RNC, part two

We're still two days away, assuming that Gustave doesn't make them cancel. But everyone is ready. The merchants are ready...

(This merchant might have gotten mixed up as to which convention was here.)

The cabbies are ready...

(You never see this many cabs in downtown Saint Paul.
You never really see any cabs in downtown Saint Paul.)

The national press is ready ... (this is the MSNBC stage, being set up in Rice Park, under the watchful eye of F. Scott Fitzgerald):

The hotels are ready...

And the cops are ready. Oh, boy, are the cops ready.

What a great gig for the Coast Guard.
Go cruising up and down the Mississippi River on a quiet beautiful August Saturday night.

Charlie Brown just watches the whole thing unfold with amazement.
