Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.
Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!
Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.
They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.
The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.
Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.
To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!
That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.
Hello glad to see you around

Anyone still think she deserves sympathy?
LOL. That's the kind of thing that happens to me when I try HTML. That's why I have given up.

Why do you keep posting double posts?
Why don't you post it once more. /sarcasm off. Leftists love to see "seminar" posters putting down a GREAT thread. AKA the enemy within.
HI Jonny, are you behaving?
FOX has fogotten that old adage:
"Dance with the one who brung ya"!
If they are trying to get CNN's audience with
this ridiculous coverage, they will be sadly
mistaken.
Might be a good idea. I was looking for it until I remembered what Wolfstar said last weekend. Others may not know.
The Ghost Breakers (1940) with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard.
Geoff Montgomery (Richard Carlson): A zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.
Larry Lawrence (Bob Hope): You mean like Democrats.
I could not believe it I keep thinking did I miss it or was that it unbelieveable.
Are they under instructions
Hey, post it again, loser.
Everyone should give Hume, Gibson, Hannity and O'Reilly a shot at it before they go off the deep end.
It's Saturday and the grownups are not at the network.
2 freaking hours on a story that has been over with a week after it happened.
I swear Fox would break away from the capture of Bin Laden to go cover Aruba.
Thanks for all the awesome pictures--since I couldn't be there in person! You have helped it become real! What wonderful people that support our Prestident and the troops!
LA was covering it? Cool! That's a LOT of people.
Kudos to all involved w/today's event, including all those here who helped make our media blackout entertaining, if no less frustrating.
Thanks TXBubba for starting it....when I left this morning you were jumping from thread to thread looking for a live one. Thanks to all who braced the heat in Texas to represent us. You are awesome!
ps: nobody hon, you are appreciated more than you can ever know for what you do. Just remember, these are the dog days of summer, they wear on hard on us dumb cows too.
