THE BIRTHDAY BOY

Justin turned 31 on 7/ 7/ 7 and they had a Parade with a Giant Birthday Cake float just for him. Well not just for him but, we prefer to think of it as just for him. We celebrated all weekend with other "Staffers" and with new friends from the area. And now we must sleep it off...
I have now learned of a new class of people the lowest of the classes the "Staffers" the political lackeys, Inferior Humans, flying monkey types. Shunned by the all others.
These Staffers travel in groups waiting to pray on the the unsuspecting Caucus goers and any victim in their path.
Watch out for this bunch of STAFFERS

We attend the first Davenport Swing baseball game of our Great Iowa Adventure. The Davenport Swing vs. Beloit Snappers. The Swing loose score 4 to 5 blah blah blah... this is Alisha Blog now. Beautiful stadium with beautiful Mississippi views



The 4th of July Celebrations continue all week with many Parades, BBQ and fireworks. A Parade is not the same with out the skilled toss of a Creamie. But now their is Giant Piggy Banks. The Sensible Priorities Campaign. This is fantastic to see http://www.sensiblepriorities.org/

Justin had a very exciting day. Hosting his first Senator Dodd event in Clinton, Iowa at The Corner Deli & Ice Cream Shoppe. By the way Ice Cream is a very big deal in these here parts. I'm told Le Mars, Iowa is the home of Blue Bunny Ice Cream and the larges consumer of Ice Cream per capital in the country. Take that Jello Eaters...

And then he was off to one of his life long dreams of Playing ball on the Filed of Dreams Field. Yep its a real place. And he got to do it with Senator Dodd on his team. Kings Nights 3 - Dodd Squad 0... Justin's a little bitter about the little league team whopping them, but I think the thrill of the game will be with him until the next time he speaks with Kurt Bestor. Another life long dream of Justin's that has come true this year.
