CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides," remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

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
Whew! Finally made it to the Canteen.
It's not crazy busy,
but little things keep getting in the way.

DC METROLAND WEATHER

~ Today...HOT

~ Tonight... HOT

During the summer I normally keep
the thermostat at 76-77 range.
This week I've had to set it at 78
to keep it from running all the time.
I set it at 79 this morning,
hoping grand-doggy won't be too hot,
and a/c won't run all day.

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

If you are afraid that you might die laughing —
you are suffering from cherophobia.
(not in this world, unless you have a twisted sense of humor)

The Arctic Ocean is the world's smallest ocean.
It is mostly covered by solid ice,
ice floes, and icebergs.

If you never get thirsty,
you need to drink more water.
When the human body is dehydrated,
its thirst mechanism shuts off.

Species of coffee trees can grow as tall as 32 feet
and their leaves can range in color
from purple to yellow.
Green is the predominant color, however.

An expert fly fisherman
may have as many as 10,000 flies
in his collection.
(yuck, imagine all the fly poop in his tackle box)
bwahahahahaha...

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.
