Art walks aren’t just for humans!

Michael, 49
The “Village Blacksmith.” Former “Village Drunken Fighting Idiot”
Been in Montana for 22 years

What do you like about living in Montana?
The people. If you were to follow me around town you’d find the most solid people.

Are you happy?
Excellently, yes. I am living my dream.

What does happiness mean to you?
“It means being able to get up in the morning man, and make a scientific wild ass guess: Either go fishing or go to work. Go hunting, or go help your buddy work on something man. You don't have to ask for a woman's permission. You don't have to ask your boss's permission. Freedom. Yeah, man. You follow your own thing.

The next one is what's your biggest regret?
“My daughter, man. I chose an oil rig over her. She lives right in the valley, she's a senior. I'd come back, I'd work a month on and get two weeks off. So, I’d come back here and I’d see her for a weekend and then I was sitting here. I mean, you get two weeks off. Come back to Livingston, Montana, you got a stack full of cash like that after being on an oil rig. That's a recipe for disaster! Haha”

Do you think people are inherently good or bad?
“Good. Because every man has the ability to choose good or evil. If I was to tell you, ‘hey, man, I want you to go over to that truck, take any tool you want, smash that window, and take whatever you want. Inherently, does that bring up some red flags? And why am I being told to do that? No, I can't do that. We can't do that. The world is as simple as that.”

What do you wish you had more of?
“Time. Like I said, I was just turning 49, and I remember getting late in high school like it was yesterday, and I’m like ‘what the f**k happened’ you know what I mean? A blink of an eye brother. I heard it from a poet warrior: ‘Brief is this fleeting life.’ Pretty heavy man! Something you’d expect Yoda to say!”

Just a girl in the snow

04/25/2023

Marlene, 78
Retired farm worker
Born and raised in North Dakota

What do you love about North Dakota?
“I like the people. People are very friendly, very helpful, and very considerate. They're right there to help you out if you're ever in trouble. I guess because I was raised here, I just enjoy the country. I like the seasons and I don't mind winters.”

Are you happy?
“I am happy. I've had a good life. I've had hard times, but I've had a good life.”

What is happiness to you?
“I don’t know. Just day-to-day I feel like I’m happy, I'm never sad.”

What's your biggest regret?
“I can’t really think of any regrets. I guess I might regret getting married so young, but back then everybody got married young. It is what it is.”

Do you think people are inherently good or bad and why?
“I think most people are good, I really do. You're gonna get a few bad ones in the bunch, but most people are pretty good. Anyone that I've ever run into, and no matter where you're at, whether you're at home, in your own community, or you're elsewhere. I mean we went to Nashville, and in the airports, wherever. People were good! Most people are good.”

What do you wish you had more of?
“I don't need more of anything really.”

What do you wish you had less off?
“I can’t really think of anything there either. When I was younger, that probably wasn't so true. You were overworked, you were tired. It changes a lot with age. I’m pretty content.”

This girl LOVES her snow

Never met a dog who could eye roll this hard… Not a hat gal clearly.

Larry, 66
Retired, former drywall installer.
Born and raised in Sioux Falls

What do you like about South Dakota?
“We don't have any big cities, we didn't used to have crime until everybody decided to move here. About 2000 people a year. Building houses like crazy. We’re supposed to have seasons, not 8 months of winter like it seems like recently. It’s pretty in the fall and we go camping a lot.”

Are you happy?
“Oh pretty much. Everybody has their bad days. Some people say ‘I’m the happiest person in the world about everything’ and I think ‘no you’re not’. There’s always something. Right now I’m not happy cuz my boat don’t start. But in general I’m happy since I retired. I’m not chasing after stuff.”

What does happiness mean to you?
“I don’t know. We got a house and a boat. I’ve been married for 45 years which is pretty rare. I think it’s being able to do what I want.”

What's your biggest regret?
“I didn't put enough money away when I was younger. I did some but I could have done a lot more. Technically I was making more back in ‘75 when you compare the income to the pricing. In 75 when I bought my house I had to come up with $1,800 dollars for my down payment.”

Do you think people are inherently good or bad?
“Well, we got quite a few good ones, and then we got a real frickin’ di****ad over in Russia. But I think everybody’s good. I think that it’s very seldom a person that has a total bad attitude about everything. If he does? Get rid of him.”

What do you wish you had more of?
“More money to be able to just take off and go places on time. Be nice to have a motor home and venture around the world.”

What do you wish you had less of?
“Little problem things. You know, daily life headaches.”

Where do you hope the world will be in 10 years?
“The first part I wish everybody would stop fightin’ in the world but that part ain't gonna ever happen because there’s been countries fighting for over 2000 years. But leave the US out of it.”

What’s more beautiful- Mo or the falls?

04/04/2023

Nicole, 43
Accountant for a security company
Born and raised in Nebraska

What do you like about Nebraska?
“I love that there are four seasons here. Like we literally get to experience everything with the season changes.”

Are you happy?
“In general, yes. Because of my daughter. When she was handed to me, it was like life had meaning finally. Time stopped and I was responsible for this tiny human life and so she kind of taught me about what living was like, you know? They say that you're teaching them but ultimately, it's the other way around.”

What is happiness to you?
“Watching her smile, watching that sparkle in her eyes, and being the person that gets to get to witness this little human being be amazing every day of her life. You know, it's pretty awesome.”

What's your biggest regret?
“Not having kids sooner. I didn't have her til’ I was 38 and if I would have known that that's what it was like I would have had them as soon as I could! Also probably not taking life more simply. You know, everything's so serious: it's just too much of ‘I've got to pay these bills’ and ‘I've got to get this done’ and ‘I need to work for this money.’ And you know, you're paying for stuff with your time, not your money. It's basically that lesson I wish I had learned earlier in life.”

Do you think that people are inherently good or bad and why?
“I think that things are maybe ingrained in teaching by society and by what parenting people have. But I don't think generally that people are good or bad either way. I think everybody has a tendency on both sides. Kind of like either/or. You could be having a crap day and still help an old lady across the street. Or you could kick her down. Do you know what I mean? It's either way, it's just it's society and basically your background.”

What do you wish you had more of?
“Like, I don't think I want for anything more. Other than maybe time with my kid or my dad, because he passed when I was 22. So time with loved ones, I guess.”

Momo, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.

03/20/2023

Kramer, 33
Liquor store clerk and astrology enthusiast
Lived in Kansas for 11 years

What do you like about Wichita/Kansas?
“I like how eclectic all the scenes are. I like how a lot of art is actually pushed and propelled. Because I like how everybody is able to express themselves here without much judgment, as far as anywhere else that I've ever been before. So, I'm really happy about how this is. A lot of people like to complain about Wichita and I'll say how there's not a lot to do and I don't think that they look hard enough to be honest.”

Are you happy?
“I go through phases of being happy. Generally speaking, I am depressive and I try to work on that. But all around, I go for things that make me happy. I don't allow myself to come in between seeking my happiness because I need that in order to survive honestly.”

What is happiness to you?
“Honestly, the moment where I get so involved in something that I really don't think about my problems.”

What's your biggest regret?
“Probably not treating my family better.”

Do you think people are inherently good or bad? And why?
“That's a really good question. I still battle with that. I definitely don't know. I think it just depends on the moment and what opportunities are given from the beginning, middle and ending.”

What do you wish you had more of?
“I don't know, like, as much as I’m unhappy in a lot of regards, I'm actually pretty content. I guess I wish I had more focus. I wish I was able to focus on things that didn't interest me as much as I want them to.”

What do you wish you had less off?
“Distractions.”
