Even though Sand Springs, is a dot on the map 70 some odd miles from Roundup, Montanans know that Sand Springs is still our community. I had been planning to do a little story on some tiny country schools, one of which is the Sand Springs school, when the Wuhan virus shut our schools down. After the third week I was itching for a drive, and I decided to visit the little Country Store RV Park and Post Office at Sand Springs. As I drove up there wasn't a car in sight. Sky, land and highway stretch...

It reads, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy...

I worry about our future as a free society.Will a future President use another...
