Amazing to think of how much future was changed at that exact place.

checked in the hotel at night...when i woke in the morning i looked out of my hotel room and could see dealey plaza.

i walked there and it was totally surreal. like a movie set. smaller than i had imagined. i'd seen it so many times on the

teevee. the overpass. grassy knoll.

The Secret Service will have to do a tremendous job to protect President Hillary Clinton from the legions of gun-toting deplorables who've been programmed to believe she is evil incarnate and poses an existential threat to "their" country.

No more mothers' tears and sad childhood recollections, please!

Hopefully the whole truth of that day will come out. My sense of the truth at this point is that LHO was as he said in his last words, just a patsy, a low CIA asset who got framed.

I was surprised how much it all shrunk. The depository, the plaza, and the grassy knoll were much smaller than in my mind, but just as powerful.
