We were talking about North Dakota's oil boom the other day:

Long article that I think will run in the Sunday magazine this week. Despite the source, the first couple of pages looked fairly balanced, but not sure how the whole article turns out.

Thanks for sharing Mark .. I thought the reporter had a nice article. Along with the push for oil, he provided some details on the human sacrifice and also on the huge though minimum press oil leaks.
Two years ago I was home grabbin' a hot carmal roll .. sticky bun to many I imagine .. when the bus came in across the street .. this attractive petit but curvy gal nade her way across Hwy 3 in sunglasses and a Victoria Secret pajamma bottom -- wasn't to much of a feat .. though 2 lane maybe 30 cars an hour and only 1 lane from Canada to Rugby 43 miles ( it's only 2 lanes in a town of last 1/2 mile to where it meets hwy 2 ) - anyway, a great presence - definitely not shy when she easily got the attention of a waitress in a room to order a fast carry out before the bus left ....... and this ole single farmer struck up a conversation with her from his booth ( we're talking a small cafe folks .. lol ) and she says she's headed to Williston .. Williston .. what cha going to do there .. all the guys have left town and are working those oil well jobs ....... lol .. she just smiled and looked over at me when I couldn't help but chuckle as I was payin' my bill and she said Oh, she's gonna live with a GF and look for something in the area ............
And that part about those men looking for food and drink in the gas station with their sleep deprived looks / eyes ........ I've heard that from many as they run endless hours for the money and then become a statistic on the roads as mentioned ..
Any way .. Thanks for the link !!

Things could change, but not sure at this point. If not ISAP, I will see everyone at OSH13 for sure.
