~ SPORTS DAY IN THE CANTEEN ~     The Canteen Doors Are Open! Yep! Another fun filled Sports Day for all of our Troops, Veterans, and their families. (Oh yeah! For Canteeners and lurkers as well.) Anyhoo, the Canteen Sports CEO (That would be Mr.Tonkin for those that would like to file a complaint!) would like for us to keep things simple for Sports this week. So? Being that we have no power over such things, we are going to take him at his word. After all, he's the CEO and he always knows everything. Right?  The right hand side provides all the sports information you will need! So? Have at it kids! Have fun!! (In all honesty, we don't want to bog down the thread opening anymore. We'll keep it short and simple. Anything else we'd like to add will be posted on the thread itself!)   CANTEEN SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS 1. The Cincinnati Reds, not the Chicago Cubs, are currently in First Place in the National League - Central Division. Please make note of that. Be sure to pester Cubbie lover, tomkow6, about it. He'll appreciate it. 2. No! This isn't Da Bears season yet. So? The CSC CEO won't care what we write about in the Canteen. (Don't tell him Da Bears will be bad again this year. Hehe!) 3. The French Open is currently going on. Anyone care? We didn't think so. Besides, all the American men are gone. Wimbledon is next for us. WooHoo! 4. Anyone see the Indy 500?? Isn't it nice that we all know how to say Buddy Rice? It sure is. Nice to see an American win it again. 5. *YAWN* The Yankees are in first place again. Different year, same story. Poor BoSox fans. 6. If you want to end your football career with controversy, sign up to be the head coach at Colorado. McCartney, Neuheisel, and Barnett. What a grand school. (Although, Barnett wasn't fired.) 7. Just an observation: The British papers and people love two things more than anything else. They love soccer and sex. Kind of convenient since they both start with "s". They are obsessed with David Beckham and who he's with or isn't. Looks like his wife Victoria is becoming the Hillary Clinton of Great Britian. Sucks to be either one of them. 8. We know what you're thinking: WHY ISN'T IT FRIDAY ALREADY? We hear ya there!	SPORTS LINKS mouse over to see the link!

The new PX/Mini-Mall is scheduled for use in July, just before I leave. I'll send pics...

What impresses me, is how quiet this post is at night. no droning noises, just a quiet place to be, ecven with all the mobs going on.

If you just like the quiet and don't need to party 29/8, McCoy isn't bad at all.

A woman I work with has a father, a WWII Marine, living up in that area, & I thought she said that he goes there for his cemo therapy.

I can't let Sen. Finger go unchallenged.

Sen. Finger: "We went into Iraq with too few troops to prevent looting and crime

If the standard is absolutely no looting or crime, as your position seems to be, please explain your lack of concern for the nearly 1 million South Vietnamese killed after the US left Vietnam. It appears that you ability to see the future in S. Vietnam was clouded by your treasonous actions in getting us out.

Sen. Finger: our soldiers are stretched too thin."

Too bad you didn't forsee this when you voted AGAINST the military for your entire Senate career.

Sen. Finger: They have effectively used a stop loss policy as a back-door draft. They have extended tours of duty, delayed retirements, and prevented enlisted personnel from leaving the service.

Obviously you have once again forgotten history. In WW2 ALL military personnel were in "for the duration". Please stop acting like the WOT is the worst thing to ever happen to the USA. We have faced tough times in the past on several occaisions,and America has ALWAYS risen to meet those challenges. And WE did it without benefit of the "3 scratches and yer out" policy you used to get your ass out of the line of fire so you could rush home and trash the rest of us still in combat.

Sorry for the rant but this boy pops my cork.

[tomkow6]

...oh, SURE! Play favorites, why don't you!

[Fawnn]

LOL (You're on a roll!!!)

Time to go! And, if the weather holds out and continues to stay sunny, I am going to try to wash at least one vehicle after I get home. Does anyone have any idea how many bugs one collects driving from Maryland to Florida and back? Gee......I may have to get a scrub brush out!

So, you all have a good time.

And, remember, be here tomorrow. Not only is it Friday, but it is Camp-Run-A-Muck day. Lots of fun stuff...........see ya then. Good night citizens of Canteenville.

[tomkow6]

JUST IN CASE:

The Wisconsin State Fair is in Milwaukee, the first week of August!

{{{{{ BEACH! }}}}}

Glad to see you! And you'll be going to the premieres, too? Great!

And of course, I'll be here for Camp tomorrow, what'd'you expect?

[beachn4fun]

Gee Ma.....did it look anything like this?

[Old Sarge]

Not that I've heard of. Gimme a town name, and I can tell you if it's close.

[beachn4fun]

Nah! Just going to go see it when it gets in the local theater. Enjoy!

Unless they have changed something, it may be located near the post. I do know that serious cases go to the hospital in Sparta. I had to take a soldier there while we were Mobing. There may be a hospital in Onalaska or one of the small sities nearby. I just don't know.

[Old Sarge]

Can't wait! I'll probably be there, in costume, too!

[tomkow6]

OK, Thanks! I was just wondering.

[E.G.C.]

Good afternoon, Old Sarge. How's it going?

[kjfine]

Hey, I am trying!!! LOL!!! One of my soldiers sent me that pic, and I HAD to post it!!!

[Old Sarge]

YUUUUM, YUM!

[Old Sarge]

Hey, EG! Havin' fun in the Green Suit, that's for sure!

[Fawnn]

Our President is now on his way to Italy. He needs our prayers while he's on this trip to Europe. (He's needed at the D-Day remembrance -- and I doubt he'll be doing any fake photo op stunts like the last president who was there! I just wish he weren't spending a night in France though.)
