In the spirit of Starbuck density, I have 8 Walmart stores within 15 miles of my house, including this brand new one. And that doesn’t include the 8 Sam’s Club stores, either. (25 mile radius, since they don’t allow a smaller circle.)

Funniest Phone Call: My Mom
She called me during the weekend to ask why Randy Johnson was called “The Big Unit,” saying, “I don’t get it; why would somebody be nicknamed after the size of their penis? Why is this allowed? I’m not going to be able to watch him pitch now, I’m going to be frightened that something will fly out.” When I responded that it was just a nickname and probably had nothing to do with his locker room prowess, she said, “Well, why would you want a nickname that makes you sound like a penis? Who would do that to themselves?”
(You know it’s a good weekend when you get to hear your mom say the word “penis” two times without wanting to light yourself on fire.)

Genuis at MnDOT
According to this press release: MnDOT Press Release, the $400,000 cost of providing live, accurate traffic reports and continuous coverage during serve incidents, is not worth the cost.
They say that the motorist can buy satellite radio or use any other radio station’s traffic broadcast. The KBEM reports are generally current and accurate. The other reports I have heard are neither. I have been at the area that they report as a crash and the area is completely cleared.
Contact Kevin Gutknecht (651) 284-0515 with your concerns. I, for one, believe this is one of the many things that the state used to right, to help motorists get around the metro area.
Thanks for the 15 years of service KBEM FM. I’ll miss the acurate and timely reports.

Packers don’t; Vikings do…. And Randy is totally classless….
This meeting, the Vikings went to Lambeau Field and did what they couldn’t either home or road in the regular season. Get a win with 31 points.
After his second touchdown, Randy Moss gave the nation a show of what he’s all about. A very talented player with absolutely no class and no clue about the way a professional and adult should act. Unfortunately, Minnesota Vikings management feels that the correct way to deal with a star that can’t act professional, is to look the other way. Nice message for the kids out there. Act irresponsibly as long as you can play better than the next guy.
Vikings deserved the win. They took advantage of the Packers mistakes, and the Packers couldn’t get back from an early 17-0 deficit. Green Bay had a good season overall, but the defense needs a big overhaul. After their 1-4 start, they went 9-2. Minnesota won’t far quite as well next week more than likely. Even without TO, Philly won’t grant the Vikings the gifts that Green Bay did.
Oh well, go Vikes next week. Give the NFC North a good showing. Wait ’til next year….

Viking still don’t, but do anyway…
Minnesota lost yesterday, but still made the playoffs, along with St Louis. Carolina didn’t win, and they’re out. Minnesota travels to Green Bay on Sunday (3:35pm CST) to play the Packers for the third time this season. Teams that are 2-0 in regular season play, are 10-5 in the third game. Go Packers!!
