Revealing The Leading Cause Of Death In Montana

Death.  The older I get, the more I think about it.  I know it's morbid, but it's been occurring to me that I've already lived over half of my life.  For crying out loud, my mom got me an AARP membership for my last birthday.  I'm just not young anymore.
