WHAT DID YOU DO?

I can't speak for you reading this but the weather here was beautiful if you like HOT weather.  I went to my camper this weekend where the temp. was 98, 100 and Monday 98. Thank goodness for airconditioning in park models. In the mornings, before it got was the temp was around 75 so I could sit on the deck and enjoy my coffee, one or two cups and then the temp started to climb.
At the campground there are two swimming pools and a beach. All were packed to capacity.
Sunday was family day when my son and his family, daughter and her family came out to enjoy the day. Granddaughter came out on Saturday with two of her girlfriends who spent the night sat and sun.
The estimation on the number of people at the campground was around 7500 and you could tell, Golf carts and people walking everywhere. Some were filled to the gills both Saturday and Sunday with alcohol and of course some of these were the trouble makers.
Monday was pack up and go home day I have a Park Model so there was little packing up to do.
Hope all that read this had a wonderful weekend and also a safe one.

WHAT DID IT ACCOMPLISH

Did it accomplish anything? Was it worth all of the money spent on this this? Was it worth disrupting the entire city of Chicago? NO!!!!!!!
Streets were closed, stores were closed and there were restrictions on what commuters could bring on the buses and trains. Stores lost business and people could not walk down streets without being harassed by the police (which is a good thing). That is one job I'm glad I don't have. God Bless the police and the great job they did.
Like I said before, did it accomplish anything. What?  THE NATO SUMMIT. I have always looked at NATO as a useless organization for which the U.S picks up most of the tab, like now. If they want to play their little games that's OK but with it come the protesters and not all are peaceful, there are also trouble makes, losers with out jobs that hide in school pretending to love this country. 
Well anyway it is over today and these freeloaders will be going back to the own countries with thoughts of Chicago with it's beautiful skyline and buildings and eateries, if they got there. One thing these dignitaries should do when they leave is to take the protesters with them.
Now it's back to reality.
