The View From Wisconsin

On my way to work the other night, I had a smart car pull up next to me at a stoplight. I noticed our front bumpers were even with each other, so I turned to peek at the car as it sat next to me.

I was looking at the car's back bumper. The smart barely comes up to my back door.

Now, I knew how small these things were, but this just blew me away.

Anyways - on to other things:

• I'm wondering when Wal-Mart here in Pewaukee will finally break out the Upper Deck Victory hockey cards for 2008-09. On my last visit to the store, they were nowhere in sight.
  
• First duplicate hockey card of the year: Chris Pronger. There's no explanation for something like that, IMNSHO.
  
• I'm really wrestling with renewing my AAA membership. It technically expired back on August 1st, but I've pretty much got the entire month to renew. I'm just iffy on whether or not I'd get my money's worth from it.
• Rumor has it that the Olympic Village in Beijing has run out of condoms for the athletes there for the games, and that they've needed to truck in more. Says something about the link between hormones and athletic performance, doesn't it?
