Defiance, OH

We were very lucky today as it seems Defiance was missed by the heavy snow that hit around us. I guess it's still coming but I'm ok if it doesn't arrive.

I finally have my new 4x4 truck that will help me this winter. I'm still looking for a snow plow to fit it so that I can help out those around me who need their driveways cleared. If the snow could hold off until then, I'd be very happy. Other than that it's shovels and a snow blower.

Butler Mohr has a snow blower that I can use that is at our Stonegate Condos. I plan on using it if I need to, but the real problem is getting it into the truck as it's pretty large.

Well if anyone has a good used snow plow for a 96 Chevy 1500 let me know!

Have a great day!

This probably will be my last post about the John McCain Rally that was held here today in Defiance. After the rally, i was taking a picture of the absolutly HUGE American flag that was hanging and a news reporter stopped by and asked me if she could ask me some questions. Of course I said I could and I was on the evening news. WTOL 11 out of Toledo did the interview and I got my 20 seconds of fame. Here's a link if you are interested at all. Here's the Video.

Bonus: There's nothing like a little free marketing.

Thanks for stroking my ego a little.

It was a cold morning in Defiance, but the crowd was huge and the city was alive. It was truly nice to have a presidential candidate come to town and give a sense of hope for us during these trying times in America. It was a great experience to be a part of as the last presidential candidate to visit Defiance was LBJ. I even found myself being interviewed after the rally by WTOL 11. They said it would be on tonight between 5:30 and 6:00. I have more pictures, but it was hard to get real good pictures of the Senator because of how far away we were.

All in all it was a Great day for Defiance and I'm proud to be part of a country that has the freedoms we do. God Bless America!

Here's a picture of Defiance Jr High School's Auditorium where John McCain will be speaking tomorrow morning. I guess he's going to be up on the steps. When I dropped off the kids this morning there were arlready several trucks in the area getting their stuff around for the event.

I was excited to receive a note from the school yesterday that stated that they will be taking all the school kids to the event. I had considered taking my kids out of school during that time so that they could experience the political process first hand. I think it's a good choice by the school board. The note was very pointed to state that it wasn't to promote one candidate over the other, but rather the historical and political significance of the event. They are, however, having someone stay at the schools for those kids whose parents choose not to allow their kids to go.

It looks like the weather is supposed to be somewhat warm as it will be in the low 60's. I'm glad for that! If you are wanting to come to the event there are still tickets available which you can get at the Republican headquarters downtown Defiance.

One of our agent's decided to head down to Bowling Green today to see Sarah Palin. I think that would be a good rally to attend as well.

I guess that's it for now. I'll have pictures to share after tomorrow's rally.

I got tickets!

(This isn't the actual Ticket)

My wonderful wife made the effort this morning to head over to the Republican headquarters and see if there were any tickets left. What she discovered is that their is an "unlimited" number of tickets available and that it's going to be outside standing room only. If anyone is still looking to get the tickets they are available and will be for the day. You will just need to give them your name, number and address and they will give you the tickets.

I also found out that it all starts at 9 a.m but Senator McCain won't be speaking until around 10. It's going to be tough dropping my kids off in the morning for school as they start their classes at 9. Yuck.
