Due to Week 14's technical difficulties, this post will cover Weeks 14 and 15.
Week 14 was GOOD, BAD & GRUMP, the weather was GOOD, but BAD that we were out numbered by the GRUMPIES.
Week 15 was also GOOD, BAD & GRUMPY, GOOD that we out numbered the fair weather GRUMPIES, but the weather was very BAD.
I'm actually glad the Saturdays in Olney have the bad weather because then Fridays at Walter Reed get the better weather. This allows the troops to come out and talk with us and also allows us to Thank them for their service.
WEEK 15: April 08,2006
After a warm Thursday at Walter Reed looking at Phelps' inbred clan, and a very warm but rainy Friday night at WR, we were shocked by Saturday's cold, very windy, rainy weather. Basically the weather man was wrong as usual. They were calling for temps in the 50s and the rain ending by our FReep. But it was rainy with temps were in the low 40s and a wind chill. No one dressed properly.
We were glad that the moonbats left early and didn't stay til 5 PM. As usual, the moonbats are fair weather "creatures" of some sort. We out numbered them except for about 10 minutes when we had equal numbers.
But to our pleasant surprise, Cindy_True_Supporter showed up to join Justanobody, Lurker Bill, [Mrs] Trooprally and myself. Final count, FReepers 5, moonbats 4.

BELOW: Backs of [Mr] T. & Justanobody, and Cindy_True_Supporter trying to hold too many things on this windy day. CTS's signs have been weather proofed though for these occassions.

BELOW: Three moonbats. The two on the right arrived late and left early. Waveman got there at 3, but left at 4:25. iMacMan, we need to change his name to "Barkman" since he doesn't wave to us anymore.
BELOW: Fourth Grumpy showed up late and left with Barkman.
WEEK 14: April 01,2006
With the Trooprallys and several other regulars not being able to attend, FReepers from far and wide heeded our call to help fill in. Doctor Raoul from Philly, GunsareOK from below Richmond, Gate2Wire from Baltimore, and Kristinn and Lurker Bill. Once again the FReepers stayed later than the official 4:30 break up time.
Later a local stopped by. He initially stopped at the moonbats' side, talked to them, then came over to our side, asked for a sign, and stayed for half an hour.
Our sincere Thanks to those who showed up.
Kristinn said that the honks and waves were as regular as always. When Kristinn, Doctor Raoul & GunsareOK went to Madisons afterwards, they were praised for being out there countering the moonbats.

BELOW: Gate2Wire in shorts.
BELOW: Doctor Raoul and GunsareOK. Doctor Raoul badgered them with funny chants like "The National Weather Service has issued a rain advisory for Olney between 3 and 4:30 today with a 95% chance of soap. Hippies are advised to leave the area."
BELOW: Grumpies close up.
REMEMBER
Next Saturday, same place, Georgia Avenue, MD Rte. 97 and MD Rte. 108 in Olney, MD
Same time, 3 PM to 4:30 PM
They join Justanobody, \/\/ayne, concretebob and myself as 3Fers.
Basically, a 3Fer is a FReeper who attends three FReeps in a row, without a full day in between. The day in between that discounts a FReeper is because the FReeper has the opportunity to have a "life" and do some work.
This week, Justanobody also became a 4Fer. Phelps on Thursday, Walter Reed on Friday, Olney on Saturday and her own Anti-Illegal Immigration FReep in Richmond on Sunday.
Ping to the D.C. Chapter
You've been busy. Way to go.
Your perseverence is not being overlooked. We do appreciate all that you guys are doing. Frustrating that we can't be there.
Badda-bump.
BUMP!
Great work - keep them rocking back on their heels. You shut down the Q&A- another Great Moment! Thanks & looking forward to the AAR.
[Mr] T
Looks like with the warm weather the moonbats fly more. Phelps will be in town again on April 28 in front of Bethesda Naval Hospital. [Mr] T

My report is out, called "Ba'athist Bile" at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1615145/posts but I think I did something wrong in the setup, it's not on the news/activism activism/chapters sidebar.
