Whew it's hot here, over 90 degrees today

Today we waited for the WiFi guy to help us here in the park, yesterday he sold us a WiFi antenna (adaptor) which worked yesterday, but we poked something wrong later, and then it didn't work. So we asked for more help.

Turned out we had to disable the internal WiFi switch on our computer, so he did that, and it boosts the signal we receive hugely. Otherwise the signal is so weak we can't bring in anything here, and our email doesn't get sent or received.

It is the second day of high heat, and today it was kind of cloudy/foggy and felt humid and close, but that cleared up this afternoon.

We went and got diesel at Flying J on Varner Road, $1.98 per gallon today, not that bad for sure. Also got groceries at Walmart and came home, then hit the pool to cool off. Truck temp read 92 degrees late this afternoon, and we put on the A/C.

Together with Dave and Wendy we left the campsite around 6:30 PM, and went in to the Palm Springs night market, which is on between 6 and 10 PM. We ate at Mary's Burgers, and then walked the whole length of the fair, about 4 blocks, right down Palm Springs main street. It was quite busy, and very warm. Quite magic as the shops and restaurants were very busy, spring break is here, and Palm Springs is hosting a lot of students, especially at the Holiday Inn. Crafts, green grocer, nuts and fruits, crafts, art stuff, crepes, other foods like sausages, hamburgers, and some vegetarian stuff too. Lemonade, fudge, kettle corn. All the basic food groups.

Back to the park a bit after 10 P.M. and watched Jay Leno interview President Obama. The president seems such a nice guy to me.
