MamaJD just sent this photo via phone from inside the garden center at Fred Meyer, where people have been waiting all night to get their Sarah Palin’s book autographed.
MamaJD: Everyone is in good friendly spirits. There is a cameraderie going that is
hard to describe. I stopped in to bring some egg mcmuffins, coffee and hand warmers to a friend. Saw quite a few people but not the “typical” crowd. I barely recognized my next door neighbor she was so bundled up! My dentist’s office manager, a guy from the Marine Corps League. Saw a few kids with parents. People in line are looking out for one another, saving spots and taking turns to walk inside to warm up. Very friendly group but I still wouldn’t dare try to cut into that line.

Looks like a good time to go to Wal-Mart, would be no one there. Hey would also be a good time to hit the DMV no lines no waiting.
