It’s official, our first destination on the world tour is no other than scenic Minnesota. That’s a bit crazy, idn’t it? Between the first freeze in September and the thaw in June, it is the brave few that dare enter the middle north of the country. (more…)
Black Friday is nigh, one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Stores, brick and mortar and online both, will have sales that seem too good to be true. A 96″ Television for $99!
