SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO THE

(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

DC METROLAND WEATHER

~ Today...Partly cloudy skies. High 81F.
Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight... Some clouds. Low 59F.
Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.

Making Z Zoup
A cup of this...a teaspoon of that...

The average person can live up to
eleven days without water,
assuming a mean temperature of
60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Privacy invasion and the need for heightened protection
is not a new problem for film stars.
In the 1920s, cinema idol Rudolph Valentino
was forced to take drastic security measures
because fans continually invaded his home and
pilfered his belongings as mementos.
A 9-foot-tall stucco wall and huge flood lights
were erected at his Benedict Canyon mansion
to keep female fans out. Additionally, three Great Danes,
two Italian mastiffs, and one Spanish greyhound ran
loose through the courtyard and terrace as sentries.

The force of gravity is very strong
on a neutron star because of its amazing density.
Your weight on a neutron star would be
10,000 million times greater than on Earth.
(well, dang, there goes my diet)

A recent Gallup poll shows that
69 percent of Americans believe they will go
somewhere after death.
(sad that it is only 69%)

During the American Revolution,
many brides did not wear white wedding gowns;
instead, they wore red as a symbol of rebellion.

In Breton, Alabama, there is a law on the town's books
against riding down the street in a motorboat.
(hmmm, what about when the street floods? hehe)

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

I hope Rudolph Valentino had really hungry dogs...that WOULD do the trick.
I will never understand this looting mentality.

Happy Thursday, beachy...((HUGS))
