Even Drenching Rain Can't Wash Us Out

Here's the scene:

The Naples installment of the Children's Movement of Florida's Milk Party rally tour is just about ready to start. And it's pouring outside. Just absolutely teeming.

Yet, people are filing in, wet but determined. So, we wait a few extra minutes before starting.

And...shazam! We fill 500 seats, virtually all we have.

Thank you, Naples. Thank you for adding your voices to those we've heard all the way down the state from Pensacola.

We are closing in on 10,000 Milk Party participants.

Amazing. Just, amazing.

Next stop: West Palm Beach at 6 p.m. Thursday. The Harriet Himmel Theater at CityPlace. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. See you there.
