Boating by home south of Fargo ND

Flooding is reaching the critical stage as dykes and sandbags give way in parts of the down town. When you think Fargo think flat. The land has very little elevation and if the dykes break, the water can flow inland for miles. There is nothing to stop the water from flooding. Fargo is at the edge of the Great Plains which in Canada we call the Prairies. During the 1980’s and 1990’s I visited there quite often in my work with Great Plains Software. They are super people and our hearts out to them as they struggle with nature.

I hope that when federal dollars rush in to help the people of Fargo, as it should, some of those folks in the Midwest who were so snide about aid to Louisiana will remember their hatefulness with shame.
