OK, just getting back from the rally in Amarillo. One word !
AWESOME !
The Easter bunny errr Jim Robinson was lost between NM and TX. They really did take a wrong turn in Albuquerque (bugs bunny voice). All the evidence points at the road signs being screwed up in Tijeras there Slim.....
Anyway I get there at 1700L and the word is they'll be late, 1900 or 1930L, so I see the opportunity to go burn a steak at the Big Texan. I arrive back at 1845L and the word is now 2030L....The Caravan is LOST on I-40 !?!?!? Who's drivin Stevie Wonder ?
2100L we have been playing music, bag pipes, a little lady who sang like an Angel......That was her name BTW, kept us entertained and local speakers kept the crowd amused and ready to roar in the 98 degree heat. A local couple who'd lost their son in Iraq was present and joined the caravan to go down there to face Sindy the Seditionist in Crawford in PERSON !
The folks invited all to jump in THEIR OWN vehicles and go with them....we all lisyend to the lady (Melanie Morgan ?) from Move America Forward web site spoke for about 30-45 minutes, press was in her face with silly questions. She slammed em. The rube presstitutes in Amarillo didn't stand a chance against this ladies quick and lethal wit....
We had old, young, veterans, families, bums, homeless (it was a truck stop on I40 ya know), truckers that escorted the caravan in and it was loud. Three miles away they started honking and blowing their horns and were filling all three lanes of I40 east as far as ya could see...
Lot of pride was present, a lot of the proud are enroute to hopefully shout down [Ms. Crawford's] agenda..... The Big Itch in the Bar Ditch in Crawford is in for a surprise.
I took a lot of FR threads that I had printed out about Mzzzzzzzzz Shenanigans including the lexus nexus thread that listed all her financial woes, aka liens against her thus proving IMO that all she does is for her fiscal future vs the safety of any parents children as she loves to say.
I introduced a lot of folks o FR, told em to beware Slim and Eaker and felt like I'd been cheated after waiting up all afternoon in the hunnerd degree heat sweating like a overweight Texan........ waiting for Jim Rob......whimper ....snif....snivel.....whine.....
That's my after action report ........Stay Safe !
Alas, I AM a slow learner. ;*(
Yes, we know because some of the guys got off the bus and crossed the street to tell us about it!! I just LOVE our soldiers!!!
Glad to hear it, and thanks for letting us live vicariously through you.
LOL....My life story.....:o)
Thanks, Squantos, for your report! Especially the part about the Caravan making a lot of noise when they FINALLY got there: what a misadventure that must've been, getting lost between New Mexico and Texas!!
So, neither of you joined the Caravan? Or, are you just taking your own route down to Crawford tomorrow?
I'm in Virginia. I hope to be standing tall for our troops outside of Walter Reed tonight.
God bless you.
Nope....donated a lot of dollars and time while they were here and sent em on their way and made sure they had zero harrassment while here in Amarillo......they clearly didn't even know the level of security they had and that's the way it was supposed to be.....Nice, Safe Pro America Rally supporting our troops, past present and future that venture in harms way to keep us safe !
Hey, I know you enjoyed the time and have the satisfaction of providing a needed service. Yeh, I regretted not slipping them a 20 while they were here, but donated at the MAF site. They're burning a lot fuel, especially when they get lost for 5 hours!!
Our troops are the best and we owe them so much that we cannot repay, but we try...
God bless you.
ROTFL! Hey, all you need to do is stay on one of the 5 paved roads in New Mexico and you'll eventually reach civilization.
I'll second that. Great report Squantos
Thanks for the kind words....seeing all those folks here and in the caravan gives one confidence that the real America will survive all the attempts to destroy it from within.
Stay safe Ya'll !
I have travelled on I-40 for a number of years and have always been treated courteously and hospitably in Amarillo. I like the place alot and Amarillo's treatment of the Caravan just confirms that. Viva Amarillo!
LOL!
Dat wong turn in Albequerque wiww get ya eeeeeevewy time! huh-huh-huh-huh-huh!
Thank you Squantos, I almost feel like I'm there!
(only glad I didn't get lost!)
bttt
I wonder if they went through the megalopolis of Bovina? That was my stompin' ground until 6th grade.
LOL...I know everyone can't make it all the time so we went for ya and everyone else.....I am wordy at times. Glad ya enjoyed the reeeeeeeport !
Stay safe !
That was a great report. Glad you were there representing those of us who couldn't get there.
