Quick story about Wiis

Now, me and Scottie got our Wii on the end of our roadtrip last spring. (That reminds me, I'd written up almost the whole trip, but didn't finish it or make it public. I'll have to fix that.) Anyway, so we got our Wii, which had been a bitch to find. We went into stores in ID (starting point), NV, CA, OR, and UT. The closest I got to a Wii was seeing someone with one in their shopping bag (but there wasn't any left in the store). Finally when we were back in ID (and heading towards WY, because we were coming back here to Signal), we went into a Shopko for something and figured we'd ask electronics if there were any Wiis. We weren't expecting any to be there, but there were!! So we got our Wii, and all was shiny. Seriously, after driving around how many states for a few weeks, we only found a Wii when we were at a Shopko back where we started? lol

Where we are now, we need to drive 45 minutes to get to town. Basically the only place in town that would sell a Wii would be Kmart. Now we go and check out the games often enough, and we haven't ever seen any Wiis in stock. A funny thing happened though the weekend after New Years. We see a guy that works in Kmart regularly, and he's usually the guy that helps us with games. We've struck up a number of gaming conversations, and he's pretty cool. (Cool in the uber-geek way of course) But while we were there that day we were talking about something, and he was like 'Oh hey, we have a Wii up front...' We told him if we didn't already have our Wii, we would be all over that and we'd love him forever. lol I just thought it was cool. Really, if we didn't already have one, it would be so cool to have someone that worked there just tell you that there was a Wii available, without even having to ask. :D
