpack peak season, the water supply outlook is currently good across most of Montana. That can be attributed to consistent and mostly above-normal precipitation this water year. “March precipitation continued the trend of exceptional moisture received this year on the east side of the Continental Divide,” said Eric Larson, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Water Supply Specialist. East of the divide, March precipitation ranged from about 100% of normal in the Bighorn Mountains to nea...

  • COUSIN CLEAVON'S REDNECK COOKING: Where Do Jellybeans Come From?

    COUSIN CLEAVON|Apr 12, 2023

    Everyone believes jellybeans come from the Easter bunny, and it is true. But did you know you can make your own bootleg jellybeans with an army of albino rabbits? The Easter bunny is like a bee. The bunny eats flowers and then regurgitates balls of pure sugar AKA jellybeans. The Easter bunny, when traveling, will eat all the flowers it can find. The natural sugar in the flowers helps them make their journey across the world. This is also why we do not see many flowers in March and the first...

Isn’t this wrong of them to do? They don’t seem to see it as a problem. Double Named Twins Dear Double, Wow. I’ve heard of grandparents giving their grands a nickname, but never an ENTIRELY different name! Yes, th...

    BILL LANES|Apr 12, 2023

    As spring approaches many individuals have an itch, it's time to start mucking through possessions. My friends and I helped another person in need of this kind of service, sifting through a lifetime of collections. Our community benefited from this as we set up an event to give back needed clothing items for free. I would venture to guess many readers have made some type of spring-cleaning plans. Letting go of items can be challenging for some but this often is necessary. Letting go of unnecessary traditions or practices can also be...
