great pics, C, and thanks for the ping ! will return the courtesy by spamming my reply from another thread ... There's a fellow Texas FReeper who can confirm that at about 2pm on Friday afternoon, an internal debate was raging to throw caution to the wind and make a dash from Austin for DC.
However, family matters made it impossible for that co-conspirator to also act as co-pilot, and my middle-aged body just ain't up to those solo-eighteen-hour-nonstop road trips any more. :-(
Dudes and dudettes, this DC member in absentiaREALLY wanted to be there with y'all again !
Thank you from the Heart o'Texas for standing for all of us !
btw, the stench of those people still lingers in memory from 9-29 at the Navy Memorial... bathe vigorously, bathe often !
"Lawsuit" = "loaded gun of the left" = gutlessness
such a course, encouraged as it would be by an ethically bankrupt legal 'profession', would once again leave the leftist(s) who's filed suit looking to his or her betters for both enforcement of any verdict AND protection from the wrath of the raped.
merely another demonstration of their essential cowardice...
Speaking of nukes wait until the Chinese ones that Bubba was so kind to help them with start landing on the west coast. It will make this look like a walk in the park. News of a fourth plane down by Pittsburgh. I am not convinced that this will have any effect on the American people. Before long the pundits will be blaming this on us and we will be eating it up and atoning for our sins whatever they may or may not be. We have truly evolved into a strange nation. Hope I am wrong.
