There's gotta be an easier way

It's truly amazing at how difficult it is to access the internet. I know, the US is huge! And, installing Internet cafes wouldn't be cost effective... But come on! You'd think that at the least, major metropolitan cities would have one or two internet cafes. But, if you did, you'd think wrong. On this trip, we have located some places -Starbucks- that consistently offer Internet access, but you must have your own computer and they charge (about $2 - $4 an hour).

I'm currently writing you from the Clinton Presidential Center and Library. The building is gorgeous. It is located right beside the Arkansas river. A rustic railroad bridge adds distinct beauty to an already well manicured landscape. As one enters the lobby you're greeted, almost swarmed, by some of the most pleasant staff (most are volunteers) I've yet encountered on this trip. Walking the second floor of the library, you are previed to an exceptional overlook of the Arkansas river. The architects have truly outdone themselves with this building.

***There are four people to the left of me who are complaining about the library. They're apparently on some type of tour... one person just chimed up and said "This place, along with all library's are a waste of space". Another just said "The gas prices really aren't that bad. I live in Arlington, Texas, and gas prices really aren't that bad." And then another "it's an obligation for people in the service industry to be friendly. They must, must be friendly. I've never been in a place that little old ladies aren't friendly... You shouldn't be doing that kinda job, unless you're doin it right. Your job is to keep a smile on your face"****

We left Alabama several days ago. I think I mentioned we were meeting a sister of mine, to attend a friend of hers wedding in Eufaula. Anyway, the wedding we very enjoyable. And, the area of Eufaula, Alabama, very quaint (old Southern Plantation homes). We then drove back through Georgia, brought the Bride and Groom to the airport (they are now in Cabo) and then drove to Tennessee. Spent a bit of time in Memphis, and, as I mentioned above, are currently in Little Rock Arkansas, at the Clinton Center.


****The people are now complaining about their tour, and all the other people who are part of the group... Blah, blah, blah!***

I can't handle this complaining any longer. I'll write more at some other time.
