Ty's Take

Two colleges sending graduates out into the world the same week, a couple of major intersections getting hard looks from accident investigators, and a couple thousand women running through downtown on a Saturday morning—that's May in Billings, when the season finally turns and you can feel the region shifting gears from winter into work. The crash at Wicks and Main is a reminder that we've all gotten a little rusty after months of careful driving, and the obits in today's paper tell us who we're losing as we move forward. But mostly what you see this week is momentum: young people with diplomas heading out, a community still moving, still showing up.
