Welcome to Caught My Eye (CME)!

CME is the once-a-week column that is posted every Friday morning. This is when I look at some of the stories I did not have time to write about during the week.

Here are some of the things that “Caught My Eye” this week:

• Montana Fires
• Jury Duty
• Banning Books
• SCOTUS

MONTANA FIRES:

My home burned to the ground when I was young. We were visiting family about 25 miles away when my parents received the call. As we drove home we could see the glow of the fire. I remember my mom crying. We lost everything.

It was tough on my parents starting over with nothing, but with the help of friends, family, and strangers they overcame the tragedy.

This week Montana was hit with several wildfires that destroyed 11 homes south of Great Falls and 24 homes in Denton, according to the Associated Press.

These people are hurting, so we need to help them.
