Where did North Dakota go?

I think it was during the Los Angeles Olympics that I read a story about a guy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who had called the toll-free number to purchase tickets to some Olympic events.  The seats were available and everything went fine, through the giving of the credit card number — until the woman asked him for his mailing address. [I'll keep searching for that story . . .]

When he gave his mailing address in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the woman said, “I’m sorry, we can’t sell tickets outside the United States,” or words to that effect.

Despite the man’s pleas that New Mexico is part of the U.S., the woman refused to complete the sale.

Now, Google has lost North Dakota.
