Good morning everybody!
I left AZ. Wednesday... and drove to Anza, CA. I met up with a buddy and we hiked the Pacific Crest Trail for 27 miles over the next 3 days. I had not hiked since February, so I was badly out of trail shape. We had about 2,000 feet of elevation gain, in the first segment of our hike, which was brutal, thankfully- we were rewarded by reaching a pine forest at 6,000 feet, where Mt. Laguna is located, just east of San Diego.
The next 17 miles took us down about 1,000 feet in elevation, placing us in a high desert environment. It was dangerously hot, causing me to suffer from a quick onset of heat stress, sending me scurrying under a manzanita bush, to escape the sun for any relief it would provide. My shade was about the size of a bath towel. I was fortunate that I only had about a mile to go until I reached my friend’s car, and the ice cold air conditioning that it provided, as a reward for finishing what we started.
I have been hydrating as much as possible, and will make a full recovery with lessons learned. I will carry more water next time, leave at the crack of dawn, and consider using an umbrella.
I had sporadic phone service so I was able to catch just bits and pieces of the final two days of the GOP Convention. As an “outsider,” it was great to have the running dialog provided by all of you here at the Trump family threads.
At this moment, I am in a San Bernardino, McDonald’s, just off the I-215, enjoying a welcome break in the air conditioning, downing a lemonade or two, and using the wifi to communicate with HQ’s.
I will reach my final destination later this afternoon, arriving at Vermilion Valley Resort, located on Thomas Edison Lake. The rustic resort is the last place that can be reached by vehicle, literally at the end of the road, on the western flank of the Sierra.
I will pass through Fresno, home to Free Republic. Were I to have the luxury of time, I wanted stop there, to take a picture of the US Post Office box, that FR uses for an address where donations are sent. Seeing the boss of FR, would be the cat’s meow. But, alas- I have already tarried too long and must get to my destination before dark, as the road is winding and pitted, and challenging in it’s own right in the daytime, becoming downright hazardous to drive at night.
Out of habit, I checked the Trump schedule and a rally is posted for North Carolina next week.
Take care everyone, I will be on a very limited Internet access situation, once at the “end of the road,” so contact will be dramatically curtailed. ;O(

WINSTON-SALEM, NC
Winston Salem Fairground Annex
8:00 PM
Donald J. Trump for President Rally
Doors open at 5:00 PM
oh boy.. WinstonSalem.. I lived there 15 years and owned a commercial real estate company. My son in still in the area (Hanging Rock Moutain ).
There is an airport NOT FAR from the fairgrounds so logistically it will go well.
Good southern folk. If I weren’t working til 11 PM Sunday and again 11PM to 9 AM Monday, I would definitely consider going.
Sounds like your trip is starting with “interest”. Have fun and be safe
After Obama, every bit of the government is rotten with corruption, from everyone in the White House, to the janitors at the TSA. That's why I'd like to have millions of bureaucRATs, nation-wide, hear the words LOUD AND CLEAR:
YOU'RE FIRED!!
So what do they call a neutered crow?
Everything went very well! I saw some beautiful views of Cleveland on Fox News.
I’ve never really watched much convention coverage, but this one seemed quite lovely.
Best of luck with your cycling, DollyCali. Getting back into shape after an injury is very difficult.
Nice! Thank you, NIKK!
Sounds like a good start to “summer vacation”. Enjoy! Keep in touch !
DollyCali,
I enjoy your posts letting us know the “doings” at your work.
You really get to meet a wide array of folks!
Enjoy your day.
Here’s hoping for a Trump inauguration and possible Freepers Celebration!
Been loving all your graphics... and discussion. HOPE WE WILL ALL REMEMBER TO MAKE YOUR POINT AND NOT BE SNARKY TOWARDS OUR FRIENDS HERE WHO MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION ON SOMETHING THAT IS MINOR. No we dont have to be snowflakes but we also don’t need blow torches given when a candle light response would suffice.
EXCELLENT advice!
Great to hear from you and that your doing well. Take care and rest when possible next week. We’ll ping important issues.
Nice hearing from you “Woodstock”. Sounds like you have plans for getting back in shape. Take care and drink fluids while working.
Love to see everyone enjoying the afterglow of this amazing convention. Haven’t felt like this politically since 1980. I think morning is once again coming to America. Some thoughts on the Laffer Curve if anyone feels like a little analysis. I love the curve but I hate the terminology...
Laffer and Reagan brought us an unprecedented and historic 25 years of growth and prosperity until the Left finally shut it down.
Tax cuts are a must, but we need to flip the reasoning - we need to change the terminology and the paradigm in all of this. Have you noticed that terms and phrases used by the Right and the Left are those engineered by government and parroted by the Leftist MSM? Examples are “supply side” and “revenue”. They are terms and phrases defined and applied solely from the viewpoint of government, not the American individual. Same with judicial opinions since around the 1900’s. You never see a court’s decision anymore based on the interest of the individual citizen but the “public interest” which is nothing other than “government interest.”
So I hate acquiescing to terms like “supply side” and “revenue” in this context because they are terms solely from the viewpoint of government, not the individual. And yet the Constitution, the Law of the Land, and the Declaration of Independence, the values from which the Constitution was derived, is focused primarily on individual interest. America is about protecting the individual, his freedom and interests, NOT about government interest.
“Supply side” says cutting taxes is justifiable because it will actually increase government “supply” and government “revenue”. And although that is true, it is NOT the JUSTIFICATION for cutting taxes. Cutting taxes is justifiable because individuals have the right to their property which includes their earnings. The brain-damaged Leftist government actually think the wages you earn belong to the government. And you have the right to keep your wages only to the extent it can be shown that government somehow benefits. Hogwash. I couldn’t care less about stupid government’s supply. And as far as “revenue” goes, the only revenue that matters is OUR revenue - your revenue and my revenue, not government revenue.
We are smack dab in the center of Orwell’s prophetic “1984”. One of the things I hope this Trump Movement triggers is a focused change in terminology and thinking back to the interests of the individual and away from government self interest, political correctness, government greed, and government corruption.
