No Global Warming in ND This Year

Hanh mitauyapi / Hello my relatives. It's October 20 & the temperatures are once again 15 - 20 degrees F below average for this time of year. And it's wet. We need some warm n sunny & dry-er!
An elderly noted the other day that this year we only had 2 months with no snow somewhere in ND! June 5, Dickinson had over 2 inches of snow - that's 90 miles west of my camp.. and then that area got skunked again October 6th with about 5 inches! Duwahleh! Not fun!
In between, "summer" was mostly more like spring or early fall for temps; & when I read the corn leaves this year, it said last winter was not the only ugly winter in the current time - this one would be cold & wet again.
Friends of mine got their Bi-D (bi-directional tractor - a huge 8-tired 4WD monster) stuck a couple of times last winter, striving to keep their in-drive open! NO FUN!
I'm a fair-weather Indn & no apology! Besides, I have a raft of scars & they don't like this weather either. For those who don't know - scars try to contract from the time they first form until you go to the spirit world, & like many other things, wet weather makes them try harder. OUCH!
Someone from official-dumb said on the news recently that the economy isn't all that bad up here. Mitakuyapi - he lied. Or he's got a lot more mazaska / PteDhoWakan/money than sense, because this Indn has skinned by - more like bumped & dragged by - on maybe $7500 for the whole year to date. It has not been fun; it has been hairy & scary even for one who - like all 'eagle' people - lives dancing on the edge of the abyss. Worse, I'm hardly alone. News says ND leads the nation in # of families where both adults hold 2 or more jobs. : 8 0 !! Since that's more like 'the norm' up here than not, & it's nothing to be proud of, this Indn sez things are economically, spiritually, & emotionally rugged up here -- again. Or maybe that's "still".
If you're into praying, thank you for including me & all the others in this leaky canoe. "W" & his goons put us here, & now socialists seem determined to sink us. I keep hunting for that "happy medium", & I can't find it's scat or footprints, let alone evidence of its existence..
Thanks for the towel. Mitakuye oiasin / All, my relatives.
