So. Am traveling, no internet/TV/Radio til this AM. last night RNC - 1 sentence - what did I miss?

we are in Iowa, the Seed Savers Exchange put my wife and I up in a primitive cabin overlooking a field with cattle, no internet, phone, TV, anything - just nature, crickets, frogs, birds - so I am in a coffee shop in Decorah this AM just to catch up before I disconnect again.

Curious about how Clint, and Rmoney, came across. Any expectations from a bump (I did peek a bit at tweets about the first two days - what a joke/mess!).

OK - will check in later on...off for a bike ride!

and she finally said that if she lived to be a hundred she would never see anything that weird at a convention.

That's all you need to know.

Seriously, there wasn't anything more noteworthy that that.

I watched about 10 minutes of it. The usual hot air and lies.

I would rather hear about your trip.
