Those would be the females, which are becoming increasingly common
around here.
I don't know if they are still doing it, but several years back some
farmers were actually raising emus in the state.


Along that stretch I also saw my first mule deer. Much bigger than the
white tails that live around me in Illinois.

I once knew a person online who claimed to be from North Dakota ...

That was the movie "Fargo". He was an actor. ;^)

Somewhere along the I-94 in a fairly flat region there's a sign that
says "Continental Divide". Was it in ND or MN? It took me a while to
figure out that it led to the north coast not the east or west coasts.

That's here in North Dakota; in fact it isn't that far from me.
