OHIOPYLE, PA.- Judy and her husband Phil, who is in his 29th year of service in the military, along with three other couples who ventured from Pittsburgh to attend an annual craft beer festival held on the fringes of the Pennsylvania state park, all sat in folding chairs, waiting for the event to begin.
They were three hours early, the second in line and well stocked with sunscreen, bottles of water, string cheese, beef jerky, cold beers and a very happy state of mind.
“We come for the atmosphere, the camaraderie, the music, the beer of course, it’s just a very good vibe here,” she said.
Off in the distance the long, long, short, long whistle of the freight train signaled to those at the end of the line they best move away swiftly from the tracks because the CSX line would barrel through in seconds.
All four couples had camped out one mountain top away; they had all met at their local church years ago and instantly formed a deep friendship.

What are you seeing and hearing where you go in your daily travels? Any support for hildabutchbitch?
I live in Bucks county and work in Montgomery county. I would say among the working types Trump is doing very well. Folks are quiet about it but from what I have seen both counties seem to be Trump leaning, at least once you get to working folks.
That said I have very little vision into southern Bucks county(past Southampton) or Montgomery county near Norristown or right next to the city.
Most folks seem to think the election will come down to how much ballot box stuffing goes on in Philadelphia. There was a lot of it in 2012, where the republican observers were thrown out and then some districts put in 99% voting (over 70 percent is virtually impossible)with 99% of those folks voting Obama. Philly is really bad these days, one wonders what sort of shenanigans they will pull.
I see some Bernie signs not many hillary..more trump one going to try and get pics of his some home made ones..
