I went to the Tulare Ag-Center Tea Party today and saw JimRob. Jim, it's always a pleasure! Here's a few pics I took. The one of the main assembly was long after people were leaving. I didn't get there until 2:00pm, which was closing time. I wish I could have seen it when it was rocking!
Ping for the pics I promised!
Pittsburgh had around 2 thousand, about the same as on April 15th in Market Square downtown, and quite a bit smaller than the one on the North Shore April 12th but not that bad IMO.
The left will either ignore this latest round or ridicule and dismiss the Tea Parties. Maybe not a bad thing. Let them think we're losing steam and then hit them hard in the fall.

Great to see you again! Thanks very much!
The hat. I just noticed the hat.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stealing that picture!

LOL! Our friend Syncro got that hat for me.
Oh boy. I should have known it was him...
Looks like I just missed you. I left just before 2:00 to avoid what must have been a massive traffic jam!
I think I pulled in around 1:45, and made it to the "big tent" by 2:00, after stopping and saying hi to JimRob and the gang. The traffic really wasn't that bad getting out. I think I stayed until only 2:30 or 2:45. I was shocked to see just how far some people had to walk to their cars. Some of those cars were 1/2 mile from the gate. When the lot was full it must have been a madhouse. Since I got there after people were already leaving I got to park right up front.
I'm taking a well deserved break now. I've been on my feet all day, as a volunteer with our small town police department all morning at our city park festival, followed by a mad dash down to Tulare to the Tea Party, and then again this evening for the police directing traffic for the fireworks show at the high school baseball field. My dogs are tired! :) It's been a good and satisfying day.
I wish a happy and Blessed Independence Day to all of you! Stay safe!
