I am sitting in Caribou Coffee in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, using their free internet access, drinking coffee, and writing about Des Moines. I started at Barnes & Noble; internet access is not free at B&N in Sioux Falls! So what about Des Moines? Where will you be given free internet access?
- Barnes & Noble? Nope. Access is not free; you can buy access on site through AT&T.
- Border’s? Nope. Access is not free; access is available to T-Mobile customers.
- Caribou Coffee? Yep. Access is free.
- Panera Bread? Yep. Access is free.
I buy a lot of books. I think I’ll go to Caribou Coffee and Panera Bread and order a few of them from Amazon.

Yes, and in Silicon Valley and Marin County, Starbucks charges you $10 for a
card that is good for some amount of time. I was so annoyed I decided to
give up drinking coffee there. I haven’t tried Borders lately (when I did a
year of so ago, there was a charge), but I have heard they are changing the
policy. Just in time, because I too have bought books from Amazon out of
pique. And now I have discovered used books at Amazon. What a treat! Real
bargains.
Thanks for your articles. I love them.
