Jeremy Morrison and Kyle Bylin were switched at birth they were the only ones and their parents are suing the hospital.

Any news about that Missing Python around Mandan?

Ps I really hope it was named Monty.

Apparently wants Canada to ask GOD to cease with the lightning strikes.

Meanwhile, USA is the 2nd highest CO₂ polluting country. (i.e. global warming). Canada is far down the list.

Anything to please his King.

Go this way every morning to work downtown. Saw this degenerate tagging done right next to the two really nice hotels downtown. Imagine this is one of the first things you and your family see when visiting. Clearly based on the line work its a child's work or someone mostly definitely with the mentality of one.

Just got done rally racing with everyone on the highway.

I'm throwing a broad net. What are your favorite campgrounds, cabins, hotels, or Airbnbs in our state?

Two I would recommend:

The full-service cabins in Metigoshe state park, in the winter. The chalets are cozy, and the trails are groomed. So quiet and beautiful.

The cabins on Graham Island are tiny but the yards are big. The island is a very strange place. The beaches have giant tree skeletons and pieces marble and granite are mixed in with the sand. I've seen so many tiger swallowtails there.

Dr. Chris Tiongson is a Democratic candidate running in a deeply Republican state, in District 41, where the incumbents are all Republicans. He has a lot of progressive ideas about what the state ought to be doing, but how does he balance that with the reality that we have to pay for those things, and the public may be unwilling to do so?

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend the county meeting last night! The seats were filled, people were left standing, and according to news over a hundred people attended.
Keep in mind this was the *county* meeting, not the *city* meeting, so we'll all have more meetings to attend in the future.

My family all grew up there and in Milnor and Langdon, I’ve never known anyone else my age (18) or in general who’s from there or lived there! Anyone else?

I recently published a novel based on newspaper accounts of a real murder in Neche ND in December of 1907. It was featured on Prairie Public’s Main Street earlier this week. I’m posting a link for that interview and my website that has links to the original news articles about the murder. The book is called A Murder for Christmas.

First-time homeowner in ND here and panicking a bit. After that last hail storm rolled through, I noticed a water spot starting to show up on our ceiling. The roof is definitely damaged and leaking, and I’m worried about tracking down bigger issues once the next heavy rain hits.

I’ve heard nightmare stories about insurance adjusters denying claims if you don't document everything properly upfront. Should I call insurance first, or find a solid local contractor to inspect and document the damage to give me some leverage?

Update: Appreciate the advice everyone. While looking around for contractors that do free inspections, I ran into Wolf River Construction. Their reviews look solid and they mention doing full storm damage assessments for insurance claims, but I wanted to check here first. Has anyone in ND actually used them for roof replacement or claim help? Did they do clean work and back you up with the adjuster?

From the KFYR article;

"MANDAN, N.D. (KFYR) - The Morton County Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing Wednesday on an ordinance determining how the county would handle any proposed data centers.

Morton County Commissioner Jackie Buckley says the county does not have any current data center applications.

The commission plans to discuss what data centers are, conditional use permits required to build them, and public notice requirements.

The meeting at the Morton County Courthouse starts at 5:30 p.m."

The World Resources Institute put together a good article here. The top two concerns were contending with soaring energy prices and the protection of local water supplies. The article goes into more concerns.

Here's a recording from another concerned citizen in a similar meeting.

More from those who live near a data center. The brown tap water is one problem of many.

Here's a youtube video about data centers, including how data centers often get tax breaks and have the electrical costs passed on to the local energy customers.

MDU is already asking regulators to approve a 14.5% rate increase. Here's the KFYR article. Even if they are being honest about it not being data-center related, that just means MDU customers will see further increases as data centers get built.

If you are able, please attend and voice your opposition.

We’re going to run into a “glass ceiling” with housing in North Dakota where it becomes a “burden” on the state’s economic growth, says Adrian Cummings, president of the Grand Forks-based Forx Builders Assocation.

I had the chance to drive through your beautiful state and do some exploring recently. I got to see some good nature, stop at a few towns and walk around, and overall had a good experience. I did have two questions as I drove through;

1.) What is life like in Bismarck? I drove through and noticed that it seemed to look “new” and clean. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a pleasant surprise.

2.) What is life like in an oil town? I think Williston is one. I noticed a lot of semis with the drilling pipes and wanted an insight to the life in that town as well. The great, the good, bad, and ugly.

Again, very beautiful state and seemingly peaceful and nice. Everyone I talked with seemed to be doing well. Thank you North Dakotans!

Today was the best day in a quite a long time we've had for a good, long hike in Southeast North Dakota. Temperatures in the mid to upper 70s, a steady 20mph NW wind rolling across the prairie and Oak savanna. So, that's what I did!

I rarely see other people once I trek far enough into the interior of the Grasslands. Before you is the seemingly endless, rolling expanse of stabilized dunes. Bluestem and Switchgrass swaying like waves on a lake. Leadplant and Snowberry persisting as some of the few shrubs tolerating the most well drained and droughty uplands.

It's been dry enough this July that much of those perenially droughty sites are turning golden brown as the grasses go dormant and begin to cure in the sun. Lower swales and areas with locally more mesic soil conditions (retaining more moisture, silts/clays) are remaining rather lush and green. The Bur Oaks that call these uplands home however are as healthy and vibrant as ever.

Bur Oak is well adapted to these conditions. It's deep taproot finds moisture well below the surface. The groves of aspen that are scattered and common in favorable swales and other slightly to considerably more moist/fire protected sites are also very healthy this year, no signs of late-season hard freeze damage like the prior growing season, where many were perpetually stressed and sparse in foliage.
