SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities
Really like that photo called River Route.
It looks almost like a portrait.

~ Today...Sunny...Hot with highs in the upper 90s.
Northwest winds around 5 mph...
Becoming southwest in the afternoon.

~ Tonight...Partly cloudy with isolated showers
and thunderstorms in the evening...
Then mostly cloudy after midnight. Lows in the upper 70s.
Southwest winds around 5 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Making Z Zoup
A pinch of this...a dash of that...

The profile of the average computer virus writer
is age 14-24, talented, bright, and driven by a rebellious,
adolescent need to call attention to himself.

When female wasps return to the colony after foraging,
they may initiate aggressive encounters with males
and stuff them head first into empty nest cells.
Cornell University researchers who observed the behavior
call it "male-stuffing,"
and believe it contributes to the colony's fitness
by making more food available to larvae.

The word "robot" was coined in 1920
in a play, R.U.R. (the initials stood for "Rossum's Universal Robots"),
written by Czech dramatist Karel Capek.
The word was made up by his brother Josef .
When Karel was writing his play,
he couldn't decide on a name for these artificial creatures.
Originally, he proposed the word "labors."
Josef proposed "robots," coming from the word "robota,"
which means "work" in Czech and other Slavic languages, including Russian.

Researchers have determined that 1 acre of potatoes
can yield 1,200 gallons of ethyl alcohol in a year.

I've got to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
And you know how she can be

Yes, we are

Come in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....

"Goood mornin', Early Birds!
Y'all got the worm! "

Remember:
The early bird may get the worm,
But it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.

[E.G.C.]

It's going OK. We may get some rain later today. There's some on the radar that headed towards us.

Yesterday, was the first day of summer which is the longest day of the year. Bo and I spent much of the afternoon out at the lake. We ad a great time out there. I'm also watching this link to see what if anything is going to come out of the USSC. Keeping our fingers crossed for that too.

But it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.

LOL...good point
Good morning, BlueLancer
