Lake only gained 8k votes on Hobbs, out of perhaps over 100k. With now less than 160k votes left to count, she is still down over 26k. Not looking good.

During A.M. excersises, I was pleased to view the U.S.S. IWO JIMA #7 steam down Hudson River and away from N.Y.C. She sailed quite close to Jersey side before correcting path back to center of channel and you could easily see all hands on deck gazing westerly towards me. (Isn't this the same U.S.S. IWO JIMA that 'deep-sixed OBL recently?) Anyway, big cheers and a rolling wave of my 'METS' cap was heartily given. (My effort to 'SIGN' them all "JOB WELL DONE--NOW-- LET'S ROLL!"

I just witnessed the U.S.S New York passing WTC on way to 'Fleet week'. Awesome! All hands on deck, sunny, warm morning here in Hoboken. Two Ospreys passed over to add to the moment. Couldn't decide whether to start singing "Proud to be an American" or "Anchors Away!", so I simply gazed in nationlistic pride and waved my yellow plastic shopping bags to signal the hands on deck. Hundreds in Frank Sinatra Park also watching, taking pictures. Towers now peeking above remaining neighbors, about 55 stories high and counting.

I was interviewed by Brazilian TV AND a copy writer for THE NEW YORK POST friday, working the streets on lunch break in Hoboken, NJ. Overwhelming majority of positive responses, especially among married women with children and yuppie macho white males. Remember, take your yard sign wherever you go!
