First we will have a look at some history of color.



1611 - Finland - The oldest known color system is credited to astronomer, priest and Neoplatonist Aron Sigfrid Forsius (1569-1637). In his color circle , between the colors Black and White, Red has been placed on the one side since the classical antiquity, and Blue on the other; Yellow then comes between White and Red, pale Yellow between White and Yellow, Orange between Yellow and Red.

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE:

The US has succeeded in building a super computer able to solve any strategic or tactical problem. Military leaders are assembled in front of the new machine and instructed to feed a difficult tactical problem into it. They describe a hypothetical situation to the computer and then ask the pivotal question: attack or retreat?

The computer hums away for an hour and then comes up with the answer: YES.

The generals look at each other, somewhat stupefied. 

Finally one of them submits a second request to the computer: YES WHAT? 

Instantly the computer responded:
YES SIR!!!.

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ms. Feather, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

DC Metroland weather report ~ Today....... Partly sunny. Highs in the lower 40s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph.~ Tonight........ Partly cloudy in the evening...then becoming mostly cloudy. Lows in the upper 20s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

As you can see we'll warm up a little today, but we're still in for a "roller coaster" of a ride, weather-wise.

How's this for color? However, I don't think they use pink in the military. LOL.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

our allied military and the family members of the above.
