Would you rather be told or shown how to do something? Stationary in a classroom or learning side by side with a professional?

The acronym, WWAMI, stands for the states served by the UW Scho...

Following months of pressuring the Biden Administration to reopen Montana’s northern ports of entry to pre-pandemic hours, U.S. Senator Jon Tester on July 27 introduced a bipartisan bill requiring U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s hours of operations at northern ports to match or exceed pre-pandemic hours. “Folks along Montana’s northern border rely on consistent trade and commerce with Canada to make a living and support their families,” said Tester. “Our northern ports have been operating at reduced hours for far too long, and it’s time f...

Lollygag: to spend time aimlessly, idle; to dawdle I’m not sure this most recent very short vacation counts as lollygagging, but that’s what I’m going with. I did spend some slow-moving time (dawdling) in the sun, enough that I came home a bit sunburnt. The purpose of this trip was to accompany the grandchildren home. Our granddaughter peeled off in Denver to return to Chicagoland, while the boys and I went on to Tampa. Naturally, after a trip of that distance, I wasn’t going to return home immediately. We packed a lot into those few days. F...

For example, government bonds include con...
