This Texan and her family once lived for three and a half years in Williston ND. They were very happy years, in spite of the extreme cold. The people were so warm and friendly, that they made up for cold temps on the thermometer.

Aren’t they drilling like crazy out there?
I’ve heard that you can’t rent a room hardly anywhere, due to all the oil workers living in them.
Is this actually the case?

I live on Maui and it is already climbing to 80 degrees for today. Match that to the temp in N.Dakota today and I say, the difference in taxes is not that important to me. Aloha

While many states are confronting severe budget shortfalls and dragging economies, North Dakota has a different sort of problem. It's stuck deciding how best to deal with a budget surplus. Yes, a surplus. North Dakota's balance sheet is so strong it recently reduced individual income taxes and property taxes by a combined $400 million, and is debating further cuts. Yeah, but, do you know where that place is?

I read this last night and checked out craigslist for both ND and Bismarck, almost no jobs. It’s a joke.

Most of civilized Canada is warmer than ND. Move to ND...you’ll be cold 11 months out of the year.

Spent part of a summer in Jamestown. Drove my first tractor-trailer (underage, mind you) for Haybuster Mfg. Joe Anderson, RIP.
it was a nice place. But that was before gangs and the Internet and every nook and cranny of this once-great land going to hell in a flaming handbasket.

Fargo has a significant stained-glass industry, doesn’t it?
I hear it’s so cold they can cut glass with their nipples.

Why? Why is the government having more taxpayer money than it plans to spend a good thing?
Surplusses lead to either expanding spending projects, or “giving the money back” which gives everyone the same dollar amount, regardless of how much tax they paid, which is quite literally the re-distribution of wealth.

North Dakota is so flat that if you look straight ahead you can see the back of your head.
The state tree is the telephone pole.
The state bird is the mosquito.
What snows in September doesn't melt until the following April.

If you are considering a move to North Dakota, better be prepared for a brutal winter and never ending winds. Driving I-29 from the South Dakota border to Fargo you will also find what has to be the flattest place on earth...I swear you could make a topo map of that area with no more than two lines.
