Jokingly I commented on the criminal nature of that last landing (which
netted me a swat to the head :-), but wondered aloud just what the heck
could justify the expense of 30 - 40 vehicles and crew...

...and then we remembered the season, and where we were. It HAD to be a
presidential election-related visit of some sort -- but who?

Mary had quite specifically grilled Flight Service about TFRs, and had been
told there were none. DSM approach mentioned nothing, either, so we were
fairly certain that it couldn't be the President. The fact that the cops
were eying us warily, but otherwise ignoring us, seemed to reinforce this
notion.

This left the Kerry/Edwards campaign as the primary suspects, and we were
not to be disappointed.


Fear not Jay. In 2 1/2 short months Iowa will once again be nothing
more than "fly-over country" to these guys.

Jay,

Is it safe to say you will be voting Republican?? :-)

I usually lean their way -- but this year has been up for grabs.

The more I hear about Kerry, however, the less I like.

Rather the situation that I'm in as well. I am still 100% undecided, but my
hopes of voting "for" either candidate are quickly evaporating, and the
"lesser of two evils" decision is becoming a reality for me.

After living in Iowa for the last 7 years, it seemed that we were the only
ones left who had NOT been to the "Great Iowa State Fair." This year is
the 150th anniversary of this grand old tradition, so last weekend we
decided to check it out.

Jay,

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter who is making the security rules. It would
seem that there is only one all encompasing, over-riding sentiment among all
levels of law enforcement and security personell:

"A repeat of 9/11(using anything that flies...from a Cri-Cri to an A380...)
ain't gonna happen on MY watch..."

The fact that the "unwashed masses" now view any type of aircraft with a
jaundiced eye is by far the saddest and most disgusting after effect of
9/11.

Just my $0.02...

......Much tripe deleted.....

Harry Truman once famously said that the "position of vice-president ain't
worth a bucket of warm spit." Worse, Edwards isn't even THERE yet --

he's
just a wannabee! He is nothing, absolutely NOTHING -- yet we are treating
him like royalty, and my family was treated like criminals when we were
anywhere near him. If this is what we have to look forward to under a
Kerry/Edwards presidency, I fear the worst is yet to come.


Jay, when you become a viable candidate for the position of the 2nd most
powerful man on this planet your opinion on this subject might mean
something. Until then, you should be embarrassed you wrote this immature
dribble. Your self-centered and prejudiced attitude places you square in
the category of CJ Campbell, just another grumpy old man.

Jay, Jay, you're hopeless! As you said yourself at the beginning of
your post, had any of the Bush people been visiting, there'd have been
a TFR and you'd have stayed home. The Kerry people are voluntarily
waiving their option of having TFRs!
