SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO THE

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities
Another nice visit with the troops.
God bless 'em all.

DC METROLAND WEATHER

~ Today...Showers early,
then cloudy in the afternoon.
High near 50F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Chance of rain 30%

~ Tonight...Clear to partly cloudy.
Slight chance of a shower through the evening.
Low 34F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph

Making Z Zoup
A dash of this...a sprinkle of that...

More than 63 million Star Trek books,
in more than 15 languages, are in print;
13 were sold every minute in the U.S. in 1995.

All the planets in our solar system
could be placed inside the planet Jupiter.

The standard escalator moves
120 feet per minute.

The body's largest internal organ
is the small intestine at an average length
of 15 to 20 feet and has a diameter of no more
than an inch and a half.
The large intestine measures an average of 5 feet.

Rinse food products off knives
immediately after use, especially mayonnaise,
which is a highly corrosive substance.
If staining should occur,
use a non-abrasive polishing compound to remove it.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

O P E N

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
