Sunday, February 7, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Plymouth, NH at Plymouth State University at ALLWell North. The event is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM EST.
Trump moves more inland today for an early rally, and again it's at a small venue.
Here's some interesting history.
This was the case in every New England state. The early settlers drove the Indians out physically during the Queen Anne's War. Plymouth was originally the site of an Abenaki village that was burned to the ground by Captain Thomas Baker in 1712.
In 1806, then-lawyer Daniel Webster lost his first criminal case at the Plymouth courthouse, which now houses the Historical Society. The author Nathaniel Hawthorne, while on vacation in 1864 with former U.S. President Franklin Pierce, died in Plymouth at the second Pemigewasset House, which was later destroyed by fire in 1909. In the early 20th century, the Draper and Maynard Sporting Goods Company (D&M) sold products directly to the Boston Red Sox, and players such as Babe Ruth would regularly visit to pick out their equipment.

I believe my rising sign is Leo; Moon is Gemini.
That is hilarious.
Great leadership qualities, good at speaking, but somewhat divided/too many things at the same time in your brain.
Are you good at multi-tasking?
Oh I know how you feel.
My grandmother loved azaleas. I have about 30 of them in the front and whenever we drive up the driveway, I always think of her; especially when they are all in bloom.
I haven’t had a variety of azalea that will grow here. But I do love them. We do have beautiful red bud and dogwood.
Some days I go home and feel like my brain has whiplash, it's bounced around among divergent subjects all day long.
Oh, and I make presentations to various groups that want to know about our retirement insurance benefits.

Early life
War service Edit
During the war years, Dr. Trump switched from work on hospital X-ray machines, to research into similar technologies with a more direct application to warfare, especially the development of radar. In 1940 he joined the newly formed National Defense Research Committee (NDRC), as technical aide to the Chairman of the Radar Division, and President of MIT, Dr. Karl Compton. [1]. In 1942, he became Secretary of the Microwave Committee, a sub-committee of the NDRC. The head of the Microwave Committee was Alfred Lee Loomis, the millionaire physicist, who decided to create a laboratory, selected a site for it, chose a suitably discreet and ambiguous title for it and even funded it, until the Federal administration was set up. The new institution was the MIT Radiation Laboratory, or the ‘Rad Lab’ to those in the know. The British were also working on radar, which they called RDF, but had started much earlier. Their Tizard Mission to the USA, showed how far ahead they were in some of the technologies, particularly the magnetron, and it was decided to send a US team to Britain to help coordinate the efforts of the two Allies. The unit was known as the “British Branch of the Radiation Laboratory” (BBRL) and operated as a department of Britain’s Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) at Malvern, in Worcestershire. From February 1944 to the end of the war in Europe, the Director was John Trump. [2] During this time he also served in the Advisory Specialist Group on Radar, advising USAAF General Carl Spaatz on navigational radar, precision-bombing radar and also defenses against the German radars found in their night-fighters and in their flak units. The systems included: Gee, Oboe, LORAN, H2X, MEW & SCR-584. Trump worked with all the leading British radar experts, including Sir Robert Watson-Watt, A.P. Rowe and Bernard Lovell. At the end of the war Trump also had interviews with Germany’s leading radar technicians. Trump received recognition for his war-work from both the United States and the United Kingdom.

Sweet!
I don't have any here, but we did have one at the summer house, when I was a child.
LOL....I guess that I hit the target...even with my very brief description of your good qualities. :-)
One of my uncles worked there...he talked about Watson Watts.
Wat back when, before the flood, the vast majority of New Hampshirites where STAUNCH GOPers. :-)
WOW....there are a lot of great genes in that family and yes, IQ is part of that gene pool too.
