Thanks Mr Thompson for putting yourself through what I know to be tough....God speed!
....and I thought that a three-day non-stop trip from here to CA by car was rough.
Sorry about the rain Mr. John Thompson
Don't you mean JIM Thompson?
Sorry, I get the Thompson brothers confused.
Are the posters on this thread taking something? Or do they need to?

Over a thousand people waited until nearly Mid-Night for the Tea Party Express to arrive, and then stayed to hear the speakers. Gives me hope for our town and country.
Sorry that you didn’t make it, but happy that your van was fixed and that you were able to catch up.
God bless you Jim. I’ll be praying for you and my fellow FReepers.
How’d things go in Bloomington IN? (AKA Berkley Mid-West)
FYI: Keith Olbermaniac had a huge rant about FR and it’s creator JIM THOMPSON awhile back. Much amusement ensued here as to who JIM THOMPSON really was (think I am Spartacus!, LOL!).
Search Jim Thompson for a good time. :-)
Yeah, the MSM is really keeping a tight lid on this story! Here in Dallas, some estimates said about 2000-3000 people showed up to greet the TPE—yet I saw only 2 live updates on the local news channel at the time it happened, and one snippet of a story way back in the metro section of the Dallas Morning News (left-leaning paper here), and half of that story was about some hairdresser who was wee-weeed that he couldn’t park in his usual parking space at the location because of the turnout. ;-)
Are you keeping up with FR? Have you heard about Van Jones?
**Are you keeping up with FR? Have you heard about Van Jones?**
I would venture to say he is well informed, probably a dandy cellphone, plenty of hotspots, and the ol’ fashioned AM radio. It’s the ‘tea party express’, not the pony express. :)
Well I would hope so, but I can tell you that there are a lot of open spaces without hot spots west of San Antonio, and a fair number of them up into the Midwest. A lot of that stretch has few or no English language AM stations.
Lots of hills with iron in them that makes receiving any signal of any kind around Bloomington....Little Cell etc except near campus.
Bloomington, IN was great! We got rained on but still had a great crowd. Didn’t see anyone leave. From the stage all you could see was a sea of colorful umbrellas with cheering faces peeping out. The rain did not dampen their patriotic spirits.
And the crowd in Bloomington, IL was huge! Looked to me like it could’ve been 2,000 to 3,000 people there.
Now on the way to Joliet.
