About Me

"A large rectangular blank spot in the nation's mind." -- Journalist and North Dakota native Eric Sevareid on his home state. ... One thing that North Dakotans notice early in our lives: We are never on TV, or the news, or in the movies. Our state doesn't seem to exist outside of our immediate experience. ... This is more apparent as TV channels multiply and we are inundated by a flood of information. When some bit of North Dakota does penetrate the collective awareness of the country, through some celebrity, natural disaster or half-baked promotional campaign (just "Dakota"), we tend to overreact to the attention. "Look! There we are! Let's just try not to look like hicks." ... North Dakota is a self-conscious state.
