The world of communications is constantly changing and most of it runs parallel to the changes in technology. And for those of us who work in communications, it’s sometimes been a difficult transformation. As an example in each of the past three years, North Dakota has lost three weekly newspapers in the Dunn County Herald […]

Upside Down Under: Regina to Minot 250 

It wasn’t quite the Iditarod, but we had our own version of long-distance winter recreation that was fun for a lot of people.  How many of you remember a snowmobile race that started in Regina and ended in Minot? It was called the Regina Minot International 250 that took place in the 1970s and early […]

Northern Celebrations: It’s almost turkey time

For all of the love one glitzy import gets from North Dakota hunters, it almost seems unjust another import doesn’t garner the same amount of affection and attention. Especially considering that less respected import here in North Dakota is so highly revered by hunters virtually everywhere else. We’re talking turkeys here, folks. Admittedly, it seemed […]

For the Farmer

Promoting Agriculture This past weekend, I had the privilege of traveling to our nation’s capital – Washington, D.C.  Being out east, I had the chance to reconnect with some old friends and meet new ones.  A trip like this always offers the opportunity to talk to big city folks about production agriculture in North Dakota.  […]

Food Storage

Let's talk food storage   At first blush, talking about food storage may sound hard core prepper, but it's really not. It's hard core common sense.  When preppers talk about food storage, they are usually talking about a long-term food storage made up of MREs and freeze-dried foods that will see them through an end-of-the-world catastrophe.

She’s Not from Around Here 

A casseroler’s take on life in hot dish territory  “Wow, look at all those shades of brown.” The comment was delivered with faux awe from my passenger seat. Her sarcasm was friendly, not fiery. We both laughed.  “Now, now — don’t be judgmental. Look,” I said while pointing out the windshield. “Right there. Val’s Cyclery […]

Outdoor Lessons for the Real World 

That's Mine  You don’t need to be a parent to understand that kids can get very protective of their toys. Sit down at any local café in our country, and it takes less time to realize we adults don’t have anything to brag about when it comes to humility and sharing either. Now throw in […]

For the Farmer

Ag Expo Recap “Did you learn anything at the Ag Show?”  A common question to commence the small talk and maybe pry a little if you were not able to make it to Minot any of those three days.  Now that the KMOT Ag Expo in Minot has come and gone, what did you learn?  […]

A Prescription for Congress in 2023

Although nothing is a sure bet in politics, at this point it seems that the Republicans are well poised to take back both the House and the Senate.  Unfortunately, as is often the case for elections, it will be due more to the poor performance of the Biden administration and the Pelosi-Schumer antics, than anything […]
