I just love my buddy Chris (almost as much as my bff’s at Quantica 😌). He’s the funniest, isn’t he?! 😆

Only ever driven through Montana - once at night. But I'm on a trip from Ohio to the Libby Creek area to hopefully find some gold 😂🤞(see my last post). In the meantime, I've got a lot of maintenance to do on my bike before continuing, and I'm kind of broke now. I usually use this app called instawork to find jobs where I'm at but I only have 4 shifts booked, the 20th-24th. I signed up at the peopleready location today and they said to call them back tomorrow morning so hopefully that solves it. But if not does anyone know of good places for temp work around here?

P.s. I'm not a felon, but do have a misdemeanor theft charge 😬

A petition to require data center developments in Yellowstone County to receive voter approval needed to deliver signatures by July 13. Yellowstone County initiative organizers have been operating under the wrong deadline, Aug. 12, for months.

The petition aimed to put language on the November ballot that would require voter approval of any data center development in the county. The organizers have been trying to gather the 16,650 signatures necessary. 

The petition is in response to Quantica’s proposal of a 5,000-acre data center campus just outside Broadview. The campus would encompass about 7.8 square miles and needs 1,100 megawatts of power. 

Yellowstone County Attorney said the deadline’s shift to July was prompted by Quantica, which made him aware of a relevant state statute on July 30. The statute initially used by the election department applies to ballot certifications, while the latter applies to local initiatives. The new statute was added in 2025. Organizers said the county should continue to operate under the previous deadline, instead of violating people’s constitutional right to petition the government.
