~ 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!

Good morning Tonk.

Good morning everyone!!

Thanks, Military men and Canteen guyz, for bringing the children along to play in the garden today. Can ya hear their laughter? I can. :-)

To our troops, veterans, and military family members, and to our allies who stand with us,
THANK YOU!

I hope everyone's doing well. Even when I can't be here, my thoughts are here. I hope once our car club's car show is behind us, things will slow down enough I'll be able to spend more time with y'all. Just a couple more weeks.
Our fighting men and women overseas are in my thoughts and prayers constantly, no matter where I am or what I'm doing. It's due to the efforts of our Military folks that we are able to enjoy the freedoms we have and I'm forever grateful.
It's waaaaaay past bedtime and a looooong day awaits, so this tired lil hillbilly is off to bed. *HUGZ* for everyone and y'all have a wonderful day!

Cool. I think I did ok. And they were good. Applesauce does sound good, but the carbs.... Oh, and I'm up to #360! But fading fast. I'm almost caught on Tuesday's Canteen.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Aeronaut and Otto, and thank you both for your dedication to the flyover of protection for our troops' Canteen, a place where we offer a "touch of home" for our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies.

You're awfully early today, Aeronaut. Any flying this week?

[Aeronaut]

Any flying this week?

Hi Kathy. I'm going up in about three hours, and I have to take some "higher-ups" to an airport dedication Saturday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, radu. Glad you got to pop in. You must be exhausted from having to sleep during the night time hours, and work all day and do car club and email and packages and and and..... You be careful out there. Hope you don't have any tornadoes, and that the kitties are all well.

Does Otto get to go?

[Aeronaut]

Does Otto get to go?

Probably on Saturday.

Howdy Kathy. Still here for a sec.....bookmarking some threads for later reading.
Sleep? What the heck is that?!! Wait a minute...why am I asking you? You're as unfamiliar with it as I am, aren't ya? LOL!
I'm more than ready for the pace to slow down around here. Gettin' too old for this. hehe.
We got really lucky the other night. Tornados hit all around but didn't hit us. Just tree debris to clean up. A couple of our friends weren't so lucky and had houses damaged but fortunately, no one was hurt. It looked like we might have more "yeehaa" tonight but the storms died down before they got to us.
Well, got what I want to keep bookmarked so I'd better hit the hay. Hope you do the same soon yourself. *hint, hint* :-) I hear that that thing called sleep is good for us. LOL!
*HUG*

Spotted one article that begged to be mass e-mailed. Couldn't resist. Gotta by-pass the lamestream media whenever I get the chance. hehe. Now I'm done and outta here. Hope to get a chance to come back soon.

Nighty night.
