Synchronicity: North Dakota

North Dakota is a random state that you don't usually hear mentioned very often. Two people brought up North Dakota to me in two separate conversations last week. First, a co-worker who has been to 44 states in the country said, "Just because I've never been to North Dakota, that doesn't mean I want to go there."

Then I was at a conference with Dave Barry as a guest speaker and he spoke for several minutes about North Dakota. There's a long history with him and that state.
