(An email from a Texan)
This is why America will remain strong. We take care of our own as well as others who may not deserve taking care of. I just wanted to share with you all that out of a horrible tragedy we were blessed by so many people.
Chris Kyle was Derek’s teammate through 10 years of training and battle. They both suffer/suffered from PTSD to some extent and took great care of each other because of it.
2006 in Ramadi was horrible for young men that never had any more aggressive physical contact with another human than on a Texas football field. They lost many friends. Chris became the armed services number #1 sniper of all time. Not something he was happy about, other than the fact that in so doing, he saved a lot of American lives.
Three years ago, his wife Taya asked him to leave the SEAL teams as he had a huge bounty on his head by Al Qaeda. He did and wrote the book “The American Sniper.” 100% of the proceeds from the book went to two of the SEAL families who had lost their sons in Iraq .
That was the kind of guy Chris was. He formed a company in Dallas to train military, police and I think firemen as far as protecting themselves in difficult situations. He also formed a foundation to work with military people suffering from PTSD. Chris was a giver not a taker.
He, along with a friend and neighbor, Chad Littlefield, were murdered trying to help a young man that had served six months in Iraq and claimed to have PTSD.
Now I need to tell you about all of the blessings. Southwest Airlines flew in any SEAL and their family from any airport they flew in the family: ‘Verdana’, … free of charge. The employees donated buddy passes and one lady worked for four days without much of a break to see that it happened. Volunteers were at both airports in Dallas to drive them to the hotel. The Marriott Hotel reduced their rates to $45 a night and cleared the hotel for only SEALs and family.
The Midlothian, TX Police Department paid the $45 a night for each room. I would guess there were about 200 people staying at the hotel, 100 of them were SEALs. Two large buses were chartered (an unknown donor paid the bill) to transport people to the different events and they also had a few rental cars (donated). The police and secret service were on duty 24 hours during the stay at our hotel. At the Kyle house, the Texas DPS parked a large motor home in front to block the view from reporters. It remained there the entire five days for the SEALs to congregate in and all to use the restroom so as not to have to go in the house. Taya, their two small children and both sets of parents were staying in the home.
Only a hand full of SEALs went into the home as they had different duties and meetings were held sometimes on a hourly basis. It was a huge coordination of many different events and security. Derek was assigned to be a Pall Bearer, to escort Chris’ body when it was transferred from the Midlothian Funeral Home to the Arlington Funeral Home, and to be with Taya. A tough job. Taya seldom came out of her bedroom. The house was full with people from the church and other family members that would come each day to help. I spent one morning in a bedroom with Chris’ mom and the next morning with Chad Littlefield’s parents (the other man murdered with Chris). A tough job.
George W Bush and his wife Laura met and talked to everyone on the Seal Team one on one. They went behind closed doors with Taya for quite a while. They had prayer with us all. You can tell when people were sincere and caring Nolan Ryan sent his cooking team, a huge grill and lots of steaks, chicken and hamburgers. They set up in the front yard and fed people all day long including the 200 SEALs and their families. The next day a local BBQ restaurant set up a buffet in front of the house and fed all once again. Food was plentiful and all were taken care of. The family’s church kept those inside the house well fed.
Jerry Jones, the man everyone loves to hate, was a rock star. He made sure that we all were taken care of. His wife and he were just making sure everyone was taken care of….Class… He donated the use of Cowboy Stadium for the services as it was determined that so many wanted to attend.
The charter buses transported us to the stadium on Monday at 10:30 am. Every car, bus, motorcycle was searched with bomb dogs and police. I am not sure if kooks were making threats trying to make a name for themselves or if so many SEALs in one place was a security risk, I don’t know. We willingly obliged. No purses went into the stadium!
We were taken to The Legends room high up and a large buffet was available. That was for about 300 people. We were growing. A Medal of Honor recipient was there, lots of secret service and police and Sarah Palin and her husband. She looked nice, this was a very formal military service.
The service started at 1:00 pm and when we were escorted onto the field I was shocked. We heard that about 10,000 people had come to attend also. They were seated in the stadium seats behind us. It was a beautiful and emotional service. The Bagpipe and drum corps were wonderful and the Texas A&M men’s choir stood through the entire service and sang right at the end. We were all in tears.
The next day was the 200-mile procession from Midlothian, TX to Austin for burial. It was a cold, drizzly, windy day, but the people were out. We had dozens of police motorcycles riders, freedom riders, five chartered buses and lots of cars. You had to have a pass to be in the procession and still it was huge. Two helicopters circled the procession with snipers sitting out the side door for protection. It was the longest funeral procession ever in the state of Texas. People were everywhere. The entire route was shut down ahead of us, the people were lined up on the side of the road the entire way. Firemen were down on one knee, police officers were holding their hats over their hearts, children waving flags, veterans saluting as we went by. Every bridge had fire trucks with large flags displayed from their tall ladders, people all along the entire 200 miles were standing in the cold weather. It was so heartwarming. Taya rode in the hearse with Chris’ body so Derek rode the route with us. I was so grateful to have that time with him.
The service was at Texas National Cemetery. Very few are buried there and you have to apply to get in. It is like people from the Civil War, Medal of Honor winners, a few from the Alamo and all the historical people of Texas. It was a nice service and the Freedom Riders surrounded the outside of the entire cemetery to keep the crazy church people from Kansas that protest at military funerals away from us.
Each SEAL put his Trident (metal SEAL badge) on the top of Chris’ casket, one at a time. A lot hit it in with one blow. Derek was the only one to take four taps to put his in and it was almost like he was caressing it as he did it. Another tearful moment.
After the service Governor Rick Perry and his wife, Anita, invited us to the governor’s mansion. She stood at the door, greeted each of us individually, and gave each of the SEALs a coin of Texas. She was a sincere, compassionate, and gracious hostess.
We were able to tour the ground floor and then went into the garden for beverages and BBQ. So many of the Seal team guys said that after they get out they are moving to Texas. They remarked that they had never felt so much love and hospitality. The charter buses then took the guys to the airport to catch their returning flights. Derek just now called and after a 20 hour flight he is back in his spot, in a dangerous land on the other side of the world, protecting America.
We just wanted to share with you, the events of a quite emotional, but blessed week.
To this day, no one in the White House has ever acknowledged Chris Kyle. However, the President can call some sport person and congratulate him on announcing to the world that he is gay. (end of letter)
And as of today, 15, January, 2015, the President just released four more hardcore terrorists from Guantanamo back to Yemen. This is where the orders originated to attack the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, in Paris. They were released to Yemen despite the high terrorist activity there and the recidivism rate there.
After reading the above I wondered, what kind of patriotic gestures has California done recently? Suddenly it came mind, the morons in SF turned away the great battleship USS Missouri from being birthed in S.F. After being rejected the Navy sent it on to Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, where it now serves as a floating museum.
Thank you Texan and Post Scripts for that. “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History” has been placed on my to get list.
Clint Eastwood, of course, is being savaged by the left for his film “American Sniper” which is based on Chris Kyle’s autobiography. I never go to theaters anymore. I haven’t been to a movie theater in two decades, but when Eastwood’s film is released on optical disk I’ll be picking that up too.
The USS Iowa was also rejected by the liberals who run Marx Francisco. It now resides in Los Angeles.
Idiots.
That has to be the creepiest thing I’ve ever read.
And incoherent.
We know who Chris is. Who’s Derek?
And I have to say that a truly American glee over comps, perks, and per diem pervades most of the letter … and is just a little bit sick-making. They could all be lawyers.
The nation’s done.
Burnt to a crisp over eight years of the Democrat controlled Congress and six years of total Democrat control…it could be buried under the weight of Obamacare and banking, immigration, and EPA regulations and policy alone.
And most of the comps and perks were privately donated. No need for you to “pony up.”
The IRS is being barraged with questions and has no answers for the people who need and are willing to file returns.
Yeah you guys really showed us!
Off Topic:
I have had a belly full of Islam and the specious and vile left-wing harpies who frequent this blog. Now for something completely different.
I worked in high energy physics laboratories for 10 year of my life. Without a doubt the proudest years of my life.
PBS Nova is airing Big Bang Machine. This is now old news but this documentary is an outstanding look into the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) search for the Higgs Boson. When I was working in physics, the proof of the existence of the standard model theoretical intermediate vector boson, the exchange energy/particle bundle that mediates weak and electro-weak nuclear forces was discovered. That was a huge deal way back then.
The discovery of the Higgs boson (emerging and decaying from the Higgs field and thus demonstrating the field actually exists) is an enormous advancement in the science of everything, physics.
For those who have not seen it, I highly recommend this Nova documentary.
Everything of modern civilization is the result of basic physics research. In that I include chemistry, which is a specialized branch of physics. From refrigeration to coal tar derivatives to the Hubble space telescope. This is hard science folks, not the soft bs of politics and the menagerie of predatory animals it produces.

By the way, Northern California was one of the sites researched to become the home of the Large Hadron Collider which was eventually sited in France under the auspices of CERN.
GUESS WHY!!!!!
Try the roadblocks from California EPA.
I haven’t seen Clint Eastwood “savaged” by the left. I have seen some argue that he could have included more about Kyle’s more wild claims and problematic statements from his book, and criticized the movie for portraying him as more of a straightforward hero when in reality he was more complicated than that. But most seem to be acknowledging that Kyle was suffering from severe PTSD and that his dehumanizing of the enemy was somewhat understandable given his job.
Pie at #6, the wizards of smart are so incredibly stupid and delusional.
What do you want to bet that all of those EPA regs will just be ignored for the bullet train toy elitist left Californians just have to have!
I guess we have to completely collapse before these nuts will even wake up to, “What happened?” Even then they will have some excuse, blame everyone but themselves. Sad.
It’s that vile harpy, again … and the internet is a wonderful thing.
From the California Institute of Technology’s “Science & Engineering, Winter 1995:
The effort was successful, but early in 1993 Washington insiders were saying that, with a new Congress and a new administration in office, the prospects of the SSC’s surviving another year were problematic. Voters had sent 113 new members to the House, refreshing more than a quarter of that body, with the message to cut spending. President Bill Clinton reiterated a campaign endorsement of the SSC, but his first budget called for stretching out the project by an additional three years-a ploy that would reduce its annual cost bur raise the total to almost $11 billion, according to a report from the General Accounting Office, in May 1993, which declared the SSC behind schedule and already over budget.
In the House, now as in 1992, the SSC faced unremitting opposition from its chief critic, Sherwood Boehlert, a moderate Republican of independent mind and pungent tongue from the Oneida district in upstate New York. The year before, he had derided the SSC as a medley of endlessly increasing costs, threats to other sciences, and unwarranted predictions of spinoffs for competitiveness, declaring, “Contrary to all the hype, the SSC will not cure cancer, will not provide a solution to the problem of malepattern baldness, and will not guarantee a World Series victory for the Chicago Cubs.”
On June 24,1993, Boehlert and Jim Slattery, a middle-of the-road Democrat from Topeka, Kansas, introduced an appropriations amendment to slay the SSC once and for all, with Boehlert summarily averring, “In short, the costs are immediate, real, uncontrolled, and escalating; the benefits are distant, theoretical, and limited. You don’t have to be an atomic scientist to figure how that calculation works out. We can’t afford the SSC right now.”
The defense of the SSC was led by Waxahachie’s congressman, Joe Barton, a smart, archconservative Republican, who in 1992 had spearheaded an unsuccessful fight for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. (This prompted Congressman Lawrence J. Smith, an outspoken liberal Democrat from Florida and an enemy of the SSC, to gibe that Barton, the budget balancer, was “obviously a contortionist, being on two opposite sides of fiscal policy at the same time.”) Barton’s case was strengthened by allies from California, hard hit by defense cutbacks, and nearby districts in Texas, who pointed out that the SSC had already provided hundreds of millions of dollars for defense conversion, creating thousands of jobs and awarding some 20,000 contracts to businesses in most states of the Union, more than 10 percent of them to firms owned by women or members of minority groups.

And on and on and on it goes. Horribly familiar. But none of it bearing any resemblance at all to that highly partisan, prejudiced, ignorant and imaginary realm you inhabit.
And this is why the Europeans have both Universal Healthcare AND a Super Collider!
Libby, I can’t speak for anyone other than myself, but as a person of strong conservative convictions sprinkled with a few minor but moderate, left of center convictions, I would never have opposed this sort of science as a legislator.
In my REAL world, not the one you imagine for me, I believe we can’t afford [not] to fund this kind of cutting edge technology. I believe the greater good is served by focusing our massive resources into things that facilitate the expansion of knowledge and spend much less on the care and maintenance of people who made a life-long choice not to contribute anything and take whatever they can.
It’s a good thing I’m not King…because there would be a lot of empty prison cells by tomorrow and a whole lot of corrections officers seeking new employment. The term “career criminal” would only be found in the history books.
Pie, off topic, but thanks for bringing us the information about NOVA’s Big Bang Machine.
I envy your lab experience with high energy. Talk about being on the bloody edge of science…wow!
Unfortunately, I was not exposed to this wonderful technology until I was way too old to do anything with it. In my senior years I have taken a couple of entry level physics classes just for fun AND THEY WERE TOO!
Thanks to this kind of science (colliders) potential for some amazing future discovery by a young kid somewhere in the world is mind bending.
Libby, don’t be so sour, it’s not good for you.
Think of this story like a Rorschach test. Healthy minds on the right see this story mostly about love, generosity, caring, empathy and pride.
Then there’s you on the left, seeing it only as a signal the nation is done. Seeing it as sickening, and something creepy. You see it as incoherent and greedy sounding. Wow…this is troubling Libs.
What a huge divide in the way we see things! If there is anything that will hurt this great nation its this depressing leftwing thinking that constantly has you attacking the healthy, optimistic, and realistic side.
We’re here to help you get over this pathology, but our healing powers are only so great, you have to make an effort too!
“What do you want to bet that all of those EPA regs will just be ignored for the bullet train toy elitist left Californians just have to have!”
Ha! No bet.
Re #12 Post Scripts: I don’t know the details but it would not surprise me that the CA EPA is getting their pound of flesh out of this train project. This is how government works, every bureaucracy competes for its share of taxpayer lucre.
The more money you get and spend, the more money you can demand the next fiscal year.
The physics projects I worked on were government funded. In my experience — more than once — at the end of the fiscal year there would be surplus. We were all given the word to spend like hell so that we could show that the funds were spent and that a case of asking for more could be made to Congress.
At one time I had at least five roll-arounds of tools in my section and a two Quonset huts packed with everything from stepper motors to vacuum pumps to photon detectors to recording oscilloscopes. (All of which was eventually deployed.) And that was just me. The machine shops and mechanical technicians went wild.
I wasn’t complaining. It is nice to have the tool or a piece of equipment you need or a to do a job without having to go begging from a friend on another project for a loan.
This is the way it works when dealing with government, but governments or a collection of governments are the only entities that can fund such expensive research. Hence CERN and the Large Hadron Collider are funded by many governments.
Every aspect of our modern lives is the result of basic research in hard science. Even the keyboard on which I type. It is really quite marvelous. God (if there is one) made quite a remarkable species when he made us.
Libby: “And this is why the Europeans have both Universal Healthcare AND a Super Collider!”
Actually No! What they have is a failing health care system as they enter their third recession since the crash! But don’t let the whole truth spoil your fantasies. As for the Super Collider, as Pie pointed out, it is a multi-national project so you can’t credit “socialism” for what scientists imagined.
Our government has plenty to spend, always wants more, wastes more than we can possibly imagine, often can;t account for billions, and then has the gall to wonders why the middle class is disappearing.
There’s smart government spending and stupid government spending.
Pie what benefits do you envision coming from this project that make it worthy of smart government spending?
I didn’t see American Sniper today, though I wanted to. It’s better for me if I wait for a time when the theater is less crowded and believe me today it was packed if the parking was any indication. I saw Unbroken instead, an incredibly moving film.
Some critics do savage the movie, Eastwood, and America. Snide invective intrudes in a Time Review:
Richard Corliss doesn’t come right out and say Eastwood and Cooper have glorified Kyle when they should have portrayed him as an assassin like Lee Harvey Oswald but he certainly suggests it.
A mostly positive review that praises Eastwood for his “finest directorial effort since Gran Torino” is a “savaging” just because it points out that Chris Kyle in real life was a lot more complex than the movie portrays?
Can you handle even the most mild criticism of someone you admire?
“Richard Corliss doesn’t come right out and say Eastwood and Cooper have glorified Kyle when they should have portrayed him as an assassin like Lee Harvey Oswald but he certainly suggests it.”
In context it seems to me that Corliss comes much closer to saying that Eastwood was right to ignore Kyle’s more unsavory aspects and that it makes for a better film this way.
The wife and I went and saw American Sniper last night in Chico. We didn’t get there early enough so had to watch a later showing (the line was packed) but it was worth the wait.
Chris Kyle was a hero. Not the kind that wins a superbowl or gets elected and then has a highway named after himself. He was the kind of hero that gave of himself to help others. He was troubled not by the burden he took on himself, but by the fact that he couldn’t help more.
He became an inspiration for the troops around him, and they felt safer knowing he was there watching over them. When he finally got out and came home, he continued to give of his time, visiting VA centers and spending time with wounded warriors, many of whom suffered PTSD.
He stayed strong in his beliefs and patriotism. At several points in the movie others around him questioned theirs, giving him pause, but he remained faithful to his mission. War is hell and it disillusions, but he had a strong soul.
As I said the theatre was packed, every seat sold out. I was worried at first that young men in attendance were just there to see an action flick filled with sniper kills, but this wasn’t that movie. It was a hard look at the life of someone who was out there protecting, all of us, and living with the impacts on his soul. God gave America Chris Kyle, and in the end, He called him back home. We were blessed to have him for a while, and that’s the point I took away from it.
I did notice a few vets in the room with us. Not a lot of dry eyes there. Thank God for them too. No matter your political beliefs about the war in the middle east, these guys gave their all fighting evil and protecting us. They deserve your respect.
At the end of the movie they showed real footage of the funeral motorcade for Kyle. The highway leading to the stadium for the service was lined with people waving flags and signs in support of this man. Texas is one of the last great bastions of real patriotism and support of our troops. God bless them too.
Hollywood doesn’t get a whole lot right, but this time they did. It’s worth seeing and deciding how you feel about it yourself.
Steve, Shari and I are going to see it today at 2:30, (she says to say hi to Angela for her). We’re both looking forward to watching it. Clint does a pretty good job of making realistic movies. Glad to hear you liked it.
‘American Sniper’ Star Bradley Cooper Just Received Three Huge Stamps of Approval for His Portrayal of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle:

Going in the middle of the week when the lines will be down.
Chris at #17, I hope you’re right. But I see no reason to bring the murderers of JFK into the review unless you’re just hoping to make points with an anti-gun, anti-military crowd.
That’s me…tough beans.
Steve thank you so much for a wonderful review. I will see it when the crowds thin out and look forward to it even more because of what you’ve written.
I have to say I do look forward to seeing this movie. I loved Gran Torino and I think Eastwood as a director usually does a good job of portraying complex heroes in his films. The trailer was stunning. And I think the movie has started an important conversation on Kyle’s legacy. I think it’s really clear that the guy was suffering from intense PTSD and he made a lot of statements and claims that were pretty crazy. But he also kept trying to help other vets suffering from the same condition until his last day, and that is worthy of respect.
I do not believe anyone of us can fathom the discipline of a sniper, unless you were one.
His wasn’t always the story of Seal team six or Rangers, he functioned in a world of self sacrifice, in a hostel jungle
Each snipers deployment they face the possibility of capture, torture or death, on each and every mission. Realizing they could die or bring a faster conclusion to the fight they serve in. They were as hunted as the those they were assigned to hunt.
The one sniper I new personally would never discuss the kills, never mentioned the count until the day of his passing, and then, only when pressed for a answer. He just talked of positive effects of the duty, mostly as he envisioned them to be.
We also talked what it was like to be on ones own, alone, in territory where you had no advantage of support. It is truly naked survival.
Exiting on training and pure discipline as venomous creatures crawled over your motionless form, starving yourself for days, so you don’t have the need to eliminate and give away your position. Taking hours or days to secure an advance position of mere meters, Being assigned to fire camp after fire camp, and never having a close bond with anyone.
Their job took a special type of mental discipline, skill and a driven commitment to serve their country and their own.
God bless their duty to country, and service to us.
Harold a fine tribute and one for which I agree 100%.
And may I (regretfully) add that Michael Moore is an ignorant offensive menace, as are others of his ilk.
His tweet, that his uncle was killed by a sniper and that snipers are “cowards” is outrageous enough but his ignorant comment that “invaders” are worse denigrates the service of his uncle and he doesn’t even realize it. I wonder, has he ever heard about D-Day?
This headline might be what has left Hollywood wringing their hands. From Breitbart: “Every Seat, Every Show, Every Theater: SOLD OUT – American Sniper – Record Breaking Box Office Smash Hit”
The already record smashing box office of $90 million is now projected to possibly hit $150 million for the full holiday weekend. Speilberg’s “Avatar” record ($68.5 million) has already been smashed.
Compare this hit movie to the twisted movie called Jarheads which was a flop. I walked out finding the movie disgusting and disrespectful to Marines. Jarhead the movie was Hollywood’s stupid idea of what the Marine Corp must be like Iraq. They characterized them as unprofessional, immature, overly emotional, virtually crazy, and it was all conjured up from their sick minds, with no basis in reality. The Jarhead movie sucked and yet it could have been a box office sellout just like Sniper, if only Hollywood was not so obsessed about making the Marines look so asinine and blood thirsty. They just had to put their leftist politics into the movie and people rightly hated it. I think if they had not tricked a lot of people into seeing by the its title and posing about our USMC it would not have gotten any sales.
I agree with this Ranger. Michael Moore isn’t worth my breath to respond to his tweet. Nor are his movies he made/makes because of men like Chris Kyle worth my time and money.

Re #27 Peggy: Like I noted above, the left is already trashing American Sniper, Clint Eastwood, and Chris Kyle.
The first article slamming all I saw was in the left-wing UK paper The Guardian. I am collecting …
Jack: “They characterized them as unprofessional, immature, overly emotional, virtually crazy, and it was all conjured up from their sick minds, with no basis in reality”
Actually, you seem to be the one doing the conjuring. The movie Jarhead was based on a memoir of the same name by a former Marine. Apparently the movie is pretty faithful to the depiction of Marine life in the book.
Jarhead was crap. It disgusted me not only for what it said about our young men, barely beyond boyhood, who sign on to serve and risk their lives for us, but the fact that it also builds disrespect and distrust for AMERICA.
Jarhead will continue to send out the ugly American characiture you articulated so well Jack, unprofessional, immature, overly emotional, virtually crazy…and wrong…out into the world for generations!
Hollywood has come a long way since the “Golden Days” and the great WWII movies. I hope movies like this one…and the success they have at the box office will let film makers know what the American people think when they produce garbage films that disrespect the young men who fight and die for our liberty and for others around the world living in tyranny. I also hope it renews the view that if we are going to wage war we had better be in it to totally defeat the enemy!
Hey, Chris hates Marines and finds the horrid, twisted representations of them delightful. Others do not.
Chris has chosen his side and I have chosen my side, have you chosen yours?
Who do you think the people who dedicate their lives to protect this country are? Chris or Marines?
Re #31 Tina: Damn straight, sister.
Pie: “Hey, Chris hates Marines and finds the horrid, twisted representations of them delightful. Others do not.”
Hey, Pie just makes up crap about me and finds his horrid, twisted representations of people he disagrees with delightful! Others do not.
I never expressed an opinion on the movie “Jarhead” or its depiction of Marines, because I have not seen the movie. I was simply correcting Jack’s factual error about the origin of the movie.
But Pie can’t handle that, because he is obsessed with me.
Kaboom! This sniper just nailed More.

Re #34: Poor Chris, he cannot even stand up for what he stands for. Nice try at weasel wording.
“Obsessed” 😀 LMAO. Poor Chris, the magnificent one, who is obsessed with himself and obsessed with denigrating the good folks of Post Scripts thinks it is all about him.
Well, maybe it is … when the obnoxious mean little kid demands attention, Post Scripts snaps to attention!
I am still rolling my eyes over Chris’ “Jack Is A Bigot” thing. You folks really sucked up to that ludicrous crap. Face it, Chris owns you.
Just got home from seeing American Sniper. Never been to such a powerful movie where everyone is absolutely silent at the end. It should win every Academy nomination. To bad Eastwood wasn’t nominated for best director.
Peggy was the theater still packed?
Pie: “I am still rolling my eyes over Chris’ “Jack Is A Bigot” thing. You folks really sucked up to that ludicrous crap. Face it, Chris owns you.”
Nobody owns me buster. Maybe you should look to your own experience.
By the way, your contribution for Friday is ready to post about 5:30 AM. Thanks, and, you’re welcome.
Pie: “I am still rolling my eyes over Chris’ “Jack Is A Bigot” thing.”
That’s weird. Everyone else has moved on.
No Tina, there was about 40 people. We went to the 4pm XD show with the wall to wall screen, high definition sound, and brand new comfy leather seats. Well worth the extra change.
Peggy I saw the movie this afternoon and the theater was nearly filled. Wish the time for the XD showing had worked for us it sounds great!
Humm, wonder if the higher cost put people off. There was no one sitting in the seats in the lower section below the walkway when I went.
My son went for the second time and saw it with a large group of Chico firefighters yesterday too. They spent the morning at the rifle range went to lunch before going to the afternoon show. They wore awesome “Legend” shirts. Want one!!
