Yeah, the wifi is a good thing.  If you can take the 12 mile detour
south of Des Moines to a town called Indianola, they had $1.99 a
gallon gas earlier this week.  It's $2.10 up here in the NE part of
the state and usually the cheapest gas in NE Iowa is just west of
Waterloo at the Flyig J trruckstop on Hwy 20.  They also have 93
octane for you premium heads.
