BOCA RATON GETS READY FOR THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE TOMORROW AT LYNN UNIVERSITY

     Judy and I live just a mile or two from Lynn University, which was selected to host the third and last of the Obama vs. Romney debates. This media event will help to put Lynn U. on the map and possibly boost Boca’s image (and also cause massive traffic tie-ups as the Secret Service shuts things down to protect the candidates). 

That's Judy in the side-view mirror taking the photo.

Death takes a holiday tomorrow

     We took a drive today this morning, Sunday, to scout out the area around Lynn and found that the main artery leading to the school, Military Trail, from Yamato south for about a mile, plus side streets, will be closed tomorrow from 6 a.m. for 18 hours causing all of the businesses along or near this highly traveled street to shutter for the day. You can’t even get buried tomorrow at the Gardens Mausoleum because it will close and be off limits to the dead and live alike.

      We continued to take pictures from our car but my camera's battery soon died and we had to return home to recharge it before heading out again after lunch. The one other picture I did manage to snap in the morning was this one of a car that we saw a man drive up onto the grass and then walk hurriedly away from it. I only caught a glimpse of him. He looked like one of the Koch brothers, but I couldn’t be sure. 

  

FIRE THE SOCIALIST

 By the time we returned after lunch the car was gone. IT’s BECOME A POLICE STATE!

     The driver was probably back on his jet sitting with his brother and drinking champagne and eating caviar.

      Or then again maybe the sign was placed by a male acquaintance of the maid who met Strauss-Kahn when he was in the mood for Room Service.

We soon noticed that Romney/Ryan support team had done a much better job of lining the street with signs for their candidates. This doesn’t bode well for Obama/Biden to win Florida. The Supreme Court judges don’t have to worry about being called in to save the day again.

2,100 students get the day off

 Lynn's estimated price tag for hosting the debate is $5 million. In the past year, a new front entrance, a new perimeter road, and a new back entrance have been completed to ready the school for the biggest event its 50-year history. It’s just like Judy sprucing up our home just before we’re giving a party and it costs just a little less.

The Sun-Sentinel reported that up to 6,000 media personnel (and their myriad TV trucks) are expected in town for the debate. It should be a shot in the arm for our economy.

Just for the record Lynn U. is named after philanthropist Eugene Lynn whose generous charitable works have been continued by his wife Christine. There are two coincidences in this story. First, I have been getting treated for my lymphoma at the Lynn Cancer Center, a part of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital and second, and equally important is the fact that the Gardens Mausoleum, which I related was closing for the day, is one of the places I mention in my last book, “The Adventures Of A Free Lunch Junkie”. I related how I went there for a free lunch, but got served only a meager tuna sandwich, and even this was ruined as the “hostess” who showed me around the crypts pointed out the names of people she knew I had known.
