The dilemma so well illustrated in Timmothy's cartoon above is a very common one in a climate that has long Springs and Falls with wild swings in temperatures like we have in North Dakota.I'm sure that none of us wish to waste energy as we know it will hit us in the pocketbook on the next months ...

The series aired locally in Los Angeles for four years, from 1951 to 1955, then nationally for another 16 years on ABC from 1955 to 1971, followed by 11 years in first-run syndication fro...

Perhaps I should have titled this post "How Important Is Your Backyard To You?There is no correct answer to the question unless the "To You" is added. For many people (Renters, Condo Owners, Mobile Home owners) the yard has very little to no importance. To some of us an acre or two would be great...

Often even one day is to long for me to wear a pair of socks. Two days would be totally gross to me and any longer... just shoot me.

Much to my dismay the barn shaped one is ruled by blackbirds this year. The tube shaped one draws the sparrows, and the hummingbird feed has yet to...

I can't say that I've dropped a lightbulb more than once but I have had a case of butterfingers at other times. As a tinkerer that often works on engines I can tell you it's very frustrating when you drop tools into an engine you are working on.The same can be said of working with Real Estate. Th...

Keeping in mind that Timmothy writes these cartoons a month in advance it's amazing how often he is spot on when mentioning the weather. The last three days Minot has set record high temperatures each day. The normal highs for early May is in the 60's but we have been in the upper 90's. That bein...
