All Is Ready at Andrews

I am sitting next to Manoela and we are watching a live feed on the pool camera from Andrews Air Force Base. Manoela is using the internet to connect both to Vinicius Adamo at Andrews and the TV production staff in Cachoeira Paulista Brazil. This enables then to ensure the live feed goes well in their broadcast from Andrews to Cachoeira Paulista and from there world wide via their satellite network.

The Air Force band is practicing in anticipation of the Pope’s arrival. I am sure it must be tense on Andrews, not for security reasons, but POTUS is also there, and everything must be spitshined when he is present, I assume. I say that from my experience in the Navy. Never met POTUS while in the Navy and the Pope was in Boston while I was in the Phillipines. But we did meet the Vice President in Hong Kong, on board the Kitty Hawk. You may remember him, his name was Mondale.
