In just a few weeks, from a beautiful venue in central Bismarck, there will be seemingly endless angst and rancor, triviality and consequence, enterprise and enthusiasm. For the 69th time, the North Dakota Legislature will convene in regular session. There, our duly elected representatives will spend somewhere up to 80 days conducting business they see as good, important and necessary. Most of us won't care much about most of what they do. Some will care a little about a lot of it, a few will...
While on our way to Rapid City for Thanksgiving, we stopped at Hardees in Dickinson for a bite to eat before hitting those long stretches of highway in western South Dakota. It had been more than a year since we took the route that took us through Dickinson and south on N.D. Highway 22 to Reeder and beyond. But Hardees wasn’t the suprise that day in Dickinson, it was a bank across the street. Bank of the West had been operating in that location for some time. Little did we know that Bank of the...
I turned 63 on Dec. 4. Unlike many women of my vintage, birthdays are a very public celebration in my house. It’s always been that way. From the time I understood the concept of getting older, the 4th day of the last month has been a chance to revel in the joy of having made it safely through the birth canal – thank you momma – and into this amazing world. For youngsters with their hopes of presents and sugary delights, that’s a normal thing. But as we get older, we’re supposed to hate, or...

I have never been kissed under a sprig of mistletoe. However, mistletoe is prominently featured in Christmas songs such as Frank Sinatra's "Mistletoe and Holly," "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," and more recently Justin Bieber's "Mistletoe." The magical world of Harry Potter isn't safe from mistletoe as the main character and Cho Chang learned. Is there an interesting origin story for this kiss-inducing plant or is this just a Hallmark Channel plot device? Biologically, mistletoe is a less...

A dig at a site believed to have mammoth bones shows it is worthy of further excavation, according to the North Dakota Geological Survey. Mammoth bones were first discovered at the site in northwest North Dakota in 1988 during the construction of a garage. The North Dakota Geological Survey and state Historical Society returned to this site in September to confirm that mammoth bones are there. Senior Paleontologist Clint Boyd said the fossil dig near the garage aligns with what construction workers reported and that there are likely more bones...
Dear Savvy Senior, Can my kids inherit my debt after I die? I have taken on a lot of credit card debt over the past 10 years or so, and I’m worried that my son and daughter will get stuck with it when I die.

Debt After Death When you die, your estate – which consists of the stuff you own while you’re alive (property, investments a...
December 18, 2024 – The nature of the Christmas gift has changed over time. In the 19th Century novel "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge's clerk Bob Cratchit only wanted some extra coal and food for his family. Another famous story of Christmas gifts first appeared in December 1905, written by William Sidney Porter, better known as O. Henry. In "The Gift of the Magi" a young woman, Della, cuts and sells her long hair to purchase a Christmas gift for her husband, Jim – a c...
