with the Goodyear blimp in the usually sunny sky beyond. (Roses bloom all year there, so I just chose that day to buck up and trim off dozens of buds and flowers.) But nice as it always was, I never saw anything that made me smile that much.

The man who says he was behind the skywriting is Stan Pate, 57, from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

"I've listened to this Donald Trump over the past several months, and I'm the guy that believes you ought to respect the office of President, it doesn't matter who holds it," he told CNN. "You respect the office of the most important person in the country."

Pate said he could see himself voting for Hillary Clinton but hasn't decided yet. He's more determined to stop Trump right now.

"The idea that you can hate your way to the presidency is disgusting to me," he added. "I'm tired of hearing it, he's in the way of us selecting the right person for the job. It's time somebody stood toe to toe with him. I'm encouraging people across all of America to get involved and tell Donald Trump exactly who he is and what he is."

Pate, who showed CNN a contract with the skywriting company to prove he funded the effort, was confident he got his message out far and wide.

"Skywriting is a huge billboard and its grabs people's attention," he said. "There were probably a million people in the street. You can see this thing for 15 miles."
