Baby Critters

Found these babies at the 25th Annual Quilt Show, presented by the Missoula Quilter's Guild held yesterday and Friday. The quilts were awesome.

This lovely offering was made by Charlotte Hanger, and is titled, Wild Animal Cabin Quilt.

Is Missoula at Risk?

How many sleeper cells of radical Skiourosism are waiting it out in the maple trees of our streets?

Fire investigators are pinning several recent spot fires near Seeley Lake on an unlikely group of arsonists -

squirrels.

A man reported the wildfires last Wednesday afternoon outside his home on Montana Highway 83, moments after turning the ignition key on his RV.

Unbeknownst to the driver, a local colony of gray squirrels had been stowing pine cones in the vehicle's exhaust pipe, and the loaded tailpipe began blasting fiery cones across his driveway like a Roman candle, igniting a handful of small grass fires.
