Do you remember the freeper Budge? I haven't heard from him in a long time, but once the two of us somehow ended up getting left behind after some nightime Freep at the WH, and we walked home together in the dark.
He kept telling me we were perfectly safe, as the two hooks he had to use for hands were very sharp weapons!
Oh--I have so many wonderful memories of all the freeps I attended--especially those big rallies in DC.
We owe so much to da Man by the name of JimRob!
I haven’t heard from Budge (Bloodhound/tainted blood threads)in a while, and our friend T’wit passed away. The one I *really* miss is Uncle Bill who posted the most scathing articles on the Clintons during the 1997-2000 period.
Meeting so many FReepers in DC my very first trip there was awesome!
Basil, that "midnight walk" to sit on the Capitol steps, to marvel at the beauty is a memory I'll treasure always!
We walked from the Senators Grill (Or is it called 'Bar?') sometime well after dark. Wonderful! T'wit, God rest his soul, laughed so hard that night. Then I went running outside to meet The Jim Robinson, and actually helped carry in some luggage. LOL
I had a lot of the people there sign a book I had brought (Can't remember the author's name right now, but he had worked for a government agency and spoke at the rally. Hey, cut me some slack, I'm getting elderly and my memory leaks a lot!)
I'm still around, and log onto FR daily. Been here officially since March 29, 1998, but lurked a long time before that.
