Good morning Wilderness. Dan (WIMinnesotaWildFan) is enjoying some of the finest shoreline northern Wisconsin has to offer at the moment, and with that a less than desirable internet connection. Now besides the lack of wonderful interwebs, his view may very well be much better than today's picture which I snapped from the 24th floor at my sisters apartment in downtown St. Paul.It's okay to be a little jealous, I certainly am. Not to fret though, a little bonus Noogie coming your way this morning!
It was a crazier day than many of us anticipated, but from here on out I'm going to let the links do the talking now.
