There is no good way to get from La Crosse to Dubuque, is there?!?

The scary part is I'm considering a Macan / Cayenne / X3 / X5, since I'm working from home and don't need to drive the Jetta to work. But that might change next year.

Having owned the latter two (still have the X3), I would lean towards one of the Porsches. I'm actually trying to decide between a Cayenne Turbo and a, um, Raptor right now.

As far as house hunting goes, no deals have popped up lately. The step-daughter found one she liked, listed about 25% above assessed value. I hesitated, and it got an offer before I could tell her they were asking (In my opinion) too much. Shows what I know.
She found a really nice one in Moline, but it's on a 5000 sq ft lot, and I don't think she wants to drive across the bridge every day, even though the new one will be open next year.

I can't stress enough how badly I would prefer to stay in Iowa over Illinois. There are some really nice houses on the bluff in East Dubuque, IL that I refuse to ever consider because schools/taxes/development/life just seems so much worse on that side of the river.
