Oops...

Pardon for the late gambit. I spent much of Friday at the Mall of America. Weekday afternoons are the only time I can stand to shop there you see.

Over the past 3 years I honestly could not understand how we were in a recession when I would attempt to go to the MOA and could even find a parking space.

But I digress...

Quick review of my shopping experience.

Petters: great place to go for super cheap stuff. They basically but up merchandise of stores that go bankrupt. I got a great set of winter gloves (3M Thinsulate) for 3 bucks. One piece of advice though, do NOT buy anything edible there. I checked the giant bottles of cranberry juice for an expiration date...and was surprised to see that it was 01/03/04...only a couple weeks ago... usually it's several months past date.

Lids: if you want zero help finding a hat... go to Lids.

The crazy Packers cheese store: I forget the name...it's like Lybicki or something. At any rate, great free samples, and it has all of the Packer gear you could possibly need...but I don't hold that against them...yummy free cheese.

GAP: pretty standard...

Stampede Steakhouse (in Camp Snoopy): Food, above average..especially appetizers and burger... prime rib...have had better. Servers are nice, service leaves a lot to be desired...all of them were under 21, easily.

Driving home... take 77 north to 62... 494 is a bitch.
