Gustav impacts convention

3:30 p.m. Minneapolis time:

Lynne and I just returned from the Minnesota State Fair to the news that Monday's session of the Republican National Convention will be abbreviated in light of Hurricane Gustav and that other changes may be made to the schedule for the rest of the week.

At 5 p.m. tonight, the Connecticut delegation will be meeting to attend, as a group, Civic Fest. At that time, I assume we will be briefed on schedule changes from our delegation leaders.

Everyone we have spoken with is keeping the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in their thoughts and hoping that the area will not be hit as severely as the weather maps suggest.

When I know more, I will update. We did very much enjoy visiting the Minnesota State Fair, somewhat similar in nature to our region's "Big E."
