Hump Saturday for February - it was a little warmer and less windy than the previous Saturdays. Spring is around the corner. Our enthusiasm is starting to shine brighter than the sun was. We had 9 patriots on the corner today, including Legionnaire Frank. He has been out for a long time with health problems, but with the weather just a little better today, he felt that he had to be there. The Patriots this Saturday included Legionnaires Glenn (USMC - WWII), Halsey (USMC - Korea), Frank (Army- Korea) and Dave (Army - WWII) and Lady Friend, along with Lurker Bill and FReepers Cindy_True_Supporter, Fraxinus and myself.
The moonbats had 8 “ stupid morons” according to a lady stopped at the light in front of the moonbats. For the whole red light cycle she yelled kudos to us and something to the moonbats. We couldn’t hear what she was saying to the moonbats, but across 100 feet of busy intersection, we heard our kudos loud and clear. When the light turned green, she drove away honking and waving to us. Wish iMacMan was here today, he would have taken some of his great pics of her.

BELOW: Since Frank hasn’t been out for a while, here he is again crashing my pic of Lurker Bill.
BELOW LEFT: Cindy_True_Supporter (CTS) changing the mind of a lady who works with Muslim women. The lady thought CTS was against all Muslims. After about 20 minutes the lady understood that CTS was not against all of them, but was wondering where the moderate ones were. The lady agreed that the moderate ones were AWOL. BELOW RIGHT: CTS’s sign from another FReep that had the lady stop and talk to CTS.

Wooohoo! You guys are awesome! Say Hello to Mrs. T for me. Blessings to all of you.
There you are, Mrs. T!
[Mrs] T is chomping at the bit to get out again, at both Walter Reed and Olney. The cold really bothers her shoulder.
She says “Hi” back.
[Mr] T
I’m yellin’, “KUDOS” but I’m more than 100 feet away. Can you hear me?
I’m sure it bothers her shoulder, I understand, the cold air bothers me too. I’d like to hybernate. Wake me in 2 months : ) Maybe by then someone will find a judge with a backbone! Night...zzzzz
Try this loud
I'll be happy in a month. At least the mornings aren't below freezing.
Great Job as usual to the Olney Freepers !
I’ll Pray for Mrs. T’s shoulder,
V
Thank you, I’ll tell her. Her shoulder is getting better every week. Soon, soon, she’ll be back out with us.
And prayers up for you.
[Mr] T
