South Dakota
About South Dakota
South Dakota is a landlocked state in the Upper Midwest, North Central region of the United States. It is also part of the Great Plains. South Dakota is named after the Dakota Sioux tribe, which comprises a large portion of the population and has historically dominated the territory. South Dakota is the 17th-largest by area, the fifth-least populous, and the fifth-least densely populated of the 50 United States. Pierre is the state capital, and Sioux Falls, with a population of about 213,900, is the most populous city. The Missouri River bisects the state into two geographically and socially distinct halves colloquially known as "East River" and "West River". South Dakota is bordered by North Dakota to the north, Minnesota to the east, Iowa to the southeast, Nebraska to the south, Wyoming to the west, and Montana to the northwest.

In South Dakota, there is a place which was the original center of North America, which was done by drawing two lines, and it is called Snake Butt. They put an obelisk on it and named it the approximate centre of North America, and then in 1930 they changed their minds and decided it was in Rugby, North Dakota.

We don't know why there's jars on a plane coming this summer. Do you know the biggest hailstone? No. 2010. A hailstone larger than a bowling ball fell on Vivian during an exceptional hailstorm. Wow. Vivian is a town in South Dakota. Thank goodness. It's going to say it didn't even get a surname, James. It's really disrespectful. She's like Madonna. The hailstone obliterated her surname on her name tag.

Clearly just one moose involved in this whole state. Scared the moose out of one field and into another. This is the same moose that's been hanging out in the area north of southwestern Sioux Falls since Monday. Maybe there's a reason that nobody here has been to South Dakota is all I'm trying to say.
