President Clinton In Town?

May 18th, 2006 Shelby, MT-
Getting looks and stares from most all who passed by today was a big, long Fleetwood Cadillac limo. Parked on Main St. for most of the afternoon, the elegant black car with dark tinted windows was starting rumors flying and we at NBMC are not going to stop that trend... Hint, the car is from Washington, D.C. but came here from Texas...

Save The Net

Editors Note:
Congress is about to sell out the Internet by letting big phone and cable companies set up toll booths along the information superhighway.

Companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending tens of millions in Washington to kill "network neutrality" -- a principle that keeps the Internet open to all.

A bill moving quickly through Congress would let these companies become Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow -- and which won't load at all -- based on who pays them more. The rest of us will be detoured to the "slow lane," clicking furiously and waiting for our favorite sites to download.

Don't let Congress ruin the Internet:

Courtney Love Sells 25%

Entertainment News:
Courtney Love has sold 25% of Nirvana's back catalog of music to a former Virgin Record general manager for more than 50 million dollars. See the story at Rolling Stone in their News section. How long do you think the $50 ml will last given her past spending habits? What about that legend that she had something to do with Kurt Cobain's death? Do you feel that she should have received 98% of the rights to the music and the other band members got 2%?

Xtreme Hounds, Alaska Or Bust

Xtreme Hounds, Alaska Or Bust
Today we had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Dave and Tessa Peterson who were traveling with their sled dogs to Alaska. They call their sledding venture Extreme Hounds and judging by the trophies they display in the above photo, those dogs live up to their name sake. Dave and Tessa really love their dogs and it shows. The dogs travel in warmth and comfort in the custom trailer which Dave built. At first glance you might think that the dogs have little room, but looking closer, I could see that each compartment is quite large and lined with clean straw. Besides that, there are two dogs to a compartment so they stay even warmer and have companionship. Today the Peterson family was stocking up on fuel (100 gallons) so that they would not have to make too many more stops on their way to Fairbanks. They told NBMC that they make their summer home in Alaska and other times in Park Rapids, Minnesota. We would like to say what a great couple they are but that would be lacking because they are really a trio. Pictured above with them is their son, Miles. He did nothing but grin and coo the whole time we stood out freezing in the cold weather.

Strangest Story

The strangest story which I covered this past week was about a runaway truck that destroyed a gas pump. The unattended pickup rolled uphill, that's right, uphill and then wiped out the fuel pump and nearly knocked down the canopy above it.
