I'm not a huge fan of lettuce, so this is most definitely a biased review, but I say you should upgrade that B.L.T. Ditch the lettuce and go with avocado. I understand this recipe won't win me a spot in this year's Bacon Fest, but it's sound advice nonetheless...

If you're one of those sadistic people who loves to terrify their friends and family, check out the "Scary Tapping Peeper." This thing would probably make me jump out of my skin. Basically, it's a latex face that you suction cup to the outside of a window, ideally with the head just at the base of the sill...

In regard to the title of this post, I am referring specifically to these mass shootings that are plaguing our nation. I know that these crimes account for a relatively small percentage of the overall gun fatalities in our country, but these are the crimes that elicit the biggest emotional response from the public at large and inevitably lead to gun control debates...

This year, it became Montana law that school children receive the chickenpox vaccination. As of Oct. 1,  students attending public schools in Montana were required to be vaccinated against chickenpox -- and receive a booster of pertussis (whopping cough) vaccine at seventh grade...

Once again this year, Brewer Dental Center is offering to buy your Halloween Candy for $1 a pound. In addition to knowing that you might be saving yourself some extra pounds or cavities, you can also know that your candy will be shipped off to our troops overseas via Operation Gratitude...

Just about every guy I know thinks they make a mean pot of chili and I am no exception. Of course, in my case, I'm right; my chili is awesome. I thought since we're about to enter chili season, I'd share the three ingredients that help give my chili its incredible flavor...

The nation's first marijuana resort is scheduled to open this New Year's Eve in Flandreau, S.D. The resort is being constructed by the Santee Sioux tribe who has already had great success in the casino business. South Dakota is not a state where marijuana has been decriminalized...

Whether you're a player or a spectator, make plans to check out Night Under the Lights for the first time in Big Sky Country. This 3-on-3 basketball tournament takes place at the Shrine Auditorium with a couple of notable twists that set it apart from the annual Above the Rim Tournament...

Most Montanans are smart enough not to drink and drive, but statewide the statistics are grim. Anytime we have a story involving a drunken driver injuring or killing someone, many residents speak up and demand the maximum punishment possible...

If I had my way, the FCC would fine networks for excessive crying. It's gotten out of hand. People cry on TV now at the drop of a hat. I mean, I'm not heartless, so I get that sometimes emotions can get out of control, but some of these shows just seem to coax gratuitous crying for no good reason...

As Halloween approaches, we will soon be inundated with ghostly images and supernatural stories. Personally, I am not a believer in ghosts. I would love to see one, but I am certain that will never happen. There was, however, an event that happened to me when I was 16 that made me question my disbelief in ghosts walking the earth...

I've never thought of Red Lodge as a "redneck town," but I suppose it depends on what you mean by redneck. The term "Redneck" means different things to different people. For some it's a slur and for others it's a title they proudly claim...
