I promise. This is the last winter photograph I plan to share for a while- at least until October. This photo, selected from the Eddy County Museum archives, is titled "Cold Lunch" and was taken in the early 20th century. (I've been trying to date that coffee can, but with no such luck.) The three women pictured here are not known. If you know happen to recognize them, I'd love to know more! Regardless of their names, what strikes me most about this photo (and all the snow pictures I've shared...

Their offices have been closed since March 17. How long they will be closed is un...
As we live through this COVID-19 pandemic, stories about good things are plentiful. I am seeing them everywhere… on the news, in the papers and in social media. This pandemic has united the world against one common foe. Video clips from Brazil showed residents of high-rise apartments joining together, despite the challenges of social distancing, to sing together and the sweet sound of their song swelled across the entire city. Israelis also joined to make noise from their balconies, letting t...

State Agencies Promote Benefits of Outdoor Recreation While the upcoming weekend weather doesn't necessarily remind us of spring, warmer weather is just around the corner. As the days get longer and temperatures rise, people naturally want to head outdoors. But this year it's not business as usual. North Dakota's outdoors and its health benefits, including stress reduction, lower blood pressure, better sleep, and relief from anxiety, stress, and depression, are likely more important than ever.

A colleague of mine, reacting to the recent and sudden halt to everything economic, expressed concern about business and the state of the world in general. The advertising dollars dried up almost instantaneously in the front half of the month. Doors were closed and shops were dark as if it was some sort of black holiday on main street. People's priorities had suddenly shifted from spend-spend-spend to survival. While I'm no economist and can't predict which letter of the alphabet comes next in...

Spring walleyes - especially those river fish that offer up some of the season's first opportunities as ice takes its time peeling off area lakes - are a predictable lot insofar as the locations they use when staging for the spawn. In those holes and riffles below obstructions, shallows or mating areas are where they can be found getting ready for water temperature, day length and related seasonal factors to combine in an ideal scenario and trigger the species' regular spring rituals. Targeting...
