To summarize the situation as concisely as possible: businessman Charles Hoefer purchased the former Benchmark chip manufacturing facility in Dunseith, ND.

Minot- I don't know how to write a bill. There’s the old "Schoolhouse Rock" episode we all saw growing up where Mr. Bill sings to us about how he came to be and would become law. However, few people think about the intricate process of drafting legislation before it even reaches a committee. While that is a story for another day, I have spent the past few weeks studying some existing legislation and forming ideas of my own.

Note from Randy: In my books on happiness, I give considerable attention to the biblical teaching that God is happy. Why? Because only when we understand this can we believe that God wants us to be happy in Him. Scripture makes this statement about imitating Jesus: “Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked” (1 John 2:6). If Jesus walked around mostly miserable, we should be miserable too. If He was happy, we should be happy.

Several years ago, when I was still riding with Company M, U.S. Army 7th Cavalry memorial regiment, I became friends with one of the older members of the unit. We were both very interested in the frontier military, and each had a collection of artifacts and reproduction items. At one of our events he was talking to me about “slowing down a bit” and wondered if I was interested in a few old items that he had acquired.
