Williston Oil Boom - Man Camp's - And Opinions
(Preview)
I really don't understand the bad will in Williston. When the last Boom left, I was working for my husband, my husband was working in Nebraska and I made 6 dollars one month.

What's been your favorite thread so far on this message board?
(Preview)
Feel free to take some time and dig back as far as we've been able to save. My personal favorite was the Hockey Club debate. There was some very good intellectual debate in that thread. You guys?

Moose
(Preview)
Has anyone else run into Moose on the highways? 3 Moose were on the 4 lane by Berthold yesterday. We had to give them the right of way. Also, been seeing a couple of Mountain Lions off and on. This seems odd in a way to me.

Busing students to school

What are your thoughts on this matter? There seems to be a lot of (anonymous) contempt for the woman that brought it up at the school board meeting. Should we bus all students to school?

I hope spending $30,000 on this brand new vehicle will get me to my job faster because I fear I may go broke. Hope just left the building. No I didn't really just buy a new vehicle.

What is it about current Williston that is causing long time residents to consider moving out? I know that every time a town grows in size, some of the "old-timers" are going to complain about how much better things used to be, but I've talked with 3 different families in the past month that a...
