WTH do people do in North Dakota. Seriously.

Maybe because english is the official state language they have such a low unemployment rate.

Kenmare is the Goose Capital of North Dakota . Kenmare is the hunting haven of the north with an annual snow goose count being over 400,000 birds.

If you are in a covered wagon, it is legal to shoot an Indian on horseback.
