Feel-Good Story in the Bakken -- North Dakota, USA

This is a great feel-good story.

I understand that there are folks who are frustrated by the Bakken boom. But there's just something about folks who handle adversity with a good attitude that impresses me.

In today's Williston Herald, above the fold, there is a photo of a young woman in her tiny green cabin, a photo taking up the whole upper half of the paper.

The young woman is a teacher in Grassy Butte, North Dakota, population 252, southeastern McKenzie County, perhaps some of the most remote country in the Dakotas. But incredibly beautiful.

I wonder how many folks upset about the traffic and noise in Williston would be willing to switch places with this teacher.

This is the link for tiny green cabins for anyone who might want to "practice."
