Dear Missoula,

It’s snowy today, and we’ve enjoyed a summer with no wildfires in our region. The first summer like that in the 5 years we've lived here. Hopefully not the last! It is a dark time for the collective conscience of our country and our world. Donald Trump is president, institutions we care about are failing, and profit-seeking is still on the rise in spite of our best interests and those of the future.
