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.

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.

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.

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?

South Dakota is a state loaded with small towns. One of them is by far more charming than all of the rest.

If your boyfriend gets arrested and you are the one going to bail him out, and you are in a stolen car and don't have a driver's license, you should walk to jail. One woman did not.

On Monday a traffic stop escalated into an officer-involved shooting in Sioux Falls.

An inmate who authorities have said is "considered dangerous" is on the loose in South Dakota.
