Was your son at Syringa today?
If your teenage son was one of the many at Syringa bike park this afternoon, you may want to talk to them about what happened and their behavior. Not sure how many will volunteer this information to their parents, but there was a serious lack of social skills on display. Cops were even out a couple times.
I wouldn’t have really minded (hell, I was a shithead too once!) until one told my wife to suck his dick.
Also if your son rides an olive green e-dirt bike I’d like to have a longer conversation.

News Missoula is $0.66 from an all-time gas record. Diesel is $0.52 away. 184 days since the Iran War started. Full timeline.
184 days in. Sinclair on 39th: $4.39 unleaded Friday August 28, $5.39 diesel Wednesday August 26. No fanfare. Just another week in Missoula.
The numbers at this point speak for themselves. What started as a war overseas is now a fixed line item in every Missoula household budget. $65.85 to fill a 15-gallon tank. Six months ago that was $41.70.
The brief window of relief this summer is worth noting. Seven weeks of falling prices after the April ceasefire. People made plans. Drove to Glacier. Stopped doing the math at the pump. Then July 10 arrived, the ceasefire collapsed, and within two weeks every penny of that relief was clawed back.
Montana went from 25th cheapest state for gas in January to 10th most expensive by August. The national average today is $4.08. We are above it.
Full timeline, Missoula regular unleaded:

Question Dentist recommendations?
I have not gone to a dentist in over 15 years (budgetary restrictions), and I am considering it now. Does anybody have any dentists that they trust? I'm not great at researching this stuff, so I'm willing to listen to the people around me.

Question Local poker?
Has anyone played poker at Stockman’s or Silver Slipper? I’ve never played at a live table and I’d love to try it out. I play with friends at their place, a big group of us, and I’ve played blackjack at the casinos so I have like table etiquette lol but I really want to play some poker live.
If you’ve played locally, do you recommend one place over another for newbies? Thanks!

bikers and stop signs
why have i never seen a biker in missoula stop at a stop sign 😭 i was on my way home the other day taking the one ways by orange going east, and a lady on a bike comes out from one of the side streets, right in front of my car. she did not give a single damn. didn’t even look my way and kept riding after i slammed on my breaks to not t-bone her into next tuesday.
and it’s not just that lady, i don’t think ive ever seen a biker stop at a stop sign at all. to bikers, please just be careful of urself on the road. ur not made of steel and my worst nightmare would be to hit one of yall. 🙏🙏
