Skywriters have message for Trump at Rose Parade

[deminks]

Source: CNN

Skywriters stole the show at the 127th Rose Parade in California on Friday, dashing out a message for Donald Trump just as the last float left the gate.

"America is great! Trump is disgusting," were the words dotted clearly across the sky on what appeared to be a mostly cloudless morning.

17. The precision of the skywriting is amazing!

25. It's all computer controlled nowadays.

Unlike the old times, when a plane would describe every letter, now it's more driven by puffs in a dot-matrix fashion, not that you'd immediately recognize the difference (unless you saw the old type) in how it's made. It looks continuitous until the winds start to separate the puffs. Then it takes on the dot-matrix look you spotted.

A British bookie hired same skywriter to haze Tiger about all his cheating. It was hilarious.

Also, if one has a morning Tee time at Medinah, free omlette bar! And not a bad brat at the turn. Craft beer menu needs some tightening up, tho.

22. Heard on the local news radio this morning

that this was apparently done (or was supposed to be done) over all of the major bowl games and I heard them say the funder was also a Republican. Some scans around the net reveal the guy is a Rubio supporter.
