No re-work will be necessary on the hospital, as the site was properly secured when construction was temporarily stopped.
That steel has been exposed a long time. Any engineers on here care to weigh in?
Calculated risks are one thing, but given that the impetus for this construction was a near-catastrophic structural failure, one might wonder if it's worth the chance.
The article in the Herald was awfully light on tech...surely they would have asked the tough question and/or sought comment from an independent expert. 'Cause journalism, right? I mean, I can't be the only one thinking about it.

Was in Grand Forks over the weekend, hit up the Original Red Pepper, of course. Also saw the sign for the new Indian place when we stopped at Erbs & Gerbs. Now for a rant, Erbs & Gerbs, freaking Covid is over, open your dining area up. WTF, really? Finally, WHAT THE HELL! Tim Horton's closed??? I was looking forward to some TimBits and a coffee. Had to settle for Caribou/Einstein. Not happy about that. Tried to hit up Fat Albert's before we left town but it was not open yet. Too bad. Like their subs.
A good rule of thumb these days before you head out to eat is to have a Plan B and a Plan C. Lots of crazy hours and odd closings.

We have hosted a few national softball tournaments and I have ended up doing the announcing of the Championship games. I usually put together a "faux" list of inning sponsors like this.---The 4th inning is being brought to you by Gordy's Collision Center and Knitting Supply or the 5th inning is being brought to you by Sammy's Bait & Tackle & Tanning.
I think people should be creative and have fun like this. Life is way too short to be serious all the time.

an old car wash in EGF is a new coffee shop...by subway on h2...called "wired"...looks cool
Nice combo. I would have operated both, called it "Suds and Muds." Complete with hot capuccino foam baths, and spot-and-dairy-free creamer rinses. Not sure how popular the optional espresso undercarriage wash would have been, though.

Couple of observations from The Match:
1. Aaron Rodgers can putt.
2. I would definitely play that course, but would bring 2 dozen balls AND spring for a cart.
3. Made-for-TV celebrity golf matches are a blast and should happen more often.
4. Aaron Rodgers can putt.

Surprised it took this long.
Induced enough eye roll to get up and over the Columbia overpass.

He really showed them by <checks notes> getting a 6 month extension. Going to take the SBoHE a long time to recover from that one!
<checks salary> Six months of lame duck status, plus the freedom of getting out on one's own terms (even if just technically), is hardly a bad deal.

The comments to this Tweet are certainly interesting. Could the NCAA be any more tone deaf?

Anyone know if the NCAA requires sunscreen? Or is student-athlete health strictly a cherry-picking exercise?

At least NC State can take solace from the Jon Rahm debacle...Wolfpack guaranteed to take it all in '22.
These are the facts that form the backdrop of today's decision:
- teams have been competing for months, NCAA regionals/super-regionals for weeks, together in Omaha for > 1 week
- fans in stands at full capacity without masks or vaccines
- baseball is played outdoors, with players generally at great distance
- players (adults, at that) have had ample access to vaccines for months
Sports 2021 is shaping up to be not much better than "sports 2020".
Still no proven correlation between a positive test and illness or contagiousness. Yet, here we are again.

It’s a good spot for it
the city is growing south and when there is access there will be more building there
the city will build a road there, it looks like it’s plotted there already
I would take issue with this statement. If anything, it is merely filling in (mostly residential, at that) where it had already grown.
Virtually no commercial, retail, or dining, except for a couple of new banks along Columbia. And I don't know anyone that had been clamoring for two new banks. Hugo's has owned a large parcel at 47th & Washington forever, and chose to build downtown instead.
The part of me that enjoys zooming up and down I-29 thinks that this is a thinly veiled attempt for the nanny state to justify lowering interstate speed limits permanently in town. Which would be unnecessary. EXHIBIT A: see Fargo, where 55 is a total joke.
I think it would be better to develop the Merrifield interchange and dare the local economy to catch up. Because at present, the 32nd exit would be infinitely closer to most commercial destinations.

for covid?

Saw this in the news a while back. https://www.willistonherald.com/news/regional/north-dakota-universities-don-t-plan-on-requiring-covid-19-vaccine/article_ff4a2c6c-a116-11eb-863a-93dbd647d19b.html
QuoteJerry Rostad, vice chancellor for the North Dakota University System, said they are doing everything they can to encourage students and staff to get vaccinated.
“When you look at what the Centers for Disease Control and our public health officials are saying, vaccinations are important in developing herd immunity in the fight against COVID-19,” he said.
Rostad said the campuses are going to encourage everyone to get vaccinated, but that is the furthest the NDUS will be going.
“I want to be clear we are stopping short; we will not be doing any kind of vaccination mandate or requirements,” he said.

US Supreme Court rules in favor of athletes in NIL dispute:
College sports and amateurism unlikely to survive in todays climate. These justices are distancing themselves from their predecessors, who recognized a need to exempt the NCAA. You can keep elevating the P5s and form smaller, tighter super leagues where athletes get some measure of their economic worth. But how does the whole house of cards not fall?
Maybe the small handful of money making athletes at the small handful of money making schools will share with the rest to keep the rest of D1, all of D2/D3, and all of the non-revenue departments, teams, and schools afloat. You know, out of the goodness of their hearts.

I've seen people saying its a good move because no one knows that Dixie State is in Utah and aligns them more with schools in Utah. Then the one's, like me, that wondered why it was called Dixie State to begin with and think its an good move. Then you have the ones claiming "wokeness" and hate all change.
To honor its co-founders, Rect and Normous.

Rahm was asymptomatic. If only there was a way he could have avoided contact tracing and having to be subjected to mandatory testing.
And being coerced into taking a limited-authorization vaccine he wasn't personally prepared to take for the sole purpose of making other people feel better.

No words to express how stupid it is to DQ Rahm for a "positive" COVID test at Muirfield. Dude has a 6-shot lead heading into Sunday. Is he even sick? Has anyone proven any correlation between a "positive" test and illness or contagiousness? Can he not play a solo round, or wear a mask? Golf is played OUTDOORS, FFS.
A tainted tournament, and an asterisk due for the eventual runner-up. I mean, "winner."
We're no closer to normal, sadly.

Beautiful game-winning goal.
And there ought to be a meme.
Easily one of the best clutch players in recent memory. Seems like he's always on the ice - if not in the mix - for the game winners in OT.

The Fargo CBS affiliate just pulled the plug on the PGA Championship with a hole to play in the third round. To show their pathetic newscast. Idiots.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that any person who still cares enough to wear a mask voluntarily would choose not to work in a busy supermarket environment, handling items and currency that have been pawed and groped by rando members of the public standing inches away who now don't even need to wear masks.
Who are we even pretending to protect from whom at this point?

I see your points and if he was several years in I would agree. However with only a year or two into the job I would have liked to see some professionalism to offer the school more stability.
Loyalty, nobility, and professionalism aside, not many of us would (or could) turn the blind eye to 2X+ salary and a spot in the bigs.

I mean, comparing what each city had to deal with as an aftermath of the flood isn't really apple to apples.
Is it sacrilege to suggest that GF's survival of the flood was a Pyrrhic victory...that in celebrating the short-term recovery (itself a worthy achievement, and a tremendous source of civic and national pride), a mortal wound was ignored or overlooked?
