And did you know today’s news is about some Germans in North Dakota, a lifesaving Dakotan, and a custom casket? Read on.
My coworker’s family hosted a student abroad student from Spain last year, and it was such a positive experience for all of them – they even went as a family to stay with her family after it was over – that my coworker is now hosting the family’s son, too.

When North Dakota Nice becomes North Dakota Life: Four years ago, Dawn Degidio tried to kill herself by smoking crystal meth. She collapsed on the side of the road between Thompson and North Dakota, and an anonymous man saved her. (Grand Forks Herald)
We certainly can’t hide from death, so Hillsboro’s El Olsen decided to make the most of it by designing and building his own casket with his family’s help. Side note: he’s not sick or anything; he just wanted to make his own super-tricked-out coffin. Believe it or not, this story is pretty cute. (Hillsboro Banner)
