Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families

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

Now for our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today....A shower or two around the area early, then partly cloudy during the afternoon. High near 90F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 30%.

~ Tonight....Clear to partly cloudy. Low 71F. Winds light and variable.

I'm noticing that it is still dark later in the mornings. I'm not ready for winter AND - do you realize that on Friday we're only 4 months from the Christmas holiday? Better start saving money now.

I was kind of out of the loop yesterday so I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm thinking I need to post some trivia for your consumption as well. I know you just can't get enough. hehe

Fact of the Day

The breed of the Thoroughbred horse is only about 300 years old, although horse racing has been popular in England since Roman times, and can be traced back to Central Asia among prehistoric nomads.

Today In History July 29, 1981

Charles, Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne, married Diana Spencer at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

Entertainment Trivia

TV's Peyton Place in the 1960's and the big-screen blockbuster Love Story (1970) made the boyishly handsome Ryan O'Neal a household name. Prior to his fame, O'Neal's show business career began with work as a television stuntman.

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

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above Honoring those who have served before.

I haven’t read the whole thread yet but Katrina did a number on the base at Pascagoula.

The storm surge scoured pavement at 29 ft above sea level and water lines were at about 33 feet.

I saw walls pushed in from the surge, cars piled like toys in the parking lot, and plenty of dead fish inside dorms and other buildings.

But who even knew that Katrina hit Mississippi?
