All right, no more cold wet FReeps for a while. Our cooler was loaded with ice cold water and sodas, our flags and banners were out, signs were held high, then a Montgomery County truck carrying recycle bins with a busted gas line font color = "blue">BELOW: broke down in front of Lurker Bill’s regular spot. We gave the truck passengers some soda and chatted with them until we left. The gas evaporated quickly in the heat and was not a danger. Not sure if the County will acquire carbon offsets for the fumes it released.
Just as the Marines do, we adapted and over came. Lurker Bill moved to the center of our corner, GunsAreOK and Legionnaires Glenn and Frank further down the road to be seen by traffic stuck in the mounting back up.
The roll call of our 8 Patriots included Legionnaire Glenn (USMC - WWII), Legionnaire Frank (Army - Korea),Lurker Bill and daughter, Cindy_True_Supporter, GunsAreOk, {Mrs} Trooprally, aka [Mrs] T, and myself, [Mr] T.

The moonbats quickly had their 8 today and just as quickly, took to their chairs. The sun was beating down on them the whole morning. Orginally the moonbats were on our corner. Week One we mixed it up with the moonbats and they cut ‘n ran to the sunny corner. BELOW LEFT: While they looked more pitiful than normal, one couldn’t blame them for sitting down. BELOW RIGHT: At least one moonbat had some sense.
BELOW LEFT: It took a while for our 8 to show up. Frank finally showed up, cane in hand because of a minor medical problem, as shown with Lurker Bill, GunsAreOK, and Glenn. BELOW RIGHT: Cindy_True_Supporter.
[Mrs] T got some real good pics of passing supporters.

WEATHER UPDATES HERE.
[Mr] & [Mrs] T
Meanwhile here in Seattle where Global Warming has reduced our average temperature by almost 18 degrees .....
I thought the environmental moonbats have changed the name of “Global Warming” to “Climate Change”. That way they can also blame Seattle’s weather on us.
[Mr] T
As usual what a great report. Most excellent!!
[Mrs T]
You are just biased!!
ME
They also say it’s selective - Denver can have 90deg. weather and snow in New York in August ... that’s selective Climate Change ... but lurking in the background is lack of sunspot activity that can trigger a new ice age ...
GREAT JOB! Just wish we could have summer too....it’s 52 degrees at 5pm here in Western Washington.
I think we in the northwest shoud sue Al Gore. Grrrr.....err......brrrrrrrr

I am NOT amused. I have the heat on and am wearing a Polartec jacket here in the drippy Pacific NW, where we are having the coldest wettest June since 1874. My son has dragged out his winter ski jacket to wear to work.
I never know what time it is, as the sun doesn’t even begin to peep through. It’s 5 a.m. all day, temp hovers in the 40s 24/7. Haven’t seen sun for more than a few hours so far this year. Nothing blooms. Stay away from Seattle if you know what’s good for you. People here are ready to KILL.
So go ahead, enjoy yourselves.
Great report!
...drink plenty of liquids, water too
Okay...where’s the bathing suit you promised? I was soooo looking forward to the bathing suits. Bummer.
Yeah, and how about that blizzard in the mountains that killed one hiker? That’s more global warming than was anticipated, right?
Low tonight in Colorado Springs: 38 degrees F
You FReepers are making me cold just thinking about your “Climate Change”. I’ll have to go outside just to warm up. Personally, I enjoy the hot weather more than the cold.
We had Species8472 from Alaska stop by Olney’s FReep one Saturday. He just happen to be in the neighborhood - the lower 48 neighborhood. He had a picture of himself shoveling 2+ feet of snow off the roof of his house. If he reads this, maybe he can post the pic.
[Mr] T
Thanks. See you Friday.
