    Would it make you feel better if Floridians and maybe even ND had lost money in a Bahamian company such as FTX? The Legacy fund, as well as any other publicly owned fund, usually targets a very broad set of investments (some local, some regional, some within the U.S., and some international) to...

    Can you refresh my memory on that one?

    Emily Eckroth

    Whew, a little newer and we didn't make the top 10. Granted, they considered DC a state for purposes of the study, so we may sit at #11. Nonetheless, one really needs to dig into the metrics for determining how they did their rankings. But there is no way I would believe we routinely end up...

    Buying salvage titled vehicles?

    I bought a 2003 F150 from the Ford dealership in Fargo that had obviously been crashed. It only had 14k miles on it, mismatched tires, uncharged AC, and in need of an alignment. It didn't come with a salvage title, probably because it was a Canadian truck, but if you looked close enough you...

    Emily Eckroth

    Why are you putting this on "Bismarck people"? Emily Eckroth is a locally elected official who is going to be recalled (my prediction, anyway), but Baesler holds a state-wide seat. That's not on Bismarck people, that's on the entire state electorate, including Fargans.

    Homicide ? Alec Baldwin

    That may be the case. I really don't know.

    Homicide ? Alec Baldwin

    Wouldn't it be just wonderful if Alec gets found not guilty, and the Assistant Director does a short stint in the clink? The arrogant prick would probably use this in the future in his anti-gun propaganda as to how guns, and not people, kill people. I would have to imagine the attorneys are...

    HB 1175: Prohibiting posting of state school land

    Yes, but there aren't many that I've found over the years. But I can think of at least one that has some cropland. Not all of it, but maybe 60% is crop.

    HB 1377 - Party Hunting

    On a quick read, that sounds like a pretty noble thing to do. But once that door gets opened there will be a dollar value assigned to a gratis tag. You think there is friction growing between the land-owning community and the Average Joe hunter now? Things would escalate quickly as every owner...

    HB 1377 - Party Hunting

    People (mostly dads trying to be dads) at one time would help cast for their kids, especially out paddlefishing, NDGF took a dislike to that practice and made the rule that everyone has to cast and retrieve their own line. Might just be the biggest killjoy rule I've ever heard of in my life.

    Population Explosion of Canadian "Super Pigs" Could Spread Into the Northern U.S.

    Note: If a hairy pig shows up at my place, I am going to shoot it in self-defense or defense of my property. Their pointy little feet will damage my lawn.

    Population Explosion of Canadian "Super Pigs" Could Spread Into the Northern U.S.

    Yes, there was a period of time reports came from NW of Amidon about wild pigs. I often hunted the area there was supposed to have been pigs, but I never ran across them. Or even any obvious signs of wild pigs. If I remember right, I heard the NDGF killed off a herd of about 20 elsewhere in...

    Population Explosion of Canadian "Super Pigs" Could Spread Into the Northern U.S.

    It was legal at one time to shoot them on sight. Then they changed their minds on this because they thought it would encourage people to introduce them for their shooting pleasure.

    Population Explosion of Canadian "Super Pigs" Could Spread Into the Northern U.S.

    Hell, it's even illegal to shoot them nowadays.

    Homicide ? Alec Baldwin

    I am often of the opinion that accidents should not be criminal cases, but this one rises to the level of stupid to the point I am OK with him being charged. Probably the armorer as well, but the assistant director? What's the culpability here of the assistant director? Was he somehow also...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Can someone tell me something about the thingys? This is a simple question for me. Do we really want the legislature to use such an extreme measure to stamp out a policy otherwise left entrusted to hired professionals in the executive branch? I don't think I'd support something like this...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I believe that link clearly states the bait and feeding bans are being implemented by local ordinances, not the Wisconsin DNR.

    Ultimate Ahab?

    There's something wrong with these pics and I can't quite put my finger on it. Oh wait, there it is. What kind of real fisherman paints his damn nails?

    Maybe it's not that your hands are so large, it's just that the things they're holding are unusually petite. ...popcorn...

    Ultimate Ahab?

    Right! As a geologist, we were generally required to put something common in the frame of view for reference. A quarter, a pen, your hand, whatever was available so you had something to estimate actual size of the object being photographed. And then along came the Captain, and the world of...
