Since I'm only about an hour or so from Santa Barbara, I took off early this morning to see Bill Simon at the Mercury Aviation facility near the Santa Barbara airport.

The pictures are still in my video camera, but I can report an impressive turnout (looks like about 100 people) and excellent crowd reactions to a pumped-up Bill Simon and friends.

Of course as an aviation fan, I was impressed by the campaign jet, which looked like a converted Boeing 737. It was huge. I missed most of it landing, and it was mysteriously delayed in takeoff, so I'm afraid my ambition of getting nice jet pictures was sadly demolished.

I told Cindy Simon about some of my plans, and I found her to be charming, warm and friendly. Her husband was very much in attendance, shaking everyone's hand and being his cordial self.

I'm glad they're on our team, and I look forward to seeing them again tomorrow, when I go to the Olvera Street rally!
