Spring in Billings moves fast—one week the kids are sitting for senior pictures, the next week they're walking across the stage in their caps and gowns, and somewhere in between we lose neighbors who watched them grow up.

Ty's Take Graduation, Memorial Day, and the annual FFA banquet all stacked up this week—the kind of calendar that reminds you this town still runs on the old rhythms, even with Spaceport America drawing eyes toward the stars. These aren't the flashy stories that make

Silver City Daily Digest Monday, May 25, 2026

Ty's Take You can feel something shifting in Silver City when the conversation moves from what we used to mine to what we might build next—and this week that conversation got a little more organized. The new economic committee digging into tax reports isn't glamorous

Pagosa Springs Daily Digest Monday, May 25, 2026

Ty's Take Memorial Day's coming up, which means we'll see the flags go in at the cemetery and hear the names read—the ones who didn't come home, the ones who did but left pieces of themselves somewhere else. That's
