ERIC BERGESON: Prairie prosperity?
Forbes publisher, Rich Karlgaard, is optimistic about the economic future of the heartland
Times are changing, and for the first time in 90 years, they might be changing in our favor. Instead of seeing small farm towns as places from which to escape, the world may soon see them as places that have a competitive advantage. Who knows, in another 50 years the prairie countryside may once again have more people above ground than below.

ERIC BERGESON: Dandelions
instead of pouring chemical on our lawns to eradicate every last dandelion, perhaps it is time we learned to love the weed. Once you learn to love a weed, of course, it ceases to be a weed. You don’t have to pull it, spray it or curse at it. If we return to a child-like love of dandelions, our lives would be a whole lot easier and safer. Who knows, dandelions may even make us rich!

ERIC BERGESON: The true route to happiness lies in having the right toys
After years of cruel and unusual delays, during the spring of fifth-grade I was finally granted the birthright of every country-born male-child: A Honda 50 motorbike.

ERIC BERGESON: I want peace and a quiet conscience, and I am willing to pay for it
State budget shortfalls in Minnesota have squeezed school districts, nursing homes and local governments in a vise. The higher-ups in St. Paul don’t have an easy job, but the officials at the bottom of the food chain have it worse.

ERIC BERGESON: Mating rituals
In spring, when love is in the air, it’s hard to get a good night’s sleep
When the mating instincts kick in, animals do truly strange things. Sandhill cranes bounce up and down as if they’re jumping on the bed. Swans bob their heads. Mockingbirds imitate as many other birds as possible. And that’s just birds.

ERIC BERGESON: Boyle is a triumph of the ordinary in a world of phonies
There’s something about Susan Boyle. The British spinster with the astonishing voice has taken the world by storm in a single week. No need to worry if her career will be a success. Boyle’s already brought tears to the eyes of tens of millions of people. What more could a karaoke singer ever want?

ERIC BERGESON: There are a lot of unsung heroes in this flood fight –– I’m not one of them
All the way home, I pushed my feet against the floorboard to press my back into the ergonomic seat in the Ranger, which eased the pain a bit. By three a.m., I was home in bed, waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in. Yes, there are a lot of unsung heroes in this flood fight –– but I’m not one of them. No, the big thanks for this one has to go to the kids.

ERIC BERGESON: The greatest dramas in the world aren’t on TV
After watching just a few animals in their taut life-and-death struggle, a drama that plays out a thousand ways big and small in every swamp, woods and field, I decided that the greatest dramas in the world aren’t on TV. Animals rule far more of the earth than humans, after all, and realizing our small place in the world is healthy for one’s perspective.

ERIC BERGESON: Large snowdrifts bring out the kid in us
What is so great about big drifts? If you don’t know, you have forgotten how to be a kid. Big snowdrifts allow kids to carve out tunnels and forts of amazing size –– or at least imagine doing so while riding past on the school bus.

ERIC BERGESON: Small towns can survive
So, what’s going to happen to our little prairie towns in these difficult economic times? For once, we rural folks may benefit from being so completely out of the loop.

ERIC BERGESON: Warmth, sunshine, spring: Now there’s a stimulus package we all can believe in!
“Ah, back to the friendly Midwest,” I thought as I stopped in Fargo for a few provisions before heading home after two months in the Southwest. But what a bunch of grumps! Nobody at the store smiled. Nobody chattered. The checkers were grumpy. The nice old ladies were crabby. The baggers were sullen.

ERIC BERGESON: Ford Ranger’s 250,000 milestone brings tears to his eyes
The magic moment happened as I crossed the Montana-North Dakota border last week on my way home from Arizona. I had looked forward to it for weeks. Slowly, the row of nines on the odometer turned over to zeros. Without fanfare, my Ford Ranger arrived at one-quarter million miles.

ERIC BERGESON: Leaving Las Vegas
Gambling is bad news –– almost as bad as the stock market, I’ve heard. But I decided that since I was passing through Las Vegas, I should probably check out the wonders of The Strip.

ERIC BERGESON: Country dogs are allowed to act like dogs. City dogs… not so much
A big dog should live on a farm. It should devote its life to chasing enemy cars that dare pass by on County Highway 54. After a successful chase, a big dog should trot for a triumphant quarter-mile back to the farm

ERIC BERGESON: Retirement villages are fun to visit, but he wouldn’t want to live there
I’ve gotten along well with older people all my life. Growing up in a small town, you have no choice. But when I get old myself, I think I might want live around people of all ages. I enjoy the vivacity of youth! Of course, only if they don’t make too much noise or stay up until all hours.
