Mrs. Bukko cried, but she does that a lot, especially down here.<BR/><BR/>My motivation, aside from seeing Obama speak, was just in case <B>THERE WAS A BLINDING FLASH OF LIGHT!</B> and because we were having hot dogs with homemade chili, cheese, chopped onions and French's yellow mustard, in honour of Chicago-style dogs from Hopey's hometown. And champagne. Great stuff before sunrise.
