I take the pulse of Grand Avenue regularly as it is probably a better indicator of how much life there is lingering about in this community. It is as busy as ever, now with occasional necessary left turn lanes and otherwise 4 lanes zipping up and down. The signs, this one on 13th and Grand, usually tell a tale. This one can be read as unusually long-lasting good will for what our Big Sky All-Stars were able to do this year in Little League Baseball: which is to go all the way to the championship national game in South Williamsport. Not bad for ordinary kids, huh? Gas prices remain high, though with inflation I suppose $3 gas is the same as 30 cent gas when we were kids. Is that the trees turning color already in late September or the natural color of the leaves this time of the year?
