For me, there are only a handful of albums I've purchased in which I enjoyed every song and they've mostly been classics. How about you? When is the last time you purchased a full album (digital download included)?

As far as seeing it, that's a tough one. It is possible to view with an amatuer telescope, but here in Billings, we'll likely have substantial cloud cover when it's at its closest distance tomorrow.

I'm not sure how far down into town the alarms will make it, but if you know someone who lives near the airport you might want to let them know...or be mean and tell them there is a conflict with North Korea and to take shelter if they hear an alarm.

First off, you have to start with the right meat. It needs to be 80/20. I know many are tempted to buy the extra lean stuff either for health reasons, or because they assume since it costs more it tastes better...not the case with burgers. If you start with that 93% lean stuff, you'll end up with dry, crumbly burgers. As far as seasoning the meat goes, here's all I do:

The Mullet (a.k.a. The Wisconsin Waterfall, Tennessee Top Hat, Achy Breaky Mistakey, Business in the front - Party in the back, etc.) had quite a run amongst the country music men of the 80's and 90's but seems to have faded into history.

From 1908 to 1940, Sears and Roebuck sold kit houses through their famous catalog. Many of them are still standing today, and I bet there are at least a few of these right here in Billings

If you've never checked one of these out, you should. They're great summertime memories for the kids and admission is always free. You're not allowed to bring your own food and beverages, but the concession sales are always supporting a great local cause. You could buy a round of popcorn and drinks for a family of five and it's still the cheapest family movie night you're going to get.

Most of us have forgotten more than we remember from when we were a kid, but I bet you can tell me the first car you ever drove without thinking twice.

If you've never had homemade Ginger Ale or Root Beer, you're missing out. You can actually make some delicious fizzy beverages without having to buy anything special and it all starts with a thing called a "ginger bug".

I haven't really used Apple stuff since the Apple IIe, so it's been a while, but lately I find myself wondering if I should change from Team Android to Team Iphone. Honestly, I have no allegiance to Google, but at this point I'm heavily invested.

Mark Chesnutt performs at The Pub Station tonight. Doors open at 7 and the show starts at 8. You can click here to get tickets online.

When I heard that the melody of our National Anthem was "borrowed" from an old drinking song titled "To Anacreon in Heaven", I was expecting to hear some vague similarities between the two...that was not the case.
