Fly North Dakota Passport Program.

March 10, 2010
Thumbnail image for Fly North Dakota Passport Program.

There are 89 airports in North Dakota, 81 being general aviation facilities, and eight with air carrier services. My friend and I are going to attempt to visit all of them. This means the U.S. dependence upon foreign oil may have a slight increase in the coming year(s), inversely related to a dip in my checkbook [...]

Snow accumulation.

February 7, 2010

For the second or third time, we have a “blizzard to end all blizzards!!” on the East coast.
I get a little tired hearing about the winter storms on the East coast, in which photos like this make the news. The main story isn’t the storm, really, but the fact that it’s happening in a more [...]

No markings.

January 8, 2010

U2 wrote about the streets that had no name.
This is the time of year when the streets, while still remaining fully named, have no markings. The snow pack and piles have done them in.
This means, conveniently, that you can make a left turn lane wherever you please. For example, anywhere.
No really, anywhere.
Such drivers are coming [...]

Over Dakota searching.

November 2, 2009

The scene earlier today, from the air over western North Dakota, on a real CAP SAR.
“The Highway Patrol along with three civil air patrol planes are also searched from the air but were called off after dark.”
UPDATE: I’m sad to say that the three girls (and their dog) weren’t found alive. Just by taking a [...]

Coffee in Jamestown.

October 27, 2009

Babb’s Coffee House in Jamestown, North Dakota, which I visited a few weeks ago with a fabulous friend and a busy little boy.
It was a really nice place, and I imagine, had I liked coffee, I’d have things to say about that.
There’s a Babb’s in Fargo, too.
I was amazed to see such a large (in [...]

The difficulty with signage, Part 2.

May 27, 2009

Well, first there was this post, discussing signs.
This past weekend I was able to spend a lot of time with a friend and his parents, and one of the things we did was go to Ft. Abraham Lincoln State Park. This site features some reconstructed fort buildings, the Custer house, and a replica of a [...]

Tax Day Tea Party in Bismarck.

April 15, 2009

Tax Day Tea Party in Bismarck., originally uploaded by Julie R. Neidlinger.
“I suppose this will end up on some bizarre web site,” she said to her friend right before I took the photo. There were more people; this was at the end of the day when I stopped to get my mail. In talking to [...]

God hates North Dakota.

March 27, 2009

Or, at least that’s the gospel according to the Westboro Baptist “god hates fags” Church (i.e. We Is All Related Church). Go get yerself a poster and start a postin’ them around yer town.
Granted, most people hate the idea of ever living North Dakota, but the Almighty apparently hates the state.
Using Ezekiel 26:19 (King James [...]

Noah in North Dakota.

March 25, 2009

It looks as if the “Flood of ‘97” might be surpassed, at least for Fargo. I’m hoping it doesn’t end up happening, what happened to Grand Forks, but things are looking questionable.
I find the use of Twitter and Facebook an interesting new development in regards to mobilizing the sandbagging effort. Check out these Twitter profiles:

That’s quite an inductee you have there.

March 10, 2009

While sitting at the awards banquet tonight, the closing event of the Upper Midwest Aviation Symposium, I glanced at the program. It contained a list of all the past inductees into the North Dakota Aviation Hall of Fame.
My eye stopped at the bottom of the list for 1997.
Jack Daniels.
I snickered to myself, thinking of the [...]
