My wife is from Minnesota. She lives up to many of the stereotypes of one hailing from the land of ten thousand lakes. Including saying the name of a children's game wrong.

I'm a big fan of living in South Dakota. However, I do not like living in South Dakota in January. But sometimes, you just have to laugh when you're stuck in the freezer.

Driving from Sioux Falls to the Black Hills is a hefty trip. It's pretty difficult to make it across the state without taking a pit stop.

The other day I was having a conversation about an old iconic building in Sioux Falls. With all of the changes over the years, I couldn't even remember where it was.

LOOK: Sioux Falls received over 2-1/2 inches of rain. The rain combined with some major snowmelt caused widespread flooding in and around the city.

Getting pulled over is stressful. Seeing the flashing lights in your rearview can cause a lot of anxiety. Tickets are expensive too. But they aren't the most expensive thing.

With so many choices of places to visit and spend money, aside from the help of hot or cold Google reviews, how are you supposed to find out what is going to be great and what is going to be lame?

People asked questions that are merely ignorant or uninformed, but some are quite stupid.

Every city has quirks. Sioux Falls is no different. There are particular things to this town that you don't necessarily see in other towns. Some make no sense and some make perfect sense.

Some jobs are really tough when it gets extremely hot outside. A friend texted me this morning that "construction doesn't stop for heat." So what do people in that industry, or others that must work outside do to stay cool?
