Hi, 2ndDivisionVet-
What day/date is this next rally to be held? I’m drawing a complete blank.
And the one in Florida...that’s on the 31st, yes?
I dislike a bad memory.
Watch out for Salukis..
2)Ya shoulda left yesterday.
3) Turn on your GPS device/App.
Wow. Oct 26.27 & 31! Can’t wait!
Even a good one can be faulty at times.
Yes, I should have left yesterday, and the rally is only 30 miles away. A friend left at 6:00 am (13 hours before the event) and texted that he is around 100th in line with thousands behind him. He’ll get in but no way will I. Go Trump!!
