Only In North Dakota

One thing you can say about North Dakota is that the weather is never boring.

Thursday night in Minot we had a terrible ice storm. When I left home early Friday morning to travel over to the western part of the state to work the roads were so covered with ice that I could have skated down them. The next morning, though, I was leaving my hotel and drove past a group of high school girls in bikinis washing cars for some sort of fundraiser.

Nothing quite like going from temperatues below freezing to swimsuit temperates in the 60's overnight.

What? No pictures? No problem with copyright infringe there. Besides, I hear you got some sharp babes in ND!

We do have some fine-looking women here in ND, but I am not about to creep around taking pictures of scantily-clad high schoolers.

Oh, don’t "creep about", do it right out in the open. Remember, no one has any expectation to a right of privacy. We had this discussion a few months ago. Seems I lost, when I said you can not go around taking pictures of people. You and others said there is no right to privacy. You are in public, people can take your picture and do with it as they please.

It would be perfectly legal for me to take the pictures, but it isn’t a question of legality but rather one of taste.

Yeah, it’s all about taste. 

When I covered high school sports on the radio in Grand Forks, being the young attractive man that I am, the high school girls always wanted to be around me.  You know, the radio star thing (and good looks).  But, I always brought my camera to games to get some good action shots between calls.  What would inevitably happen would be my camera getting hijacked and pictures being taking and emails being left with me.  Needless to say, parents would give me the funny eye.  I eventually had to hide my camera when the groupies showed up.

And you say more people are moving into North Dakota than out?

Interesting, that’s all I’m saying.
