And Then There Was Two!
1-When there was four days left, I had the pleasure to accompany my daughter and oldest grandson to a huge CTPR Rally in West Chester, OH, for the Challenger and His Running Mate.
2-There was a supporting cast of a least 40 US Senators and House members, current governors, current and former VIPs, wives of the candidates. The crowd was estimated at 30,000+ people who passed security and were directed inside a semi-tailer fort, that cordoned off the stages* and field. Overflow crowd of thousands reportly stood outside the secure area, and watched on jumbo TV or simply listen to the loud speakers. Sharpshooters were positioned on tall buildings surrounding the site as well as working the crowd
3-We got there early ~4 PM and declared soverency of our two foot square plot of turf each, and held that beachhead for the next~6 hours. It just happened later, to be prime real estate, ~ seven rows from the speakers' stage. Many spoke walking the in front of us, some length of the stage, the Challenger and VP Candidate, others used the podium ~20 feet to our right. Don't get better than this!
4-It was a surreal experience to see all these VIPs and the Challenger and His Wing Man pass almost in front of us.
5-Oh! can't forget it there was other stage, at right angle and ~300 ft. from the main stage, where Kid Rock and his band preformed from ~6PM to ~7PM. Following on the main stage, the Eagle Scouts presented the flag and the Pledge of Allegiance, then a unknown couple sang the Star-Spangled Banner. And hence the speeches flowed.
6-The Challenger's speech was the final for the evening which was excellent, but about 99% through his speech, I got big time back spasms. Told the kids were are living mox schnee, and headed for the medics station or they found us. Cut to chase everything turned out OK, and we got a special exhort, discounted the school bus shuttle that got us from designated parking a mile or so distance away, earlier. Special service was rendered by my son-in-law who picked us up from the medics station. To which I say thanks again!
7-Would I do it all over again, when do we leave!
8-Now we are but two days from when this nation either turns towards good and the brightness of a new era or do we sinks further into the evil darkness of socialism, and hope for 2016 for a new opportunity to change America. Hell no, can not wait!
