MONTANA'S  GIFT  TO  AMERICA
------- 
.. The leaked presidential infrastructure plan is available on line. We're hoping it really is  just a draft with talking points only.
.. View the Fact Sheet PDF Here - 1.  View the Funding Principles Here - 2.
.. Below we've highlighted an interesting obnoxious shitty way to fund the bridges, water supplies, roads, airports, electrical distribution, and other bits of our crumbling infrastructure.

AMERICA'S GIFT TO THE WORLD
.. We're quite sure that there will be much pork to be consumed across the nation in celebration of the proposal.
.. We anticipate that the proposed federal contributions to the projects will go up and that the proposed private contributions will go down.
.. We do need help for our dated and obsolete infrastructure: no question about it.
.. We also need the adults in the room to take a stand on the way we go about the help. We question weather a philandering con artist and dime store cowboy have the answers that America needs.

.. We've had some snow in dribs and drabs and the high country is piling up nicely. The temperatures have been moderate and seasonal or, slightly on the less cold side.
.. Even the neighbors with legs that wobble less than ours have been out in the real world of catch - release - and - brag.
RIGHT SIZE SMOKER
.. Winter fishing pressure from visitors has slowed over the last decade or so and now there are two feather merchants completely closed up.
.. Catching success has been mixed. Ice fishers are stocking up on 'smokers,' (Mountain Whitefish,) while stream fishers are still pestering spawners from the rivers.
.. Should you happen to know where Indian Creek joins the Madison River you might easily take a fish every 10 minutes.
A PINK FEATHER DUSTER
.. Both trout and mountain whitefish use the lower reaches of this ephemeral creek and hang out until Spring around it's mouth.
.. Our ice rink is slick and fast, the town roads are in excellent shape, trinket and T-shirt shops are open and, visitors are strolling the walkways. The only hazard in town is the skiers who insist on walking six abreast in the road - such is life.
-----
.. It's early and we're having a midlife morning so perhaps we'll shovel in the dark, warm our buns by the stove, contemplate the universe and have an early breakfast. Or, try to get a couple of hours of shuteye.
