@JasonPremoMFG @BuzzPatterson Thanks for pointing this out. I like to know the facts before judging. My judgement still stands though 🤣

@FrankTribe @AMCTheatres It all about the $$$ y'all. But the fact that @AngelStudiosInc is doing so well is a great sign!

@mhp_guy Yes their ice maker is horrible. They even had a class action lawsuit and they still can’t get it right.

Just got back from DC and the Great American State Fair.

A few observations:
- the city felt very safe, lots of military and police around. We even walked around the city at night.
- people were happy and friendly
- the state fair was actually pretty cool with the caveat for the states that didn’t participate, it was obvious and sad. Especially Alaska, they could have had an awesome display.
- Florida and Arizona won for the best displays in my opinion
- Guam won best territory in my opinion
- SpaceX had an awesome exhibit
-NASA’s was also very cool, right next to SpaceX
- the reflection pool is still green. But you can’t tell when you are a ways away and it still reflects. And it looks fine. I don’t get the drama with the pool.
- it was the busiest I have seen DC in the 4-5 times I have gone over the last 10 years. Yet everyone was very nice and friendly. And it didn’t feel over crowded. Next weekend will be different I am sure.
- they still honk their horns but it is much less now then in years past. :) Maybe something to do with people being happier?
- lots of people wearing red white and blue, nearly everyone at the fair
- the city is much cleaner than in years past
- it was obvious they are setting up a lot of stages and tents for next weekend, you can tell it’s going to be huge
- I didn’t see very many people protesting. I saw one guy at the Lincoln memorial protesting.
- the Smithsonian museums that we went to were nice and up to date.
- the Holocaust Museum was very good but sad

Overall it’s been a great experience. The only annoying thing was all of the fencing and stages and stuff being setup for next weekend but it didn’t hamper us much. Again. It was nice. You can feel the American pride.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@BenjaminTuron Yes. It was a lot of walking. We spent about 4 hours there.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@bhrandoncj Haha. Good one. That made me laugh. What I was thinking when I said that was in the American Histroy museum we saw things I remember from my childhood. But as someone else commented, I am almost 100 because I am so boring. 🤣

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@AdamA0126 I haven’t. Maybe only 4-5 times in the last 10 years and maybe only one of those in the summer. Most of the time it was in the fall or winter.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

Ok. I’ll be honest. I don’t like saying this. But the last few times I was there in the same area, there were much more homeless. I did see homeless but it was much less this time. Now is that good or bad? It depends on where they went. Where they truly risen up and given the help they needed to get back on their feet or were they “sweep away”? Those details matter.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@sheep30 For me it didn’t matter. I prefer smaller crowds.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@roblematic1738 Yeah. I am sure of the need for the National Guard.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@bhrandoncj Bingo! Great point. Totally agree.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@JimS_Bosco Totally agree

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@JohnZavinski Yes sad state of affairs in many nations. Including the US

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@SarahSaysWhatev Totally agree with you.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@B_Goodness I really enjoyed my time.

[Frankenstein897 @frankenstein897]

@SoftMutha Good to know thank you.
