Spring was in the air as we gathered to support the troops and President Bush on the corner of Shaw & Blackstone.

Present for the rally were:

Jim, Sheila, and Chris Robinson,

Chadsworth, Ladyinred, Enterprise, JustAmy, and Notpoliticallycorewrecked.

The traffic was very light due to it being Good Friday, but the honks in support of the troops were numerous.

We had one gentleman that stopped by to support our troops and visited with Jim and Enterprise for a short time. I did not catch his name, but he was much nicer that the other visitors that came by.

A group of teenagers on their way to catching the bus decided to engage us in some lively debate about the war in Iraq. The discussion went hot and heavy for about 30 minutes. They finally decided that they were going to miss their bus if they stayed any longer and left.

After that experience it was quiet except for the honking of the horns in support of the troops and Sheila's music to keep us motivated.

Chadworth worked the crowd with his famous layered message board. He also provided our rally with a HUGE pair of flip-flops to let the Kerry crowd know what to expect from their candidate in the future.

It was a great Freep with good friends and great weather.

JustAmy and Chadsworth both took pictures during the rally. Chadsworth promised that he would be posting pictures once I got the thread up.

[Jim Robinson]

Great meeting you, Enterprise!

We intended to be there but something came up at the last minute that foiled our plans. We'll try for next time.

Ping me to the photos. :-)

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Okay Chads, get out of those goooey brownies and get over here to post the pictures like you promised.

[Brad’s Gramma]

WHOO HOOOOO!!!! Pictures! Pictures! We need PICTURES!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

You are pinging the WRONG Freeper. Chads is the man with the flip-flops, I mean camera.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Whoops.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Dear Chadsworth, It has been reported that you have your face in the pan of brownies, the infamous brownies.

It is now time to come up for a breath of air and post the pictures.

Thank you.

Yers Trooley,

I am going over to the Freepathon threads to check on what you were talking about at dinner.

[ladyinred]

What you didn't say about our lively little teenybopper peaceniks, is that the young girl kept jabbing her finger in your face! Now luckily, I stayed away from the fray, because as I told you, I would have been inclined to bite it! LOL

Lovely evening, and lots of great support from the light traffic in spite of the media's attempt to turn the citizens against our war on terror!

Enterprise, it was wonderful having you with us tonight and we hope you will make a habit of it! We do have fun while at the same time showing how we support our troops and the USA!!!!

[ladyinred]

Who me? Gossip? I beg your pardon! (hee hee!) Have fun dear, I think you will!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

I'm baacckkk. You are correct. And you will have freepmail in just a minute.

[ladyinred]

We did miss you guys, and we had a good freep with lots of support. Sorry you weren't there, but you are forgiven. I am sure you didn't want to come and face Chad's and his brownie whining! :-)

[ladyinred]

You are correct.

Would I lie to you? :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Chad's and his brownie whining! :-)

LOL!....how do you put up with him??? ;-)

[chadsworth]

My message for John F'n Kerry

We want to welcome to our corner Mr. Enterprise. On his left is a friend of Jim's that stopped by.

The Mid-East Camel Spider. AS if our troops didn't have enough to worry about, they have to be concerned with these things. I did not realize there were spiders this large anywhere. Notpoliticallycorewrecked has some details about this thing since one of her friends was briefed prior to going to the Middle East.

(boy, what a string of letters just to have a screen name - I wonder what her password is like-Just kidding NPC)

[chadsworth]

ping for check out

[Brad’s Gramma]

With the exception of those SPIDERS!!!!........WHOO HOOOO!!!

EXCELLENT JOB, all of you!!!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

One of the funnier moments was when I told them how old they were. When I nailed every single one of their individual ages, they looked at me like I had been reading their mail.
