Not figuratively, just literally. At every street intersection I'm assaulted by something I like to call "pickle gas" wafting from the storm drains. My coworker Kevin calls it "swamp gas". Either, way, it's like being punched in the face. I've tried figuring out what it is via Google and Wikipedia but no luck so far.

Now that I've gotten past my overly sensitive nose issues, here are some pictures to look at. Sorry that they are dim and blurry, my camera is horrible at taking lowlight pictures.

Here is a picture of one of many "Skyways" that connect all the buildings together:


An interesting building:


One building had big mounds of grass in front of it with little statues, very cool:




We went to the Mall of America... we had to. It was very dark and kind of deserted but maybe that's because it was a weeknight. Here is a ferris wheel:



Gotta love how the mall cops get Segways:



There was a soap store that had huge bars of soap (bigger than a loaf of bread) with things suspended inside:



One cool thing was that it would have cost $40 each way via taxi to get to the mall but it was only $1.75 each way via light rail.

That's all for now... I get to go home tomorrow... yay! After 5 days of intense data work I'm looking forward to some rest.
