RNC - 2008



I returned to Minneapolis to be with friends and family during the recent RNC. I knew something had changed as the airport was filled with bomb sniffing dogs and welcome booths. It was quite intimidating. As I road the light rail and went by Fort Snelling I saw all kinds of "people managing" trucks/tanks/bulldozers at the ready. Shades of the Democratic Convention in Chicago.

As we informed friends that we had people visiting us during the convention they were surprised to hear that they were coming as delegates and not as protesters.
