We shop for groceries at:
- Costco (most of the calories comes from there, but selection is limited) - beef, lamb, chicken, fish, shrimp, cheeses; occasionally bread, greens, vegetables, these tend to be hit and miss there. Costco does not carry organic 3% milk AFAIK.
- Aldi's - chocolate, occasionally frozen salmon.
- Organic Valley - beef tongue, beef tails, molasses.
- Chinese/Thai/oriental supermarket - salmon heads, duck, bean sprouts, curry paste, basil.
- Target and Byerly's - milk, sushi (I know, I know)
- Farmer's market in season - potatoes, onions, beets, cabbage, carrots.
- Cub - when everything else is closed. It is also within walking distance.

I hate merging onto the freeway. Minnesotans are terrible at merging and accommodating merges and the lanes seem designed to cause accidents not prevent them. Like instead of having the Merge sign ahead it's *right at the point where the lane ends?* WTF?

I despise the MN winter cloud cover. Some weeks it could be cloudy for 3-4 days, 6 hours of sun and then more clouds. C-D says 40% winter clouds (not partly cloudy but cloudy days).

This! Zipper merge. To add what about the clueless driver puttering along in the left lane impeding the flow of faster traffic.

Yes and yes. Add the general confusion about how to handle an intersection with four-way stop. But the left lane issue is at the top of the list.

There's certain cultures of people I can't stand that I won't go into here. They aren't from this country, and, well....

What do I love most about it? The nightlife (concerts, clubs, pro sports teams).
