Friday Fragments

I'm mad about our national media coverage.

I'm wondering how many places in town there are where you can get a sub sandwich. If you count steak sandwiches and all those that are served on a sub bun in every restaurant in town. That's a lot of competition.

First of all, thank you for contributing to our radiothon to help St. Vicent's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. We raised $99,210 and donations are still coming in.

A gift idea for you: carbon monoxide detectors. You can get them locally at Ace Hardware for $24.99. And you could save somebody's life.

We had somebody sleeping in our control room yesterday morning. It was OK, he brought his own champagne.

Instead of my usual Friday Fragments, I want to reflect on some of the memories that pop up when I think back to the beginning of what we've built here over the years.

Governor Gianforte signed a bill relaxing some of the rules for concealed carry of firearms in our state. I'm extremely pro-gun anyway. But the best part of this decision is that some of the anti-gunners that I've had fights with on Facebook will lose their minds over the decision.

The Bernie Sanders memes that are all over Facebook are pretty funny. But, it occurs to me that I don't know how to make my own memes.

I can't remember what she said that she paid for it, but I know that she sold it in 1973 for $13,000.00. Zillow.com now has it's estimated value at a little over $160,000.

I don't know if I've ever needed a break from the job more than I did in December. While I was off I didn't watch one single newcast, local or national. It really did the trick. I was excited to get back to work. I'm thankful to have a job that I really enjoy.

I sort of wanted to find one picture of the 1,958 photos on my iPhone that adequately depicts how blessed I am.

I want to say thank you to everybody who sent us money this year because we've asked for your help a lot this year.
