All of a sudden, it just stopped, and the sun came out.. Right in time for the show!

Someone was watching out.

The Canteen


As a light house beacon warns
a ship away from dangerous shores...
We in the FReeper CANTEEN
offer a safe haven for our troops and their families.
May God Bless our ship FReeper CANTEEN.
