Grizzly bears are emerging from hibernation in Montana. It's extremely important to be "Bear Aware."

This place is definitely a Montana dream home!

With snow from Wednesday's storm plowed off to the side of Uptown Butte's walkways, thousands of people lined the streets to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! You couldn't ask for a better day! The sun shined bright, and the wind was surprisingly forgiving as onlookers cheered on the colorful display of parade entries that made their way down Montana Street shortly after the noon hour. The Civil Air Patrol and Grand Marshal Jim McCarthy led the parade, followed by the Butte Ladies' Ancient Order of Hibernians, Butte-Silver Bow Chief Executive JP Gallagher, Anaconda's Pipes & Drum Corp, Montana Tech Athletics, and Highlands College. The parade also featured the Montana Hurling Grizzlies, Reps for the Centerville Memorial Garden, Katabatic Brewing Company, Edmonton Police Service Pipes and Drums Band, The National Forest Service & Smokey Bear, CSI, Veterans Division, The Butte Tiernan Irish Dancers, Sharp Reflections, Elite Electrical, St. Patrick's Day Color Run Representatives, Butte's Head Start Program, and Big Sky Senior Living.

Bobcat fans were excited to welcome ESPN's College Gameday to town.

I posted this picture over the weekend on my own Facebook page. And I have several friends, who actually are surveyors and pilots. So, apparently, these are used by pilots and surveyors as part of their mapping. My favorite comment was "This is what Wiley Coyote painted on the road so, he could lure the Roadrunner here and drop an anvil on his head"...

Flashback to exactly one week ago. The difference temperature wise is about 100 degrees from last Friday till today. This was the "Quiet Pool" that was closest to our room. Relaxing music being pumped in and it was extremely relaxing. I couldn't post my pictures of anybody misbehaving because, what happens in Mexico, stays there...

All week I'll share some pictures of last week at the Secrets Akumal resort.  This was early in the week.  I was a spectator at pool volleyball.

Today on our show, we had folks call in and tell us about their favorite picture. Here's mine. It was taken shortly before we lost my little brother to cancer. And it's ironic that this came up today because his beautiful daughter turns 5 today...

I had a great time at Billings Bacon Fest and wanted to share some memories from the 2015 edition. Well over 2,000 were in attendance and at first sight, the crowd was a bit intimidating. Luckily, all of the vendors were seasoned pros, ready to deal with a hungry crowd...

As a kid I wore the standard Halloween costumes made from materials that I'm sure would be banned today because they would either light on fire in a slightly warm room or give a rat toxic shock syndrome... which, come to think of it, might explain some of my personal issues :-)...

If you look up KOOK radio on Google you'll find an FM country radio station in Junction, Texas or an AM Oldies station in Modesto, California. In Billings of course we know what the real KOOK was... it was the top rated radio station in Billings for nearly 30 years...
