Default The Morse bridge over Lake Sumter

has been bumper to bumper for the last hour. What a mess. The golf carts are moving right along. Leave the cars at home, folks. Think about all the fuel being burnt while all those cars sit in gridlock on the bridge. Drill baby, drill.

4:30. Susan, your pic is most beauteous!!!! As I look out my window, the bridge is still a mass of unmoving cars. You couldn't pay me to get in that mess. They were testing the loudspeakers this AM. I'll probably be able to hear her from the lanai.

Wish I was on your lanai with you. We could hear her, watch her on a laptop, and no crowds. It looks like everyone is standing...no chairs? That leaves me out.

Thanks about the picture...That's what I looked like when Tom and I first met.

...and you are still beautiful...and the bridge is still crowded. Hubs just went out to Buena Vista. It's backed up to Palmer heading for LSL.

I hope it is not, but I wouldn't be surprised...an ambulance?? People have been standing in front of that stage since this morning in the sun. The good thing is no one can fall, they are packed so tightly. Sarah is drawing a crowd.

Maybe they are there to hear Aaron Tippen. Country music is big down here. I'll bet many outsiders are here as well. There were to many cars on that bridge.

How come when I go to the webcam in the villages.com Lifestyle, all I get is Spanish Springs? I clicked below as usual to switch camera and it goes blank with a question mark. I wanna see, I wanna see......

I was surprised when just checking the Villages TV station to see that there is live coverage of the rally. Looks like a bunch of sardines. . Every time I have turned to that channel, it is pre-recorded.

Announcer just said Palin has heard what a large crowd there is waiting for her and she is trying to get here earlier than planned.
