Just like clockwork

The Glasgow Fire Hall was turned into a tote-packing
factory on Wednesday with plenty of busybodies on the
assembly line. Work continued this morning and the free
totes are ready to be handed out at the Fire Hall from
4:00 this afternoon until 7:00 tonight. Please follow the
marked designated pick-up line and stay in your vehicle
and totes will be delivered to you. This is all being made
possible through the very generous donations by TC
Energy and Montana Aviation Research Company
totaling twenty-five thousand dollars!

Whoops! ballot. The 56 voters are within

Valley County and the State
of Montana have identified a
systemic error that has resulted
in 56 primary election voters
receiving an incorrect primary
a limited geographic area, that
includes all active voters residing
along the Glasgow city limits, from
Fair Street up through Kilty Drive,
on the SW side of Highway 2 only.
The impacted voters will be
contacted directly by the Valley
County Election Office and issued
a corrected ballot. None of the
ballots have been counted at
this time, and the issue will have
no effect on the validity of the
primary election.

WMAs open as usual with social distancing protocols in place

Many recreationists look
forward to May 15 every year as the
opening day of many of Montana’s
Wildlife Management Areas that are
closed between Dec. 1 and May 15 to
minimize disturbance to wintering big
game. This year is no different, with
the exception of the need for people to
follow protocols for social distancing
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the more popular spots —
the Beartooth WMA, between Great
Falls and Helena — has curtailed
overnight camping and will be open
for day-use only, from sunrise until
sunset, until further notice. FWP is
taking this step as a coordinated effort
with the Bureau of Land Management
and Lewis and Clark County closures
at nearby campgrounds due to
COVID-19. The closure to camping
will also reduce resource impacts
to the WMA while there is a lack of
other open camping sites in the area.

Old Harold has had enough of it
Harold was an old man. He was sick and in the
hospital. There was one young nurse that just drove him
crazy. Every time she came in, she would talk to him like
he was a little child.
She would say in a patronizing tone of voice, “And
how are we doing this morning, or are we ready for a
bath, or are we hungry?”
Old Harold has had enough of this particular nurse.
One day, Old Harold had breakfast, pulled the juice off
the tray, and put it on his bed side stand. He had been
given a urine bottle to fill for testing.
The juice was apple juice. So you know where the
juice went! The nurse came in a little later, picked up the
urine bottle and looked at it and informs Old Harold,
“My, but it seems we are a little cloudy today.”
At this, Old Harold snatched the bottle out of her
hand, popped off the top, and drank it down, saying,
“Well, I’ll run it through again. Maybe I can filter it better
this time.”
The nurse fainted... Old Harold just smiled.
The moral to this story? Don’t mess with Senior
Citizens!

Life is like a hot bath. The longer you stay in it, the more
wrinkled you get!
Ole walks into the hospital and tells the desk nurse,
“I want to see da eye-ear doctor.”
“There is no such doctor” she tells him. “Perhaps
you would like to see someone else?”
“Nope. I need to see da eye-ear doctor,” he says.
“But there is no such doctor,” she replies. “We have
doctors for the eyes and doctors for the ear, nose and
throat, but no eye-ear doctor.”
They go around like this for a few minutes and then
the nurse says: “I’m telling you, there is no eye-ear doctor,
but if there were one, why would you want to see him?”
“Vell it’s like dis,” Ole replies, “I keep hearing one
ting and seeing anodder.”
Letter to the Buzz
About those barking dogs
A barking dog is one of those phenomenal
anomalies that can only be heard by those whom have
not developed the ability to tune it out, similarly is a
baby’s cry. There is not a mother in the world that is
aggravated by a crying baby, hers or otherwise, so too
is the case with an incessantly barking dog and those
who themselves, keep such dogs.
The major difference between these two
examples? The likelihood of a dog’s incessant barking
disturbing neighbors is much greater than that of a
crying baby’s. This of course, is due primarily to the
proximity of a specified dog to those neighboring
houses and the ears within. A dog’s bark can easily
carry over a mile, especially with no trees or buildings
to break-up the sound. Never mind when the air is
thin, clear and breezy, it is then possible to hear a dog
bark up to two miles away. A baby’s cry, on the other
hand, is barely audible through a tightly shut door.
The Dog and Cat Management Act of 1995
defines excessive barking as a noise that persistently
occurs or continues to such a degree or extent
that it unreasonably interferes with the peace, the
comfort or the convenience of a person. This is a
very opinion-based definition in that no two people’s
comfort levels are the same, nor does it take the same
amount of applied force (barking) to interfere with
two different people’s places of peace.
Even still as such defined, the responsibility does
not fall to the neighbors, rather it is clearly the
responsibility of any dog owner to ensure their
neighbors’ peace is not disturbed by their dog.
In today’s highly-sensitive culture, everybody
is afraid to offend and therefore we have allowed
our moral scruples on the part of neighborly
accommodation to deteriorate to the point that
the authorities are now forced to get involved for
something as simple, trivial even, as two neighbors
maintaining dispute over the noise created by one
neighbor’s dog.
To me, it seems the question is not one of right or
wrong, nor of political correctness nor incorrectness
for the consequences are not so dire as all that.
Rather it is a question of neighborly responsibility.
No neighbor is opposed to a dog, so long as that dog
does not disturb the peace to which they are entitled.
Therefore, the responsibility falls to the owner,
the responsibility to train, maintain, regulate, and
otherwise account for their dog’s behavior inasmuch
as it may be disturbing to one’s neighbors and also as
to the well-being of the dog. After all, keeping a dog
is a privilege, not a right and as such it requires one
to remain in good standing within the confines of law
and neighborly respectability, the same as having a
license to drive.
Peace!
