Chicken & Dumplings
This recipe warms your soul on a cold winter night. Your standard chicken soup with a little twist. Every time I make it I think of warm hugs, snow, and love from Grandma. The amounts of each depend on…
Prioritizing School Decisions
I’ve noticed articles about school board activities in different parts of the nation. As I have thought about things, I’m tempted to alter Clauswitz’ quote – “Everything in war is very simple, but the simplest thing is difficult” I came on to Trego’s school board when we had 4 ANB – that’s an abbreviation for Average Number Belonging. It’s defined in 20-9-311 in Montana Codes Annotated. It means we were just about out of business. A couple years later, we have the school back in business, but even the simplest thing is difficult.

Came with Invoice- But I Didn’t Order Anything!
I recently found myself subject to one of the sleazier marketing schemes, perhaps sales-scheme is more accurate. You receive a package, by mail. Unexpected. You pick it up and there is an item that you definitely didn’t order. Some company that has your address- perhaps one you’ve ordered from in the past. Even though you didn’t order this, it came with an invoice. At this point, you can (pay postage) to send it back, or pay the invoice, right? Not quite- according the US Postal Service, the item is a gift. If you were familiar with this sort of thing,…
