Day 4 - Surprise, AZ

Today was the first of many in Arizona and turned out to be mostly a housekeeping day. Our first stop was Einstein Bagels for a pair of their best and once again we resisted Starbucks.

We will be staying in a friends home for up to two months, so there are few necessities we need to procure. Like food. I don't know if food costs are more here or the spirits drove up the costs, but we walked out of Fry's looking at each other and wondering out loud "what just happened". After stops at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond we headed home to put groceries away.

Next up was a stop at Wells Fargo for a roll of quarters to feed the car wash. After two plus days of driving, the front of the car had accumulated hundreds of bugs. Not the large yellow splats of summer, just the little black spots covering the bumper, grill and headlights. Four bucks worth of the high pressure sprayer and they were gone. After that the car was clean enough to run through a regular car wash.

After lunch a short drive and then back to the house for the afternoon. Barb sat outside and enjoyed the warm weather while eyeing the orange on the neighbor's tree. I think I've convinced her not to acquire it in an over the fence maneuver. I began going through the 426 possible questions from which 35 will be selected for the test to get a Technician Class Amateur Radio License.

Salad tonight along with a glass or two of King Estate Pinot Gris. Yes, they have Oregon wines here.

If you notice the postings are a day late it's because there isn't WiFi where we are staying. I know, how will I survive. Anyway, I'll find something tomorrow. Maybe Starbucks.
