Doug, that is why God invented a word called "vacation" as in leaving South Dakota (actually any state with a consistent wind chill running less than zero) for the tropics till things warm up.

PS Actually there is an even better phrase than "vacation", Doug. It is "tax deductible tropical vacation" as in a repeat Strategies for Success seminar January 18-22 in Tampa Bay, Florida. I'll even do the beer run this time instead of Big Billy!

The one Mikey found was obviously focused on luring the business sector to Spearfish. I'm sure they send a whole different flyer to the hoi polloi worker class moving there.

PS However, I am sure NONE of their brochures mention the average mean winter temperature for Spearfish!

That sucks Doug....for us, working in the other SD area is I guess a bit better! especially when my Chargers are kickin' butt!!!

 

[harryhides]

Spearfish and the surrounding parks and mountains/canyons are quite beautiful and would be great to ride a bike around in.

Business-wise, North Dakota currently has the lowest unemployment rate in the US and for a State with a population of 600k and a government surplus of 6 Billion is clearly run a whole lot better than most States.

Quit your whining Doug it could be a lot worse - trust me.

 

[Doug D]

all right I will quit whining then!! It is just pictures like Shorty's that I am jealous of right now!! As I speak there is a 6' drift on my front steps!!!! :roll:
