To lighten the mood today:
We did a thing with the story on the giant teddy bear sprinting onto an Air Force base. https://t.co/7yxgNjxI60 pic.twitter.com/CFRB12Q3YQ

The Air Force may have called the incident a training exercise, but a Build-A-Bear on steroids made waves on social media this week after strolling up to the Sheppard Air Force Base entrance and blessing the gate guards with a hodgepodge of heaven-sent dance moves before making a break for the bare necessities of base access and a life of aiming high.
“Wherever I wander, wherever I roam. I couldn’t be fonder of my big home.”
Unfortunately, Mark Wahlberg’s thunder buddy for life didn’t wander very far onto the Wichita Falls, Texas, installation before drawing unwanted attention.
After finishing a dance traditionally accepted as a greeting in stuffed bear culture, the adorable teddy took off, nimbly weaving through traffic barriers and cones with the grace of a thousand ancient Mesopotamian belly dancers before graciously moving onto the sidewalk to avoid blocking traffic.
Stunned to the point of paralysis by the bear jig, a transfixed guard eventually snapped out of the bear dance trance as the teddy dashed down the road.
You must click over to watch the video for a good giggle.
Take care of yourself today.
I had a good conversation with a campaign aide for CO4 and it helped take the edge off. Karen McCormack is in an impossible race, but we are going to fight for her. Thanks to PostCard Patriots for pointing me in the right direction to be as helpful as I can be.
