I had the honor Thursday night of doing the stage announcing for the sold-out Josh Turner concert at Alberta Bair Theater. I love doing these and being able so see so much of the Cat Pack up close and personal. While announcing the show, I decided to do Billings' Biggest Selfie...

I'm thinking about starting a new group called, "Cops Lives Matter." This hatred-filled group, "Black Lives Matter," I feel, is partially responsible for four brave policemen losing their lives in the past 10 days. And, where is our president...

Labor Day, designed as an annual celebration of the American labor movement, also marks the unofficial start of summer. For many, it means a three-day weekend and a chance to get out of town. AAA Travel, in fact, estimates that as many as 35...

I saw this picture a while back of a larger man eating a cheeseburger at a race that had nearly every fast food logo you could think of tattooed on his body. It floated around Facebook for awhile so maybe you saw it, too. At some point, maybe this year, I would like to get a tattoo...

On Saturday, Sept. 19, your kids will be encouraged to deface public property. That's right -- Chalk on the Walk is back. In case you're not familiar, this event invites everyone to come do some chalk art on the sidewalks of downtown Billings on Third Avenue starting near North 27th Street at Soup 'n Such and Billings First Church, including sidewalks by the Broadway Deli & Café, stretching pa

It's not just because I was up at 2:36 this morning. But, it was one of the first things that I saw on Facebook. There was the story about the police checkpoint on Billings' West End on Tuesday. Comments ranged from things, like, "It's illegal for them to stop you for no reas" to a couple of "doughnut" jokes...

If  you plan to travel this Labor Day weekend, and millions are, Montanans could find the lowest Labor Day unleaded gas prices in a decade, according to AAA MountainWest, which serves Montana, Wyoming and Alaska. In Montana, the average unleaded gas price is $2...

There is a great alternative to poverty and it doesn't  cost anything: studying. If you study you can do anything you want to do. A gentleman my dad flew with on a trip to Montana was from Korea. He was a retired CEO at Proctor and Gamble and told Dad it is so easy in America to be successful...

Warm, windy conditions over the weekend fanned wildfires that are burning in the Western, Central and even Eastern part of Montana, filling the air with smoke which left some Billings residents reaching for facial masks. “Air quality in Yellowstone County has ranged from unhealthy for sensitive groups to very unhealthy over the past two weeks,” John Felton, Yellowstone County Health Officer, said

In my opinion, the radio industry, especially at the corporate level, doesn't take AM radio very seriously. But here in Montana, AM radio is still listened to a lot. I started on KMON-AM in Great Falls. That station reached 48 Montana counties and three Canadian provinces...

I started dipping snuff in the summer of 1988 when I was 12 years old. My friend Steven would steal a can from the roll in his dad's truck and we would get ready for a major buzz. After a summer of doing this, I noticed that the buzz wasn't nearly as intense or fun, but for whatever reason I found myself craving more of it...
