GDA Rocks!
The Glasgow Downtown Association, in
conjunction with Two Rivers Growth, threw
another great party last night with the final
Alive at Five event of the summer. Pictured
taking a quick after getting everything set
up are Jami Hughes, Lindsey Peterson,
Haylie Shipp and Keegan Morehouse.
As always, the 4th Street Band was
impressive with a great variety of tunes
coming out of the Glasgow Chamber of
Commerce & Agriculture’s new stage
trailer with Gregg Hunter helping to set it
up. Thank you to all those who help make
Alive at Five possible!

Joe takes a trip to the bank...
Joe Biden walks into a bank to cash a check. As he
approaches the cashier he says, “Good morning, Ma’am,
could you please cash this check for me?”
Cashier: “It would be my pleasure sir. Could you
please show me your ID?”
Biden: “Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with
me as I didn’t think there was any need to. I am Joe
Biden, the former Vice President of the United States of
America !!!!”
Cashier: “Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all
the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of
impostors and forgers and requirements of the banking
legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID.”
Biden: “Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am
and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am.”
Cashier: “I am sorry, Mr. Biden, but these are the bank
rules and I must follow them.”
Biden: “My goodness. I am urging you, please, to
cash this check.”
Cashier: “Look Mr. Biden , here is an example
of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into
the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he
pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across
the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to
be Tiger Woods and cashed his check. Another time,
Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his
tennis racket and made a fabulous shot; the tennis ball
landed in my coffee cup. With that shot we cashed his
check. So, Mr. Biden, what can you do to prove that it is
you, and only you?”
Biden stands there thinking, and thinking, and
finally says, “Honestly, my mind is a total blank, I have
absolutely no idea what to do, I don’t have a clue.”
Cashier: “Will that be large or small bills, Mr.
Biden?”

Letter to the Buzz
Business Spotlight: Priority Communications
The services provided here are countless,
But most of us know of it as a drop-off for UPS.
The costs for this service have always been free,
Because Bill and Eric paid their fee.
Eric Seyfert (yes – that poor man growing up and I’m
sure he continues to be teased today) and Bll Franzen started
their business in 2003. You will be able to find them in a one-
level building adjacent to the Glasgow Police Station. They are
both enjoyable and humble in their demeanor. Bill is quieter,
and probably the brains of the outfit.
Since 2003, UPS and Fed-Ex have charged this business
$15.00/week/each to come and pick up packages. That amounts to
$1500 each year, for a total of $22,500 throughout the lifetime of
their business. They have provided space for us (and Plentywood
and beyond) to drop off packages at no cost, consuming it
themselves. I am humbled as they have never asked for our support.
UPS has decided to shake things up a bit. wanting
consumers to have packages picked up at their door for a fee of
up to $15.00. Their website is very devious in the amount they
charge, just stating how payment may be made. Since we are
not on a regular route, we do not have the option of a cheaper
cost. Since Bill and Eric refuse to deny us this service, UPS
has increased their weekly rates to $31.00/week. You read that
correctly – more than DOUBLE the previous rate. In discussing
this change, Bill and Eric did not see how they would be able to
consume the costs. They pondered dropping this service (which
was the intent of UPS), when a customer suggested asking for
donations. That idea sounded like an option worth pursuing, so
I sign was placed on the door asking for $1.00.
The public have been overwhelmingly supportive and
appreciative for the dedication Bill and Eric have to their
community. The irony about asking for $1 actually comes from
those who can afford it the most. They have been the only ones
refusing to pay for the service provided freely all these years. I
wonder if they provide a $1500 service to the community each
and every single year without charge?
So, the next time you need to drop off a package, or feel
compelled to act – put a buck or two in their box. I appreciate it
as do so many others who want to give back to these gentlemen
what they have so freely provided.

Doctor says masks won’t block
wildfire smoke particles…Hmmm
by Aaron Flint, Montana Talks
If you weren’t wearing a face mask for COVID-19, you
might be tempted to wear one now given all of the wildfire
pollution coming in to Montana from California, Oregon,
and Washington. But when it comes to the dangers posed
by wildfire smoke- the cloth face masks won’t work. They
won’t block the smoke particles- they’re too small, and
they can sneak through the mask.
The other morning, I was preparing for the radio
show and I spotted a story from KTVQ-TV in Billings,
Montana. The story featured a doctor from Billings who
was giving viewers tips about face masks and wildfire
smoke. Here’s the headline: “Billings doctor says COVID
masks offer minimal protection from wildfire smoke.”
Why do they offer minimal protection? Because the
particles are too small, they can sneak right through most
of the cloth face masks that people are being forced to
wear. Wait a minute, I thought. Aren’t virus particles even
smaller than wildfire smoke particles?
Turns out, my suspicions were accurate. Later that
same morning, I spotted this piece at AND Magazine
which notes how the CDC is now warning people that
cloth face masks will not protect against wildfire smoke.
The headline continues, “But Still Insist They Protect
Against Coronavirus Which Is Even Smaller Than Wildfire
Particulate?”
Here’s more from AND Magazine:
“Coronavirus particles are .12 microns in size (or up
to 1.2 microns) and the harmful particles in smoke are
0.4 to 0.7 microns. Cororonvirus – at -.12 microns in size
– ‘is about a quarter the size of the smoke and fire debris
particulate.’ So if the CDC says that cloth masks won’t filter
out the harmful and larger smoke particles, why do they
suggest that a cloth mask is effective in filtering out the
much smaller (.12 microns) coronavirus?”
By the way, for those who aren’t familiar with AND
Magazine- it is the publication edited by former CIA
Operations Officer Sam Faddis. “His last assignment
prior to retirement in May of 2008 was as head of the CIA’s
terrorist Weapons of Mass Destruction unit.”
