All you wonderful DC Freepers...major good lucks tomorrow...we'll be praying and asking the good lord to look out after you....(plus we're jealous as hell that we are't there) Stay warm and we are all looking for your after action report! Love you!

Sorry I had to skip out on everyone. The snake stories are "blood curdling". I've chopped a few of them to pieces with my hoe in my time, but I prefer not to have to. I guess there may be a few timber rattlers in W.Va, but I've not heard of any Copperheads. Those are nasty things we had so many of in Tenn. Cottonmouths too. I once had a tug of war with a rat snake over one of my chicks. He had it and I wanted it back. I got the chick but he got the leg. Had to dispatch the wee peep.

dutchess, I think we are being encouraged to become "pistol packing mamas." You seem to be better set up for that than I. I can inquire around, but I don't know of any firing ranges close by. There are some outdoor shooting ranges here, but I'm not comfortable about those. One man went out to one of them a few years ago and was murdered by some nut.

Hi, Nan! Just checking back before shutting down, in time to se your post.
I forgot to mention the cottonmouth mocassins in Florida. Our neighbor's teenage son died of the bite of one.
Had copperheads galore in North Carolina, one biting my cousin's husband thumb from under a hay bale.

Wanna change the subject?..:))

We, too, can pray for the D.C. Freep tomorrow ~ ~ ~

Father, we ask Your watchful eye upon our friends tomorrow as they act on behalf of our sons and daughters.
Grant them tolerable weather - safety from disrupters - good television coverage so viewers may see how strong is our support of a just cause.

We know you admonish us to not 'murder,' but You know our purpose is to prevent a tyrant from performing more and greater evils upon many around the world.

You sent men forth in Your Holy Name to go into battle, and we ask Your protection of these who do so in these times.

Strengthen them and hold them in Your hand, Lord.

Cover our friends tomorrow as they stand in the gap with them.
We ask in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

[LadyX]

Turning it over to you, Nan, if you return.
See you tomorrow, hopefully.

God bless you and Jack.

[Aquamarine]

Amen.

Amen.

The weather is always tolerable. We're tough. We had our pre-rally dinner tonight. The vets came and ate with us -- great Marine guys. We'll be safe from disruptors -- our rally site is right near the Vietnam Memorial, and the US Park Police ain't gonna do less than protect that whole area thoroughly.

As to good media coverage, our pre-rally dinner was covered by the local Channel 9 tonight and the McNeil/Lehrer report and others will be filming tomorrow. The Washington Post is going to have some kind of live photo feed, I don't understand the details. But I'm sure the DC Chapter will have a live thread to keep you all updated.

Pre-rally preparations are complete. Kristinn and Angelwood and Sauropod and Doctor Raoul and everyone have been working very hard. God helps those who help themselves.

There are going to be lots of veterans with us there, and frankly God's already answered my prayer. I'm more interested in showing the vets that I care than the media, which doesn't get it. The media just broadcast comment from Tony Murphy tonight, calling him a spokesman for the peace movement and failing to mention that he's a member of the Worker's World Party. Blech. Bet the vets could have spotted that just looking at him!! LOL. They're my kind of people. It will be a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Aquamarine, I'll try to do something along the lines you suggested for a write-up.

[FreeTheHostages]

I almost forgot! Wait, I have ten more minutes to post this!!

[Aquamarine]

I know you'll do a good job of documenting this event.

God bless.

LOL!! Yes, I definitely definitely quilt! And my cats love to help me when I lay it out my floor too! I've just gotten used to tolerating it. :)

My sister gave me a t-shirt that says: "To quilt is human, to finish divine."

This should be fun with Rocky doing his best to EAT my batting. I am continually pulling something from his mouth that shouldn't be there. He is forever snatching my quilt pieces and running off with them. Loves to raid the laundry basket too. I've had to take to putting in in the tub.

GOD BLESS THE USA
