Barack Obama in Davenport, Iowa
My father was born in Davenport, Iowa. His family (the Kunkels) have lived there since around the Civil War and used to have a sporting good store there. So I always pay attention to the local politics in Davenport.
Well, Obama just swung through Davenport and this video shows what a man of the people he really is:
Bush and McCain won't talk to anyone who hasn't been pre-screened to avoid embarrassing questions. Obama is willing to face the people, including potential critics. The Republicans are afraid of the American people. Obama is one of us.
Heh
Glad my family sold you quality camping gear. I haven't yet found a chance to visit Davenport but want to someday. My father left Davenport, married my mother in California (where my brother was born) and I was born in Arkansas. My parents divorced when I was young and I lost track of my father until he wrote me from an army base in Pusan, Korea, where he was teaching. I later learned he died and it was after that that I started looking into my ancestry.

Used to eat at ross
Used to go to Ross's when I had serious stoned munchies in the middle of the night.
In 73 I bought a sleeping bag, tent and backpack from Kunkels, paid a lot for it, but I used this equipment for over 30 years! Dead show campouts, Rainbow family gatherings, always with the same gear I bought at Kunkels in 73. The tent was the last to go, fell apart at Schwag Stock in MO in 05!
