Why Fall in South Dakota Is Confusing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fall-like weather is here, which means South Dakotans are about to enter that strange time of year when nobody knows what to wear. The morning might feel like fall. By afternoon, it could still feel like summer. And by evening, you're wondering why you didn't bring a jacket. It's the season of checking the forecast several times a day and still feel confused. You leave the house in jeans and a sweatshirt because it's chilly outside. By lunchtime it warms up and you're wishing that you put on sho
Why South Dakota Drivers Give Each Other a Little Wave (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are few things more "Midwestern" than waving at someone from behind the wheel, even when you're not entirely sure who they are. You might be driving through a small town, passing someone on a gravel road or maybe even heading down a quiet side street in Sioux Falls.

Read excerpt
Some homes have a room that looks like it belongs in a furniture catalog. The couch is perfect, the pillows have never been disturbed and the carpet shows no signs of human activity since the work crew installed it. It's the formal living room, and nobody is allowed in there, ever. At some point, someone decided the house needed a room for entertaining guests. The problem is, the room is off limits. Instead we use the kitchen, the dining room or the couch in the basement family room where everyo
How One Warm Day Can Fool the Entire Midwest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Sioux Falls, some of us complain about the heat all summer. Then September brings cooler 60-degree days, and the moment it hits 75 again, we're cheering like summer just made a comeback. The neighbor brings the patio furniture back out. Somebody else says we should grill. Before you know it, there's a conversation about going to the lake, even though half the people involved haven't been near a lake since July 4th weekend. In the middle of August, 75 degrees would have been considered a littl
