VW Beetle Diecast Model Car

    When I went grocery shopping tonight, I decided to get more than just food. I guessed there was a display with diecast model cars, and these items were going for $6. I had to check closely on each shelf and eventually I saw a newer VW Beetle being available, at first I just found the older one. There were multiple colors, and I am pleased that I found a green one, my favorite color. As I recall, it was the color of the one I had driven as a rental. Now I feel less of a need to order anything online, as I like taking care of the shipping myself when finding it in a store.
   In the early evening I went to the Timberwolves basketball game with my date, they beat New Orleans 97-95. Before the game I got two souvenirs, a bumper sticker and a magnet. It's hard to say when my next Target Center event will be, though there are a variety of events at this venue. Besides the Wolves I've also seen the Shrine Circus, the Harlem Globetrotters, and some concerts there.
   We did two things in the afternoon before leaving for the game. One of these was watching a 'Little House' episode. It was one about the Ingalls family getting an inheritence. But in the end it amounted to being just Confederate currency, apparently worthless. We also tried watching the Big Ten Conference basketball tournament final, Wisconsin vs. Ohio State. But we were tired and fell alseep during it. I found out the Iowa Hawkeyes didn't make the NCAA tournament, but the lesser-known NIT. They open with a home game against Indiana State. I had attended the tournament seven straight years somewhere in the Midwest, but have no plans of doing so this year.
