Here are a few of the things I learned on during our Grizwaldesque Thanksgiving road trip to North Dakota:

• Fargo is aptly named. The only thing it's close to is West Fargo (and Moorhead which, it turns out, is not aptly named).
  
  
• Stay away from the biscuits and gravy at the Fargo Holiday Inn. "Stick to your ribs" must have a unique colloquial meaning in North Dakota.
  
  
• The people of North Dakota are super nice, but they misspell and mispronounce "barbecue."
  
  
• You can make it from Fargo to Sioux Falls on a single tank of gas... just barely.
  
  
• It's only a matter of time before there's a Space Aliens Bar and Grill at either The Legends or the P&L District. But they damn well better spell "barbecue" correctly.
  
  
• I spent hours along a lonely highway looking for that bag of money, but I didn't find it so it must still be there somewhere.
