Harrisburg's site is thought to have been inhabited by Native Americans as early as 3000 BC. The first European contact with Native Americans in Pennsylvania was made by the Englishman, Captain John Smith, who journeyed from Virginia here in 1608 and visited with the local tribe. In 1719, In 1785, John Harris, Jr. made plans to lay out a town on his father's land, which he named Harrisburg. In the spring of 1785, the town was formally surveyed by William Maclay, who was a son-in-law of John Harris, Sr. In 1791, Harrisburg became incorporated and was named the Pennsylvania state capital in October 1812, and has been since.

Our sympathies to you, SelmaLee.
We’ll try to cheer you up.
Really enjoy Dan Scavino’s tweets.. been following him a few weeks.
NO ISSUE whatsoever with double posting something you were unaware was posted earlier. A lot of folk who quickly skim threads might have missed it .
I am so very sorry for your difficult loss SelmaLee. Thoughts and prayers for you and yours as you keep her tight in your heart but try to continue to muddle along in this thing we all life and living. {{{{{SelmaLee}}}}}
+1.
Enjoy those Australians!
I sincerely hope your right Mr. Paebody.
My husband’s nephew who usually votes Democrat I found out yesterday when I picked my truck up at the garage HE’S a BIG TRUMP supporter!
Yesterday jennychase posted information about Rick Wiley. I looked him up and he formerly worked for Scott Walker as a campaign operative. He was seen in Florida supposively going to the RNC meeting. He’s suppose to be the best.
I thought it was interesting Donald met with Pence who at the same time is asking his supporters to give money to Scott Walker. Do you think these three have make some kind of deal yesterday?
I LEFT OUT THE MAIN INFORMATION>>>>>>>>>>DONALD HAS HIRED RICK WILEY
This is very disappointing...and as a single-dad with 2 daughters, it’s quite disconcerting.
Trump: Transgenders Should ‘Use the Bathroom That They Feel Is Appropriate’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3423235/posts
Sums it up perfectly.
Sincere condolences, SelmaLee. My prayers for your sister’ soul and your family.
Well said.
The Trump-haters are going nuts this morning with a comment he made about “transgender bathrooms”. I don’t know if he misspoke, understood the question, or like me often gets confused about which law or court case makes things better or worse, but I do know that this is not the #1 consideration for the President of the United States. It is the crazy court system and state legislatures that are inflicting this nonsense and that’s where it needs to be stopped. I mean, can anyone actually see a President signing an executive order about bathrooms for crying out loud?
Trum is the kind of leader we need at this point in time, and he has identified the right issues to make America great again. Nitpickers and haters notwithstanding!
Ah, success for the evil ones, once again!
The world is burning, America is falling apart, the Muslim Brotherhood is crawling all over the Whitehouse, the Constitution is being shredded, our babies are being sucked and butchered from the womb ...
But the conversation has been deflected to what Trump said about bathrooms.
I think I’ll take a break and go sew ...
Thank you for posting this video. It is simply amazing to see the enthusiasm of the people! Mile after mile!
Trump answered as a BUSINESSMAN! He just couldn’t help himself because, after all its what he is. We’ll have to not look at his remarks with MR. PEABODY’S glasses.
Trump said, “They need to keep the laws as they are.” It would really hurt North Carolina more by having to change the bathrooms
I think he meant having to build extra bathrooms it would hurt companies and people should use the bathroom they feel they need to use. He was actually saying two things in one answer.
He didn’t dwell on the question and YES, he could have answered more to our liking but he answered honestly as HE sees it.
Not taking up for Donald just seeing and reporting as I interpret his words.
Thanks again fir the awesome reporting and photos of yesterday's rally! I hope you were able to get a good nights rest. We are getting pounded by rain this morning in San Antonio, but our weekend is going to actually have some sunshine!
Thank you all for your good wishes, and prayers, they are most appreciated.
She was only 67, but had been suffering from Alzheimer’s for years. So, it wasn’t sudden, by any means.
I just noticed your tagline!!
I LOVE IT! Your are so talented and its perfect. We’ll try not to lean on your piano.
So sorry for your loss. I have a friend who found out last year that he is at risk for early Alzheimers and is preparing for that possibility, as well as making many lifestyle changes in hopes of offsetting it. It is a terrible disease and one we hopefully will have a cure for someday.
May you find comfort amongst friends here.
Up the road from you, we’ve had an inch this am. The ground is pretty saturated, so, it’s like a rice paddy out there. Wish I had some galoshes.
Hoosiermama.. I am glad I was able to help with pix. This morning I read your accounts from last night and you really shared some special thoughts and insight on being an observer/reporter. You really had a great position at the rally, up front and close! Lucky you
Jane Long.. I tripped around a few other threads this morning and you as well as many others were there in the trenches fighting off the Cruz folk, wanting debates, bragging on the great 2 minute video, suggesting DJT drop out.. etc You and the others did a great job with comments and quick comebacks. loved it.
BTW .. I too am into Young products. Am a distributor.. not a very good one as it seems the only things I sell are to myself and I give too much away. More of an avocation and I like to share the stuff with folk who need it. I love the various blends. For my detox bath I do NOT use the more pricey young oils, but use NOW or other products that I get in 4oz sized
Last night I got to bed fairly early but before I even dozed off the fire alarm went off at hotel. Went down and helped the Asst manager... hour later back in bed to read a bit to unwind ..
Looking forward to any events today and especially any first had reports from attendees..
