Check out the GBBC – Great Backyard Bird Count The Great Backyard Bird Count is underway Feb. 18 through Feb. 21, and participants don’t have to be expert ornithologists to participate.

Rules for Thee and not for Me

Just about every breathing adult today knows we live in a more polarized society than at any other time in recent memory. And some people will simply vote for whichever candidate is aligned with whatever party they feel most aligned with, regardless of any individual traits that candidate has or stances that candidate takes on […]

2022

I have long lamented the state of affairs with the political parties in North Dakota. The Republican party has become a very big-tent party. In most of the state, if someone wants to run for office, they realize their only hope for success is to run as a Republican. They may or may not have […]

Declutter and Donate

Last week I talked about simplifying your life, paring down on things that clutter your time, your emotions and your space.
