Time to put the garden to bed

A truck pulling a horse trailer rolled over on U.S. 93 near Lutheran Camp Road about 7:45 a.m. Saturday. One of the people in the truck was trapped and went to Kalispell Regional Medical Center.

Easy as shootin' fish in a barrel
We've all heard the old expression, "Easy as shootin' fish in a barrel." From the way the cowboys and miners in my childhood used that descriptive statement, I learned early on that a guy who'd actually shoot fish in a barrel was considered on a par with men who still wore high button shoes; however, as a little kid I remember wanting to secretly get some fish and put them in a barrel to see if shooting them really was easy. There were insurmountable obstacles. We only had three barrels, a wooden one on the back porch where the drinking water was stored and two steel ones for hauling water from a spring six miles down the mountain. I could also visualize what kind of spanking I'd get for shooting a hole in any of those vital containers. Besides, I was not allowed to use guns without supervision.
