It seems as though the Wild picked a great weekend to play a few out of town games. We're sitting on the cusp of what will likely be another (underwhelming) big snow event which is going to turn the roads around the Twin Cities into parking lots. Stay safe out there Wilderness. Better to be late and safe, and just remember that everyone else out there is trying to get out to finish up their Christmas shopping too.
Speaking of shopping, allow me to vent for a moment. I purchased a set of washing machine agitator dogs as recently my washing machine's agitator had stopped spinning correctly. The dogs themselves were cheap, but not easy to find in any of my local stores. My solution, order them online, have them delivered to the store to avoid shipping charges. Best price was of course Walmart, I should have known better.... Yesterday I showed up and stood in a line 5 people deep for 45 minutes to pick up a $2 part. The wait alone was worth the cost of shipping directly to my house. The guy behind the counter was seemingly worthless as he disappeared for 10 minutes at a time to find peoples orders.
It was Walmart, so I wasn't expecting exceptional service, but rather something resembling service at all. So frustrating. So with that, I leave you with this new video from OK GO. You've probably seen it making the rounds on social media. These guys nail it every time in the lost art of rock music videos. You may not like their music, I'm not a huge fan myself, but the videos are always visually stimulating. OK? GO!
