Sometime between 10 and noon, an exterminator is supposed to spray the rooms. I think this hotel's policy is one pet so with us having 3, I'm a little edgy about it. We'll be OK if just the exterminator comes but if he's accompanied by a hotel employee, I'm not sure what will happen. I'm thinking we need to load up all the children and drive around. Jim doesn't think it will be an issue.This morning's shower was awesome. I'm not sure where to even start. OK, let's try the beginning, that's always a good place to start. The endless supply of hot water was the best part for me. Even in a "stick home", I've had to make the water hotter as I showered to keep up with the hot water loss. This stayed a constant temperature. I can't dismiss the fact that I love having extra space too. Washing my legs was great, even though instinctively, I still "watched my head" as I stood up, so as not to bang my head on the non-existent shower organizer. Oh, such little things in life we take for granted. I shaved my head and face in the shower as I always do, but this time, I didn't have to turn the water off during shave strokes. Yeah, I wasted water, and loved it. As Jim said, we were probably in the shower longer this morning than 3 days worth in the RV.
Well, now that I've shared my personal hygiene habits with you...... as I walked the dog (now sharing his personal hygiene) the exterminator showed up and I think he was by himself. Now we're free to roam Salt Lake City.
I haven't taken any pictures of the mountains here. I assure you, it's kinda ugly. Ann (Jim's Mom) warned him it was ugly here. She's right. There's so much smog, it's gross. It's constantly hazy, but I'll take some pictures so you can see for yourself. Jim says it's because Salt Lake City is in a valley/basin and the pollution can't make it over the mountains.

We left the hotel in search of an upholstery shop. We want the RV dinette cushions remade
. Aside from the atrocious floral pattern, our asses seem to bottom out (get it?). Using the GPS, we searched for a shop. We went to about 5 shops that were mostly non-existent or closed. Stopping at a 7-11 for a peepee break and peepee fuel (drinks) led us to discover the Cherokee gushing coolant all over the place. Jim remembered seeing an automotive repair place a block a way so we hobbled on over. $80.00 later we left with a new lower radiator hose.By the way, in a neighboring city we've driven through several times today, I'm constantly amused by it's name of "Midvale". For any of you Farside fans, a popular cartoon stands out. Jim and I shout "Midvale" out to each other when we pull on a push door or vice vera.
The smog you see generally only happens in the winter. Its called an "Inversion". This is when the air on the ground or in this case the air trapped in the Salt Lake Valley which is completely encircled by mountains (Yes I am aware that is a run on sentence) Anyway...when the air on the ground is colder than the air in the jetstream....it just sits for days...filling with pollution. Its not like that in the summer at all. Actually, as much as I hate to say it....quite beautiful. :)
