In my neck of the woods, the city of Worcester MA got tired of hosting hockey games and agrarian contests simultaneously, so they let the bovines have the run of the rink.

We got a great reminder of the cluster effing that happens when you schedule a Hurricanes game during the NC state fair. It was nearly a perfect day yesterday, so a bazillion people decided to hit the fair which is right next to the hockey arena. Apparently, the people working the parking lot for the arena let just anyone park there. Oof. I heard from quite a few people that were trying to make it to the game got frustrated by the traffic and the lack of parking and just hit some local watering hole to watch the game instead. I was at the fair yesterday and it was friggin insane. It only served to remind me to go on a weekday instead of a weekend. Oof again.
