Wednesday, June 23 Fargo was filmed mostly around Minneapolis. The glacier that formed the land area that is North Dakota was the Wisonsin Glacier. The best flour made comes from North Dakota wheat, but it's called Minnesota Patent. Montana is even trying to claim the gumbo title. Their only joke is, well, judge for yourself:
"A South Dakotan, proud of his state's warmer climate, proposed that his state be named "Cota" and North Dakota be called "Over-Cota".
But North Dakotans are not a resentful bunch. While Seattle might fret about being considered this or that, Fargo is as proud as can be of Roger Marris. I'd rather be from Fargo, where you don't have to strangle 37 people or become a multibillionaire to get noticed. For me, the people of North Dakota define the meaning of hospitality and welcome to strangers. Thank you. Special thanks to the congregation of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.
Hey Robko,
I haven't read for a while and just had a glut of Rob the roadsnake. What a rollercoaster ride. Sounds so exhilarating. Also a vicarious thrill; part of me wishes I were with you and part is horrified at the thought. Above all, be careful.

Rob, let me know if you decide on the Hwy 35 side of the river on your way down. And if you do, stop for a little while in a small town called Maiden Rock, for me. It's inestimably gorgeous, and I fell in love with it in an eyeblink.
Keep in touch. I'll keep watching!
The pastry was delectable, btw.
Bis dann.

Rob,
Keep on truckin. This is a great blog. Now that the Tour de France is on, you will probably be even more popular with locals.
