I’m not from around here. Sometimes that can be really hard. Usually I’m too distracted by the fun I’m having and the quirky local culture to notice the hard parts about not being a native North Dakotan myself. Once in a while, though, the very not-from-here nature of my existence creeps in. If it happens […]

Despite rising gas and food prices, your summer vacations don't need to cost a lot, especially if you travel within the state. Who needs to go to Disneyland?

NDistinct Chatter: Always Remember

First off, happy Memorial Day to all four of my readers. I’m not sure if “happy” is the right word to use for this day, as it is intended to be a somber holiday, dedicated to memorializing all the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to their country. Originally known as […]

The First 3 Minutes

It's almost summer time, and that means we're entering tornado season. Natural or man-made disasters will strike without warning. In North Dakota, we should prepare for a house fire, tornado, or a chemical spill. In other parts of the country, the disasters might be earthquakes or flash flooding. When planning for disasters, follow the 3-3-3-1 […]

Upside Down Under: The Saudi Arabia of wind…

When I was working at the Minot Daily News, I interviewed Senator Kent Conrad one day about the rise of wind energy in North Dakota. On that day, there was a groundbreaking ceremony for a wind energy project near Velva. At one point during our interview Conrad told me that wind energy has no limit […]

Northern Celebrations: Free fishing and a challenge

Nowadays, it might seem weird that back in the early 1990s, the N.D. Game and Fish Department formed an internal committee to look at ways to promote fishing opportunities in the state. After all, in a state with a population of less than 800,000 people, the agency anticipates more than 200,000 will be sold in […]

Northern Celebrations: It’s spring – think about November deer hunting

It’s the end of May, but it’s time to start thinking about deer hunting. Especially because the 2022 North Dakota deer gun and muzzleloader applications are available with the June 8 deadline typically approaching faster than what one realizes.

She's Not From Around Here: The Carousel

“I’m about to put a quarter in!” I called to a couple walking their daughter in a stroller at the zoo. “Does she want to rid?” They parked their stroller and helped their little girl climb onto one of the miniature horses on the merry-go-round at the zoo. My boys were already seated on their […]
