"We don’t even know what it is until it starts,” said Dan Brauneisen, general manager of Kalispell’s Cinemark theater, referring to the “secret movie” that plays for $5 on Monday nights about once a month. More than a dozen of us took the leap of faith in early December. All we knew about the film was that it was rated R. I casually chatted up people before the big reveal. Cambria, the ticket seller, guessed it would be a horror flick. I shuddered. Mondays are scary enough.

Last weekend I brought out all my sweaters and donned a pair of the wool socks I will wear for the next five months.

Flathead voters, let’s talk. As a member of a resolution board that worked the last federal general election, I have pointers. To vote, fill in the circle. Don’t circle the circle. Don’t make a little stab at it. Don’t make a check mark, no matter how fancy. Don’t get peanut butter on your ballot. Don’t pick more than one candidate in a race where only one may be selected. The resulting “overvote” vaults your efforts to a labor-intensive level of scrutiny.
