A recent Daily Inter Lake ad from Loula’s celebrates Jan. 23 as National Pie Day, a swell time to enjoy a slice of proof that God loves us.

What’s more, we get to officially do this again in March on Albert Einstein’s birthday and International Pi Day, March 14, 2015 (3.1415).

Is this a great country or what!

Plus, it has long been recognized that pie dutifully consumed on national holidays has no calories... or maybe only a few.

Remember: Pie are not round. Pi are squared. —Andy Palchak, Kalispell

A number of citizens have registered both valid complaints and detailed explanations concerning the status quo.
