That they’re not letting people in tomorrow until 5 pm. They seem to be tweaking the schedule.

He’s going to chicken out because
1) No crowd
2) Heat

He will blame #2 and some kind of “they” for not “letting” him do it.

It’s almost 5pm and 100 degrees here in Fairfax with humidity in the forties. Really, nobody should be out in this weather, especially not kids and the elderly.

and put it on line....not that I will watch it.
It is dangerously hot out there - for any of you not experiencing it.
I would hate for any children to be harmed merely for having ignorant parents.

The heat is brutal and deadly.

They clearly don't have a good understanding of what " lots of people" would look like.
