Mike reports from the Plaza America Premium Outlets (at the Mexican Border):

How are conditions out there, Mike?

Well, I don’t think they could be any worse. People are parked in the aisles 5 deep hoping for someone to leave, creating instant gridlock. Mall security has put up barriers so you can’t even get from parking lot to parking lot. I should have brought an audio book- I could have finished the whole thing. I also have to pee, increasing the misery.
