I'd like to thank those of you who replied to my trip this weekend. Sean was
kind enough to open his house to me as there were no rooms left in town.
There was a powerboat poker run on the lake and 50 miles upriver was the
Laughlin River Run which is a huge motorcyle rally.
The protesters didn't show up and the event went off well. It's been
over 30 yrs since I attended a full military funeral. Having over 150 fully
flagged motorcycles follow the hearse and limo to the cemetary was emotional.
Havasu showed me the best that small town America has. People stopped their
cars
and got out and saluted or placed their hand over their heart as we went by.
My service during the Viet Nam conflict helps give me the conviction to keep
this practice up. I'll be attending more of these as needed in the Az area.
Let's hope it ends soon.
And yes: Sean has a full time job bringing his 23 back to a proper pocket
yacht. All the big problems are below the waterline, so he's working in the
shade. One good way to look at it.
Sandy
