4:45am - Arrived at Hastings in Norman. The first person in line has been
here since 3:30pm Wednesday afternoon. He says people started lining up
right after he got there. Many people are here in tents. The line has now
stretched around the entire shopping complex. Hastings was nice enough to
open its cafe so people had a warm place to go. I talked with one woman who

Crescent, OK who is taking the day off school to meet Sarah Palin. Tune

It was a really cold night, too. We get a lot of wind here, driving those cold temperatures right through to the bone.
