Walter Reed Freep #87: Santa Claus Comes to Town!
We didn't need the chemical hand warmers or multiple layers of cold weather gear that we needed last week, and fortunately my pen didn't freeze like Albion Wilde's did last week, but we did have a special guest: Santa Claus!
Honor Roll of Freepers:tgslTakoma, VAflagwaver, Jimmy Valentine's Brother, Kristinn, Cindy-True-Supporter, Doctor Raoul, Fraxinus, Mr. Trooprally, Mrs. Trooprally, TFroatz, Freeping_in_Silence, Citizen SMASH, VAFlagWaver, Just A Nobody,and finally, your writer for this AAR, Tom the Redhunter.
Unfortunately, our regular photographers were not able to show up, so I had to make do with my little HP 407 camera. It works well enough in the day, but night shots aren't so good. The flash isn't very powerful, so you get a dark background with the regular setting. It has a night setting, but this holds the shutter open for so long that any movement results in a blur.
Without further ado, here's Santa (aka tgslTakoma)
Jimmy Valentine's Brother is behind Santa in the photo above.
TFroatz and Fraxinus hold down a corner
Doctor Raoul, Citizen SMASH, and Mrs Trooprally outside one of the corners to the main entrance. . Doctor Raoul is an absolute encyclopaedia when it comes to leftist groups like Code Pink. A fascinating guy to talk to, he's got their number.
Mr Trooprally seemed lonely on the other corner so I went over and joined him for awhile. When the pizza arrived, he and I alternated going over to our "picnic area" for refreshments. We didn't want to leave a corner empty!
Freeping_in_Silence and VAFlagWaver share a hug for the camera. Fraxinus is in the background
And if you care, here is the same old sad group of lefties down the street where noone can see them. After getting all four corners back in January of 2006, they've been relegated to this position. Good riddance!
If you live anywhere near the Washington DC area please consider visiting us one evening! Especially if you have never participated in anything like this before, it will not be something you forget. If you're read many of these AARs, you'll know that the troopers and their families regularly come out and speak with us. Every one I've spoken with appreciates very much what we do.
