Operation Infinite FReep 8-23-02 in Fresno, CA

8/23/02

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Tonight's FReep of the peaceniks in Fresno, CA was attended by eleven FReepers. I counted sixteen peaceniks on the other side of the street from us tonight. I think that when there are lots of them in attendance, the response we get from the motorists driving by is louder and more enthusiastic than usual. There were a few who flipped us off or gave us the thumbs down sign, but at times the honking was really unbelievable! Hundreds and hundreds of people honked to show support for our point of view on this, Fresno's busiest intersection.

FReepers who attended were:

• Jim, Chris, and Sheila Robinson
  
• JustAmy
  
• FriendAnn
  
• Mama_Bear
  
• Jkphoto
  
• Gracie1
  
• Ladyinred
  
• Chadsworth
  
• Mtngrl@vrwc

It was a pleasant and agreeable 90 degrees in Fresno today, so unusual for August. I hope this gorgeous weather continues through the rest of the summer.

After the peaceniks left at promptly 6:30 (as usual), we stayed another half an hour and then (almost) all of us went to DiCiccios for dinner and pleasant conversation. FReepers are wonderful people!

To all FReepers who weren't able to attend tonight, we missed you and hope you will join us next week. To those who were able to make it tonight, THANKS for coming! Your effort is appreciated!

Is she single?

[JustAmy]

I didn't ask but she is sure a sweetie.
It is a tremendous feeling when a member of our military stops by to say 'Thank You'. It also gives us a chance to say 'No, Thank You!'

God bless the soldier! You know, the peaceniks here are about the same. Grrrrr.

You folks do such a wonderful job representing America and supporting our troops. Bless you. Don't anyone ever think those "peaceful" wieners are pacifists. Watch you backsides!

Great report. I'll let you know how we make out in Colorado later this evening.

[JustAmy]

Thanks. Make sure I am on your ping list.
I will try to get the Missouri thread up earlier than I did last week-end.

[bluesagewoman]

We are just very grateful for your assistance!

Freedom bump!

[Pippin]

Hellow everybody!

The pictures of your freep are fantastic! What a beautiful and dedicated group of people!

Love the signs and wish I could be there but it's a long way from Baltimore to Fresno. Next week put out a sign for me as if I was there. As for the soldier, Hope she stops by again. She's alway welcomed and thank her for me for her service to our wonderful nation!

[Trteamer]

Fantastic!!

You have some very talented sign makers, I am jealous.

I passed by and honked you guys twice last nite..on the way to getting the girls some ice cream. Saw Chadsworth "working" the cars and mtngrl looking like she was ready to kill someone..haha...

[ladyinred]

The girl brought tears to my eyes believe me! She told us they had seen us out here several times and wanted to thank us for what we are doing and how much they appreciate it.
It is we who are grateful to her and all of those who lay their lives on the line for us, and it was great to be able to tell her so.
She will never know how much her taking the time to thank us and posing for a picture meant to us. Makes it all worthwhile.

[ladyinred]

Hey goodieD! We didn't see you!
Did I tell you how many times I have In and Out animal style now? Thanks again for letting me in on the secret that most people already knew! :)

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the Fourth of July.

All I can say is WOW!
