December 5, 20187 yr He also sang at Billy Graham’s funeral. Before that, I had not heard his name in forever.
December 5, 20187 yr Damn. I’m laughing and crying like 8 year old me. Anytime a tenor sings The Lord’s Prayer, I lose it anyway. This has been majestic, heartfelt, and forward-thinking. This is GHWB’s message forward. We gotta get this shit straight.
December 5, 20187 yr That statement hit me like a ton of bricks...makes we want to change my username to nohate...except I’ll always hate ou.

December 5, 20187 yr Wow, Such a powerful tribute to a man who had to navigate the corridors of one of the hardest vocations to keep your dignity and honor intact To come out on the other end as this admired, respected, and liked is a confirmation of what a great guy, father, grandfather, and president he was. W. was a champ up there, I can't imagine how hard that was. Just sitting here it was tough enough to hold it together as they dusted the room around me. Tom Brokaw was breaking down just talking about it. Edited December 5, 20187 yr by Onboard 2.0
December 5, 20187 yr The 70-mile train ride from Houston to College Station tomorrow through the small towns should result in some nice tributes along the way.
December 5, 20187 yr Rev. Levenson's homily was superb. Watching James Baker's reaction to the part about rubbing Bush's feet in his last moments was an incredible scene.

December 5, 20187 yr I once got shoved off of the running track at the Houstonian by his secret service detail. He waved at me and yelled "sorry" as he ran by.

Years ago my wife and I stopped in to the Blockbuster at the corner of Woodway and Chimney Rock. It was Sunday right after church and rainy. Nothing was going on so we decided to pick up a DVD and stay inside. ... Epilogue: I got back to the truck and recounted the events to my wife. She said "oh, that's nice. Hey, I was looking at this coupon from the newspaper and there's a fondue set on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond. Here, looks at what a great deal it is!" Ugh. 1 Saw him leaving the Walgreens once a few doors down. I watched the entire funeral. It was worth it.

December 5, 20187 yr Popular Post Our sub was doing testing in Ft. Lauderdale back in the mid 90's and a cruise ship went by that happened to have George and Barbara on board. George saw our sub and came down to the boat. He got a tour and was humble and gracious and thanked us all for our service. No one on the boat had the balls to tell him his fly was open.

December 5, 20187 yr Author ABC 13 has been running a live feed from their chopper, awaiting the return to Ellington Field of the plane with the casket. Cameraman got bored with the wait, filmed a Southwest plane leaving Hobby Airport. I wonder how many viewers this confused? "Damn, those tightwads took Southwest!" https://abc13.com/politics/live-pres-george-hw-bushs-casket-returning-to-houston/4836322/ Edited December 5, 20187 yr by clapclapclap
December 5, 20187 yr The casket probably got B45 because they forgot to plan ahead and get EarlyBird. Edited December 5, 20187 yr by phdhorn
December 6, 20187 yr The military participation, pageantry, precision and respect in today's proceedings is awesome and spectacular. Watching the casket arrive at St. Martin's now. So moving.

December 6, 20187 yr Once the dust settles, I'm going to hold my breath and go down to aggyland (fuck!) to check out his grave next week. Anyone want to go on a date, let me know.

December 6, 20187 yr Just got in line to get bused to the church for viewing. Still a 2 hr wait at 1230 AM. Surprisingly some decent ass in this line.Sent from my LM-X212(G) using Tapatalk

December 6, 20187 yr At least I can get around Sheepfuckville without going near that fucking hideous campus. Take 21 in, some parkway SW of town that bypasses it, and get to the library which is SE of that shithole. So I think I can do it without puking. I'll head down there some time later next week. Anyone wanna go let me know, otherwise I'll brave it me-self.
December 6, 20187 yr Oh: full disclosure - I lived in College Station once, June-December 1982. I lived in a trailer. Don't ask.
December 6, 20187 yr Our cub scout pack did an overnight campout this past weekend on the USS Lexington and they have a replica of the TBM Avenger that he flew in WWII. It also had some cool info about the missions he flew. Was cool to get to see that. imgur>

December 6, 20187 yr I'm on my way to pick up my mom and take her up north of Tomball to watch the train procession. Vaya con dios, sir.
December 6, 20187 yr Singing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” rt now. Is it possible to listen without shedding a tear. Damn
December 6, 20187 yr That was a nice service. Working in Brenham, wish I could run over to Navisota to see the train but stuck at the office
December 6, 20187 yr went outside to watch the procession (we're a block from st. martin's). everyone was silent as it passed by. waved back at laura bush.
December 6, 20187 yr I go home for lunch most days and the route takes me over some train tracks. There were cars lining the street near the tracks and it didn’t dawn on me as to why. I’m pretty surprised at how many people are already there. I saw many Veterans hiking a few hundred yards in shitty weather, some of the using their walkers.
