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.
That's okay - I wasn't listening anyway - LOL
Can I help? If you email me some, I can crop and upload to my server. Freep mail me if you wish.
Message from Sir Thumb, he loved the From Sir With Love! He just got home from playing Tag Football with his troops and took our son who also got a touch down!
But FOX is going to report on the Doctor who told his patient she was fat. Now that's news you don't hear everyday!

"One more beef I have is with the sorry weekend show they have on the "media", it is so lame I can't even remember its name."
Do you mean FOX News Watch?
FINALLY ON FNC NOW!!
Let it become freepologically correct. Katrina
On Fox now
FOX NEWS COVERING IT NOW!!!! ALERT!
FOX NOW!
Come on, they're showing news about bee attacks, puppies stuck in walls, and overweight people! When they're not showing that, they're showing a "live" shot of cars as a dead stop on a Louisiana highway. I'm just all tingly with excitement here.
Whoever controls the programming for their weekends should be called on the carpet for ignoring this. I've been sitting here for 2 weeks watching them show coverage of the Ditch Witch, and now they can't cover 4,000+ people at a rally?!
FOX NEWS COVERING IT NOW!!!! ALERT!
