While all eyes were riveted (sort of) on the Michelle Obama plane landing saga, the ‘almost First Lady’ Liz was in a much<\/em> more precarious situation today in Tallahassee, Florida. \u00a0 We travel in two camper \/ campaign vehicles. \u00a0 And over the CB this morning, I heard: \u00a0 “Honey, when I was just turning the wheel, there was a rather loud ‘clunk,’<\/em> (using her best NPR<\/strong> Click & Clack <\/strong>‘clunk’ sound, if you will). \u00a0 Do you think that means anything?” \u00a0 I radioed back for her to stop, then I got in and, after turning the wheel once, determined it was, indeed, a ‘clunk’<\/em> sound. \u00a0 And off to Fountain Automotive<\/strong> we drove, slowly<\/em>. \u00a0 The mechanic there, “Spot,” was able to spot (sorry) that the clunking sound was coming from the frame — which had cracked. \u00a0 Not good, we all agreed, including Spot. \u00a0 (It’s a 1978 vehicle.) Spot, who \u00a0couldn’t have been more helpful, didn’t have a welder that could do the job, but there was, wouldn’t you know, Tallahassee’s “Portable Welder” Robert Smith, who promptly stopped by and fixed the frame in an hour, including giving our Joseph a welding lesson. \u00a0 While welding, Robert’s arm got burned by a spark. \u00a0 I asked if he was OK? He said he’d had worse. \u00a0 That is, his arm had been scarred with 2nd and 3rd degree burns when a fuel tank blew up during the First Gulf War. \u00a0 The kids were rapt with his stories and afterward we thanked him, not only for fixing the vehicle, but for serving our country. \u00a0 Absolutely fascinating guy. \u00a0 Then it was on to the Gulf Coast this evening for the first anniversary of the Deep Water Horizon oil rig blow out…<\/p>\n
