firewood

Consider this entire article an analogy for smart living in Montana. Montana is hardly the untamed West anymore, but living here is no joke and Mother Nature always decides the rules. Messing with her is a very bad idea. Hence, the good relationships you need to have when you live here.

Damn, I hate stacking firewood.

Every single year people are scrambling to get firewood delivered the week of the first snow. Why on earth would you wait that long if you know you're going to use it?
