Hotter Yet

We got to Texas today. Actually we got to Texas right away, since Shreveport is right next to the Texas state line. We stopped at the first rest area to get a taste of having WiFi at a Rest Area. Coach Connect got the contract with the state of Texas DOT to install WiFi in all the rest areas. Pretty cool. We've always been able to pull into a rest area, raise our satellite dish, and check our email, but that takes about 15 minutes. Then we need to stow the dish again - another 5 minutes. With the WiFi, we pulled into the rest area, logged on to the WiFi system, checked and sent some email, and were outa there in 5 minutes. We cut our drive time a little short today in order to visit another Coach Connect park. It's interesting to see how places in the 'boonies' need to use satellite dishes for their communication needs. It's a beautiful place, get a load of this golf course: Do you notice that there's no one playing golf? I'll tell you why ... IT'S H O T Our poor air conditioning has been chugging away since we got here about 3pm. Only in the last hour (10pm) has it gotten below 80 inside (79). It's still 92 outside. About 7pm, when we were also using the microwave, we threw a breaker ... no electricity. Boy was I scared. Luckily, Jim just went outside and turned it back on and it worked. whew Jim is enjoying Monday night football ... rooting for Dallas. Hey! We 'live' in Texas now - they're our home team. You gotta be fickle if you live on the road.
