Edwardsville, IL
Yesterday, we took a ride to Edwardsville, about an hour away from "home". We'd driven through here on the way back from St. Louis on Saturday, and knew that there would be an opportunity to check out a dog groomer and grab some 'net time. We made an appointment for today to have the pups groomed at the local PetsMart (expensive but at least generally consistent around the country) as they haven't had a trim since we were in Alabama. We spied a Starbucks and I was able to download a few days worth of email.
Today, we were up early (well, early for us anyway) and on the road to drop off the pups for 10:00. They'll be at least three hours at the "beauty parlor", so we took the opportunity to have breakfast at Denny's and are now "camped out" at Borders. Geri's shopping and I'm blogging, so we're both happy. At least I'm up to date for now, and won't have to do much online (I can compose blog updates offline and have pictures ready to upload) for the rest of the week.
Plans for the rest of the week aren't locked in yet. I'm thinking I'd like to go back to the Confluence Tower on a sunny day, and we'll probably make a day trip up the Great River Road toward Hannibal, MO. It's supposed to be hot for the next couple of days (92° today, 99° tomorrow, 97° Wednesday, 92° Thursday - ouch!) with typical humidity, so we'll be looking to spend some time indoors no matter what.
Well, that's it for now...

Your not using your Hughes system?
Bob, no Hughes from under these thick trees. No cell service to speak of either. Stinks!
