They can also be great fun.
This photo was taken outside Lackawanna College's student union building the morning of the November 7 Donald Trump rally. We got there early and got a close parking space that reduced, a little, the amount of cable we had to string to the inside of the building.
We parked near NBC. The satellite truck operator was a great guy, filled with stories about covering the campaign, covering overseas conflicts, living and working in New York.
It's another part of the "mass event" fun. You see some old friends, who are now working in other cities. You also get to swap war stories with new ones.
