It's one thing to say, "Hey guys it might rain," and quite another to go "The Great Flood and New Ice Age route."
We've all been working very hard to encourage folks to come out and show their support for our men and women in the military (who wear their uniforms and defend our country and its ideals, no matter what the weather). And we have to contend with the total news blackout from the local media regarding our grassroots effort to do something positive and supportive of the people who will be putting their lives on the line to stop Saddam's megalomaniacal march to dominate his part of the globe through nuclear, chemical and biological weapon development and use. And we have to contend with the reality that putting on this rally is costing us money from our family budgets. And we are doing all this willingly, because it's become quite obvious that if we don't do it, nobody else appears ready to do it. Do you think you could maybe say just one positive thing to bump the thread?
So, according to you it's going to be miserably cold and rainy. That would have been positively tropical conditions and would have been welcomed by the US troops who fought in Korea. I don't know, but I'll bet the soldiers who were in North Africa would also have welcomed the weather we face on Saturday.
What I am trying to say is that the weather is secondary to what will happen on Saturday. We will be there regardless. And if your prediction proves true, I'll gladly give up the dollar bill to you. But I may have to restrain myself from attaching it to some duct tape and affixing it to your ... oh nevermind.
So, who's bringing the inflatable rafts and waterproof matches?
Hey, FC, I'm a self-appointed WX Freak myself, but Takoma is right, it don't matter.
Look forward to meeting you and welcome to FR.
Do we have a cover for the podium??
