Chrome Thunder







If you couldn’t get an appointment with your M.D, attorney, or dentist, this week, it may be that they are here. Even your pastor may be missing from the pulpit. The vehicle of choice of Franklin Graham and Rod Parsley is on parade in Daytona. It is Bike Week.

We came in with NASCAR. We are leaving during Bike Week. 500,000 bikers attend this largest bike event in the world. Over the last few days, the traffic has increased, most of it being motorcycles. The Daytona Speedway is filled with vendors and displays. The streets are filled with “chrome thunder” which drowns out the noise of the surf.
We drove to the Tampa area today and will stay here a week. Of interest is a NASA meeting on the 6th which will determine if the launch date will be set for the 12th.
