Best Buy Pandemonium

This morning started with us dragging ourselves out of bed at 2 am to go stand in line at the local Best Buy. When we got there about 2:30, we found approximately 100-200 people already in line. We decided whether or not to just go home and back to bed because I didn’t think we […]

Walmart to have 8 Secret Deals

Not to be outdone by Best Buy’s Seven Hour Specials, rumors suggest Walmart will release 8 Secret Deals. The first may be a RCA 52″ Widescreen Projection HDTV for $474.00.

Bismarck Growth

No matter what anyone says, Bismarck is growing in leaps and bounds. I know for sure because the city has added stoplights to four intersections just on my route to work and that is the city’s answer for growth: add stoplights and cops. What this means for the rest of us is there is more […]
