There are so many, I couldn't name them all.
However, one that really sticks in my mind was about the 1895 Butte explosion.
I had spent Christmas eve and Christmas morning with my family and then had to head home since I had to work the next day. I was really bummed about having to leave my daughters and spend Christmas in a small apartment alone.
As I drove into the thriving metropolis of White Sulphur Springs Montana, I noticed the Lane Bar was open. What better way to drown your sorrows than with a beer in an empty dive bar?
I walk in and the place is packed with people without families to celebrate with. It was turning into a great party when something caught my eye and the retired electricians eye I was drinking with.
It was a documentary on an explosion in Butte Montana in 1895. So we turned up the volume a little and started getting sucked into the story. Next thing you know, all the TVs were on the station and nobody in the bar was talking. Everyone, 40 or 50 people, were dead silent watching this little part of Montana history none of us had ever heard of.
To this day, parts of that show still pop in my head.
