wow, i took my camera with a 4gb card & filled the memory card so i only part of his speech recorded but i think i can get some nice stills. it is taking a long time to download it from my camera i couldn't wait to check in i'll post some pic's tomorrow after i get it all downloaded.i got to the high school- it's on my way home from work. it was 3:15 and people were lined up forever already. so i forgot about home & whipped into the parking lot of the library. there were more people with the same idea .we stood in line and talked with each others. there was a young man there who was on chemotherapy & he stood there & waited . there were hundreds of people , so much energy. they told us there were over 200 people outside standing & listening. obama came in late because he was out there shaking their hands. now that's a president for me. the people were so diverse and so happy & eager . it was inspiring... he has his confidence because he believes in us---we prayed at the beginning and it turned into a mighty roar!!! !it was o cool because it was just like God's children in egypt. that thought just came into my head. but it was. the guy that led the prayer asked God's spirit to be with us and by the end of the prayer it was a loud roar. i feel really blessed by being there.... i know that some of you guys don't think like that but the closer you get to the grave the more important it becomes it was also good for me to see the many, many people who were there. i'd listened to the stop in martinsville on my mail route. i felt like there was something missing. but we rocked in the 'burg. the floor was shaking from all the foot stomping. i'll look for the whole speech & try to figure out this link stuff. hang with an old lady please
