Oh dear. Just learned the Really Big Show is scheduled for next weekend at the State Farm Stadium which is just 1.5 miles down the road from our home. Somehow I think they needed the place where the Super Bowl is held when in Arizona. Probably the hottest ticket around.

Trump is coming, of course. I bet the whole Cabinet comes. And likely foreign leaders too, wanting to get in on this. Do you think security will be tight, much? Somehow I think all the Republicans in House and Senate will be coming. All manner of religious leaders. I bet leaders in other countries will also try to get in on this. I have a headache already, thinking of the drama.
PS I don’t think I made it clear- the gigantic stadium is where the funeral for Charlie Kirk is going to be.
