Oct. 22,2008

Lots going on today in Olney.

First, Samuel, the Other Plumber, (BELOW) visited Olney today. Joe had visited Walter Reed the night before so Sam came in his place today. Love these multi-tasking plumbers. Sam had a good time with the FRiendly FReepers and Lurkers in Olney.

Second, VictoryNY and Satin Patriot blessed us with their presence. Their singing of God Bless America, flag waving, loud proclamations of our support of our troops and waving brought on the cheers, honks and waves of support from passing vehicles. BELOW LEFT: VictoryNY and Satin Patriot on the corner. BELOW RIGHT: And at Dave’s Bistro for lunch, along with BufordP, Cindy_True_Supporter, GunsAreOK and the Trooprallys.

Third, the 3 Musketeers (BELOW) were at Olney. Some may call us the 3 stooges but they are our FReeper FRiends. Jeez, some friends. Hey 3DJoy, do these jackets look familiar?

Fourth, a Ralph Nader supporter stopped by to give us a hand against the moonbats. NOT. She had come to give us a Nader handout. GunsAreOK accepted one and asked the volunteer to wait a minute while he read it. Guns just wanted to read it and give it back to save RalphyBoy some money. She stayed, and then her and Guns discussed Ralphy. She would not accept back the pamphlet, telling Guns to give it to one of his friends. GunsAreOk’s response: "None of my FRiends would read it". Bottom line, it got stashed in Guns’ back pocket to be tossed later.

But we had our supporter also stop by. A lady heard VictoryNY and Satin Patriot’s singing of God Bless America. She said the singing made her heart well up with pride and just had to come over to Thank us for being out in Olney. She has past us before and honked and waved, but the singing made her stop.

BELOW LEFT: Our supporter thanking VictoryNY. BELOW RIGHT: Nader supporter talking to GunsAreOK and behind them, our supporter talking to me.

Fifth, the shopping center owner brightened up our corner with some fall flowers (BELOW). Sure made our flags look great.

Sixth, with the Legionnaires at their last yard sale till spring, our numbers were filled in with FReepers, 8 in all vs 6 moonbats. Freepers who we haven’t seen for a while were BufordP, GunsAreOk, Satin Patriot and VictoryNY. And the original Fantastic Four, Lurker Bill, Cindy_True_Supporter, [Mrs] Trooprally, aka [Mrs] T and myself, [Mr] T. Lurker Bill's daughter was doing babysitting duties and didn't get to hold her "Honk Support the Troops" sign.

For a long time now we have had two sister (no, not the nun type) who take morning walks, thru our corner. They are supportive of our cause and friendly. One works for the DoD. Recently I’ve also noticed another pair of young ladies also walking but along the other side of the street. Today I found out why. As they past in front of the moonbats, one gave us the thumbs down and both clapped for the moonbats. I guess since both groups having claimed their respective corners, locals know which side to walk on. Oh ya, we have an occasional jogger that when he’s out, he always passes thru our corner and thanks us.

BELOW LEFT: Getting back to the others on the corner, here’s Lurker Bill with daughter and grandson. Jeez he’s getting big. Pretty soon he’ll be out holding a Support the Troops sign. BELOW RIGHT: Satin Patriot, VictoryNY, GunsAreOK and BufordP.

BELOW LEFT: Cindy_True_Supporter with L. Bill’s brood. BELOW RIGHT: VictoryNY one her toes as she cheers for our troops.

We also received 4 SEMPER Fis today, a record.

Our passing motorists are back.

You are welcome.

I see you are in Maryland. Are you close enough to check out either the Walter Reed or Olney FReeps?
