    North Dakota mysteries

    You would really like the Ultimate Evil book by Maury Terry. Good Lord, it's been over 30 years since I read the book and I still remember the name of the author without even having to think about it. GREAT read...

    North Dakota mysteries

    The Ultimate Evil is the actual name of the book. I read it when I was a teenager and it still sticks in my mind on a regular basis. The murder of that young lady at Stanford was horrific. The whole Son of Sam thing has a lot of ND connections. Some of the Carr family were at the Minot AFB...

    Price of land just keeps going

    This was decent land for the area, but that area is western Mountrail.

    North Dakota mysteries

    Probably because I was living in GF at the time I never heard of this crime, but ran across this from a Bismarck double murder in 1998. https://tubitv.com/movies/692509/the-house-on-sweet-and-seventh This is so methed up it's hard to wrap my mind around...

    Price of land just keeps going

    Yep, saw the same on a section of land near our land recently. One farmer knowingly overpaid for it. All because he wanted that piece of land to spite another landowner in the area. Glad he had the cash to do it because I prefer him as a neighbor over the other fella.

    Price of land just keeps going

    Yep, I have looked at buying land often over the past XX years. I'd really prefer it to be cash flow neutral, but what I've discovered is that I'd need to put 50% down to make the bank payment roughly equal to the cash rent I could get on something with hunting potential.

    This is being done to specifically help salmon populations.

    Pembina river and sturgeon

    I only caught one, but there were a number of lake sturgeon caught in the Grand Forks reach of the Red in the late 90s.

    Snow forcasted

    Depends on which model one looks at. The GFS has a solid chance for snow next week across a pretty good chunk of the state. Especially the central part of the state. The ECMWF (European) is much drier and somewhat warmer. It's that time of the year, but on this one the forecast out to 10...

    Your neighbors water

    It doesn't work that way when you start transferring water in today's age from one watershed to another. Americans generally view DL as a non-contributing area of the Sheyenne River basin. The Canadians and MN basically think of it as a separate watershed that should remain as isolated from...

    Your neighbors water

    Not all water treatment plants have the same design criteria even though they have roughly the same end goal for water quality. Since the Canadians and Minnetuckians have proven their willingness to sue ND and the federal government, this project would get stuck in the courts and environmental...

    Your neighbors water

    One would be talking about flow of around a few thousand CFS. Does RO work? Absolutely, but a system setup to handle this would be in the billions of dollars in construction + O&M for the duration of the saline water. Probably 10s of billions.

    Your neighbors water

    Eventually, yes. But how many years that would take is something I would guess is in the range of 10, or more. That's an awful long time to not have potable water downstream of Tolna Coulee.

    Your neighbors water

    The problem with the Tolna coulee overflow is that the water would be coming from Stump Lake. Nobody in Valley City, Farhole, GF, or ???? wants water that saline as a drinking water source.

    Euthanize a pet...

    I don't think suffocation is as humane as one might think. When you run low on oxygen, nothing else seems to matter.

    Harvest is STILL here guys...

    I am going to hazard a guess that there are width restrictions on gravel roads without an over-width permit. Can't we all just agree that if the law is followed by all, nobody would have a reason to bitch?

    Anterior ankle pain

    Lunk, I'd suggest looking up plantar fasciitus if I were you. I had it once, I was lucky and it self-resolved. It's annoying as hell while you have it though.

    financial advisor

    p.s. Yes, you will have tax deductions for those losses. For that I suggest you talk with your tax preparer.

    financial advisor

    As someone else mentioned, I am pretty disappointed in your advisor's decision to gamble with your money like that. It should have went into some form of a mutual fund or REIT which would have been a much safer and eventually more successful investment for you.

    The American Buffalo

    While your last statement is probably true, one need not be a climate expert to recognize that things are not the same today as they were 30, 50 or 70 years ago. Any and every hunter and angler has noticed the change in ND. Our growing season is now 10+ days longer than it was in the early...
