Actually, Idaho's motto is "Esto Perpetua".

Which, as near as I can tell, means "it seems to take forever to get through this place on the way to Oregon--the wagon is making me seasick, and the kids are all going nuts".

Best,

George

No wonder the men like Nevada... ::) ;;D

I kinda like New Hampshire's motto;  Go Away And Leave Us Alone. ;;D At least that's honest! [smiley=laugh.gif]

If Finland had one, I doubt that it would be "The Land of Hell"... ;) Although I bet some tourists are curious to see "Welcome to Hel" signs about the capital... ;;D
