Some Things Fishy I can’t remember the first time I went fishing, or the first fish I caught. I’m thinking I was about six years old or so and do know that I’ve been an avid fisherman to this day. Every fisherman has a few tales to tell. Many have much better recollection than I. […]

Spring is never all sunny days and warm temperatures, but it is a season of promise, foremost being that […]

Flooded Minot There really doesn’t seem to be very much to Minot’s Souris River, generally meandering silently through the city.

A Slice of Life

Snarling Ghost Dogs of Dog Den Butte Snarling ghost dogs? In North Dakota? Once was – maybe. Maybe yet today.

Abundance of Good Sense

A Slice of Life There’s common sense, good sense, nonsense, perhaps no sense. I like to think I have an abundance of the first two on that list, but there are those, in numbers I shall not reveal, that firmly adhere to the belief I am far more fittingly described by the latter two. To […]
