Bob,

First of all, how can you stand working for a company that builds these wonderfull toys and not own one. I have to assume that you get to play with the toys all the time or you would have to go insane! I like alot of you need to see the Fling go on. I had a really ****ty day yesterday at work, and when I logged in to see that this wonderfull event that Ed puts on with such a big heart was being ruined by some low life, it kills me. I think we should put a bounty on this guys @ss payable to Team Jenny. When I first read this, I thought that we should still have the parade and put snipers shooting distance from shooting distance along the parade route so that the moment this sucker took a shot, they could take him down, but rational set in and said it is not worth the chance of a single member of this family getting hurt and Ed feeling the pain forever. Yes, we would all make the decision on our own as to wether the risk was worthwhile, but Ed being the person that he is, would feel the pain and carry it for a long time if he felt the least bit responsible for something happening to anyone.

KC sounds wonderfull. Alabama did not sound bad at all either. I would step up to the plate for somewhere near Chicago, but I just cannot picture the logistics working. There is an area south of here that I think would be great, but no real place for track events. The city would not work. There are a couple of drag strips in the surrounging area, but nothing near them. With this being said, if anyone wants us to explore Illinois as an option, shout out. If anyone needs help hosting it at an alternate venue, and that help can be done over the phone, via e-mail or the web, let me know. I would love to help make this event continue.
