Since you were around the area of the dnc convention. Did you hear their squeals when they could not fill the stadium? Heard there was gnashing of teeth, and much screaming and yelling. Heard zer0 went wild. Moochelle is said to have nearly ate the mayor. Heard it was terrible. Was nowhere near the place. Many many miles away. Gave me peace. See you and yours survived, and this is good. Glad you'all made it.
We are maybe 15 miles from “uptown,” so the DNC didn’t affect us much. I was concerned about traffic on the Thursday, but nothing happened in the areas I needed to travel. It was funny that just as Sean Hannity was saying it wasn’t going to rain in Charlotte that evening, it poured on us! I was going into church for a meeting at 4:00 p.m., with several children, and we got drenched.
I think the “scattered thundershowers” saved face for Obama a little, since weather concerns were their cover story to avoid mentioning the attendance at 20% of what they’d hoped.
