    My friend Jerry wrote me this week. Skipping the personal stuff, he asked, “Is it possible for you to create a 501 3C to raise money in U.S. to help people in need in Etzatlan?” Once I picked myself off the floor still hooting, I wrote back something like the following. A 501 3C? Oh, Jerry, I thought you knew me better than that! You ask me to do a suit job. I am not a suit. I am a well-worn flannel shirt. I am a lot of things, my friend. I am an artist, an inventor, a mec...

  • Time to get the job done and secure our southern border

    Updated Jan 19, 2024

    When it’s seeding time on our farm, we seed. When it’s haying time, we put up the hay. And when it’s harvest time, we bring in the crop. We don’t sit around and hope that somebody else will do the job for us. We handle it the Montana way: rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. That’s the kind of mentality that small business owners, farmers, ranchers, and hardworking Montanans all across our state bring to their jobs every single day. And it’s the type of mentality that my colleagues in Congress and President B...

    Updated Jan 19, 2024

    Zechariah 9:9-16 Out our way, most cattle now graze in fenced in pastures, and while not 100% free of predators, by and large the coyotes and lions in the area tend to steer clear.

I have shared before my time riding in the sandhills of Wyo-Braska - the area where the Nebraska panhandle meets the eastern edge of Wyoming. I used to ride at the Empire ranch which was on both sides of the...

It's good news when tires only need to be rotated, not replaced or when Marylee's grades go up, or when friend Annemarie's blood tests come back with a good report, plus a dozen other pieces of good news that reach us.
