Shoulda kept reading messages before I just replied to the first one I saw....
In response to Ellen's earlier question, I'm in the TV news business, not papers, but yes I did get a job at a tv station out here and so I up and moved cross country on about a week's notice. Gene saw me walk across the stage on a Monday and I was out of Maryland on that Friday morning, just a week after I accepted the job here. Diane, what were you in ND for? And I do agree that it is absolutely lovely out here. Wide open spaces, very rural, but just downright gorgeous. The Missouri River at night is spectacular...and for those of you who live in/around DC, you can actually see stars at night. If there's haze in the sky it means that there's a wildfire nearby, because there's no pollution. Though there was a week or so that I kept thinking I had discovered the middle of nowhere, only to continually be proven wrong. I think the best was an area I went to, in North Dakota, that had a South Dakota address because that was where the closest post office was. And about half the state still doesn't have cell phone service. But I am in love with Bismarck. --- In [email protected], Diane Lochner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Actually, you're right. > > I've spent a lot of time in various parts of North Dakota..and Minot is just a horrible, ugly town.
