Hey. I was in Parkville yesterday when Obama showed up. [View all]

I guess his bunch was headed back up to the airport and decided to drop in on Parkville. Parkville is a little town right next to KC. Main St. has a whole lot of old buildings that have a lot of little fun boutiques and art stuff for sale. And the trains run every 20 minutes and sound their whistles. It's a really cute little town. Parkville always reminds me of Ray Bradbury's little town in Dandelion Wine And there is this little coffee shop with tables out front and they leave the front door open - you know the kind of place. It's really small with just a few tables.

So he just kind of showed up there. And everyone had a great time. Of course there was a huge traffic mess. And Platte County is very heavily Republican so people are going to grumble. I don't think there is a single Democrat in Platte Co. government.

He's just such a nice man. No matter about the difference in your politics you just have to like the guy because he is just a great person.
