I mean seriously I'm not sure if I have heard any of those three species before tonight yet since it's 65 degrees out today in my mind its normal so it just wrote it off as nothing new go about your business. Man living in a state that is about as cold as you will find in the lower 48 outside of the mountains yet also holds the distinction of coming in fifth of states record high temperatures after the four states that are from the desert Southwest it really screwes with a guy's perspective on what is normal! But damn does it give us the best seats in the house to see just how great spring can truly feel! Now Bismarck is great for Spring but I have to admit I definitely do miss being in Grand Forks on the first truly warm day of spring as the girls at UND brought the twins out for their first walk of the year.....damn now that was a spring moment no man wrote off as just another day!!!:;:cheers</blockquote>
