RYAN BAKKEN: Weighing in on waist war 
Last Thursday’s Herald carried a story about Col. Tim Bush, who was bounced from his leadership role because he didn’t meet the 39-inch waist limit. This seems odd. At 6-foot-1 and 227 pounds, Bush is hardly a tub of goo. Photographs reveal a double-chin — but not three or four of them.

RYAN BAKKEN: ‘Me-me-me’ generation fails to shock
Although a month has passed since the Farmington (Minn.) High School goalie scored a goal into his own net, I’m still unsure if his action was shocking.

RYAN BAKKEN: It takes a team to launch a satellite
When you look back on your college learning experience, do you mostly recall countless hours in theater seats in a lecture hall, trying not to nod off as a professor droned? Me, too.

RYAN BAKKEN: Immaturity never gets old
So, I’m on the couch, reading my Sunday Herald, when I spot a reference in a story to “mature adults.” Hmmm. Then I realize that “mature” is being used as a euphemism for “older.” Has “mature adult” become the new “senior citizen?” I hope not. I don’t want to be considered mature on any level.

RYAN BAKKEN: No congestion on this commute
Time is money. Gas is money, too. Those two axioms provide more evidence why life here in the sticks is better than life in the Twin Cities. Grand Forks’ only serious daily traffic congestion is on South Washington Street, DeMers Avenue and 32nd Avenue South during the morning and evening “rush hours.”

RYAN BAKKEN: Winter is all downhill from here
A winter crest doesn’t mean that winter weather ugliness is over. Even into April, there’s a chance of blizzards and temperatures colder than Cruella De Vil. But it does mean the worst could be over, at least mathematically.
