Drove by the Skyline Mall about 2 PM Sunday . . the lot was full of highway patrol cars and various other county law enforcement vehicles. Saw lots on the road as well. From as far away as Le Suer . Was wondering what was going on. Was thinking. . . either a pancake breakfast or a Dunkin' Donuts had opened up in the mall.
Thing that really made me mad: Bomgaars was closed. . .
