...started - a job in Kalispell, the closest town of any size (pop. 14,000) to my home. That's about 50 miles [80 km] away. The daily round trip on $3-per-gal. gas meant that after the associated costs of commuting I'd be earning only $2 an hour. That spurred my decision to move somewhere that has public transportation. I suppose that those who choose to stay in Big Sky country, like Kirn, could follow the example of the Amish and trade their gas-guzzling pickup for an oat-powered team of horses and a buckboard.

...faith in the HCC’s planning and aptitude, based largely on initial signals of success that were not only misleading but proved to be incorrect. In reporting to us the first-day ticket sales, the HCC (unintentionally) provided inflated figures.

Around a campfire, he tells his captive audience: "Fair dinkum, I get around. You never know where I'll pop up." Almost an hour into Wolf Creek, the pressure has become almost unbearable. Which is exactly how first-time writer-director Greg Mclean wants it. When he learns that at a recent screening, five people left the theater around this point in the movie, and only four came back, his voice perks up: "They...
...School to instruct her cardio-kickboxing class. “We’re going to walk up three steps, then left kick, back three steps, and then right kick,” she said last Thursday as she instructed the class. Every Thursday morning, Simmons teaches an hour-long session for Harvard students. Though waking up in the morning might be difficult to some, she said she appreciates the morning exercise. “I’m mostly a morning person, so it’s not a big deal for me,” said Simmons...
