Just passed the Wells Fargo center. Check out the DNC signage.



At the designated "selfie spot" by the plastic Liberty Bell.

[DFW]

8. It was tempting, but I'm passing this time

I just need the rest more than I need the excitement. I was invited with all the trimmings (hotel and VIP pass), but much as I would have liked to see everyone (and you guys), I just couldn't handle it this year. I needed the rest more. August, I would have done.

Oh, well, next time, and post LOTS of pictures!

[yallerdawg]

70. You're young, healthy and hardy, but in those Philly temps, hydration is a must.

Take water with you whenever you go outside.

Skinner, I can't help but notice that your graying-pattern has followed Obama's very closely.

It's tough running a country and a Democratic discussion forum. LOL!

I hope you're not going to take a cue from the Trumpster and start dyeing it.

Frankly, I think the gray-fox look suits you very well. There's a real air of gravitas about you now!

[Hekate]

71. Have a wonderful time, and keep us posted!

[forest444]

72. You guys look great!

I had never seen a photo of either of you; you've really got it together.
