Like I'd really use the det cord.
Humi, this you?
I still don't think you were there! ;-)

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.
Boy ain't that the truth.
Thanks!!!
Thanks!
HA! Pic third down, base of telephone pole. See the white cross holding a poster? See the light purple shirt holding the cross/poster?
THAT'S ME, LOL!! .....So close and yet so far away!
(For everyone else reading this, I never made a connection with the HAT Chapter despite hunting all afternoon!)
Blow Humidston's picture up!!
Not with the left over det cord either!
Thanks for everything that y'all did!
So we DID see you there!
We just didn't know it.
Like I'd really use the det cord.
Humi, this you?
I still don't think you were there! ;-)
My pleasure!
I knew you wouldn't waste it.
Heck, we only have about 2576 feet left!
Adam,
Feel free to use my pics as you see fit.
Y'all rocked.
FReegards,

Oh, by the way.. I noted mold on parts of the big tent similar
to the mold on our long un-used banner.
Rented tents are usually put through a reconditioning before re-issue.
Just an observation.
Thank You!
We all did what was required of us at the time.
I hope to have a chance to meet up when we're no so busy.
Yep. That's me alright.... Yellow sun hat looped in my fanny pack. Sheesh! I sure look stoop-shouldered, don't I?
I came on the scene holding two signs, propped them against a fence, and never picked them up again. And I worked soooo hard on them!
Maybe the Grassfire people could use them... ;-)
Kudos to you. I'd say you did your own "support the troop" thing, wouldn't you?
bump for later

Neither did I except for Petroni. It was great seeing you again, dear FRiend. We'll have to do it again. :-)
Probably, I still wanted to freep the heck out of the libs. :)
I saw one camera with a local CBS station's logo on it. At the first Crawford FReep I saw both a CNN logo and a local Fox station logo on cameras. The CNN camera was right in my face during the singing of the National Anthem.
