BTTT We got a glimpse of Clinton, and he got a glimpse of our signs. Fair trade. I almost missed him because when I heard "limo" I was thinking stretch and all that. His car is the little black one going into the garage. Being an ex-president is not as snazzy as being the "Pres." And he doesn't handle it well.

BTW, THANK YOU Noexcuses, for bringing your digital camera and getting so many good pictures. You are awesome!

I am watching Channel 5 news now. They were the only news channel with a camera as far as I could tell.

Hope the Seattle Times prints my comments comparing x42's celebrity with oj simpsons LOL!!!

BTTT One sad conversation I had with 2 policemen before we departed: They had been at the Mardi Gras debacle. One told me he stood just 10 feet away from where the young man who tried to help the girl up had been MURDERED by minority gang youth: AS THE OFFICERS WERE TOLD TO STAND AND WATCH AND DO NOTHING. He said many people came up to them asking for help from the assaults.

I asked why he and some of his men didn't just disobey orders and "do the right thing." He said they hadn't known, of course, that the young man would be hurt so badly. But he added that ANY OFFICER fired in WA CANNOT be hired in any other precinct in WA. That's it for the state. Career over. They were told not to go in because it would look like they were hurting blacks (the gang guys were black) and the "chief" didn't want the bad pr. In addition, this officer won't go after any car thief either, because for underagers, there is NO jail time. And if a police officer gets a scratch on his car he'll "get in trouble." These are good men with their hands tied. They hate their job and what it has become, what the country has become. Incomprehensible how messed up it is.
