Oh no it looks like a killer dog. I bet the dog can kill a bowl of food in seconds.

[Angelwood]

I love your "alert watchdog" outside your pool area! LOL I'm sure he'll be a bundle of energy by the time Saturday arrives after all that rest.

Your pool looks very inviting. Please make sure my husband and I are on your list of attendees.

I can't wait.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

I was not told that you had a vicious, liberal-biting, attack dog. I'm coming anyway as your dog looks cute. I am afraid of harpoons, so will stay away from the water.

[Taxman]

Thanks for the ping, Bill. Unfortunately, I'll not be able to join you. I'll be in Jackson, MI with Victim of Circumstances, Abner, the US Flag and Patriot Hot Air Balloons showing the colors and doing our patriotism thing.

Y'all have a good time. Take lots of pictures, please.

[Jeff Gordon Fan]

Hey I'm up At Penn State University doing a Summer Study program sorry I can't make it. This weekend we had trips planned either visit other colleges in DC or upstate NY. Since I live down there I'm going to NY of course, but if you see a bunch of 14-17 year-olds yelling at the ball game its most likely my group because the people goign to DC get a free ticket to the game. Oh well. Be safe and have fun.

[BillF]

Take lots of pictures, please.

Only with permission of subjects. Sorry that you can't make it.

[Exit148]

I'll also be away, Bill --- in Colorado.

Fido looks like he needs a friend, but after your bash, he will cherish his solitude and peace!!

Hope to read a report whilst the festivities are ongoing! Have fun!

[Xthe17th]

Thanks for the offer, but I've got Repub political action (membership & voter registration drive) meeting in the morning and then working from 2-11.

I know I needn't respond to this public announcement of the meeting/pool party, but I have a most important question to ask:

Does the guard dog have a tin-foil hat for the festivities, or do I need to make him one?

See you there!

[BillF]

Does the guard dog have a tin-foil hat for the festivities, or do I need to make him one?

She has no tin-foil hat, but she only believes in the vast squirrel conspiracy.

[AGreatPer]

BillF, it is really nice of you to host this. How come your flowers are red and mine are just sitting there looking green?

Depends upon week-end schedule at work. Would love to make it. Will let you know.

[Taxman]

I am sorry I can't make it myself. But, I'll be FReeping in a hot air balloon kinda way!

[cmsgop]

I like your style Bill, I can tell you are a good guy.

[kristinn]

Checking in. We've got a very busy agenda to consider. All D.C. Chapter members are urged to attend. We'll be planning several important actions in the near future and the next few months.

[BillF]

How come your flowers are red and mine are just sitting there looking green?

My wife's hard work on the garden.

Hope that you can make it.

[RaceBannon]

Goodness!!

[BillF]

If you come to the meeting/party, you won't even have to guard portable toilets.

And, unlike the Freeps, you probably won't get assaulted, aside from my dog jumpin' for joy into you.
