In logging slang, a messy pile of logs
is called a "jackpot."

There are more than 450 species
of finches throughout the world.

An average of 51 cars a year overshoot
and drive into the canals of Amsterdam.

The Eiffel Tower is painted approximately once
every 7 years and requires nearly
50 tons of paint each time.
It is one of the most popular tourist
attractions in Paris,
visited by more than six million people per year.

Americans purchase an average
of 100 cans of Campbell's Soup every second
of every day in the month of January.

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.

Hi everyone!!

Texas to Virginia is a heck of a long drive, but I'm finally settled in the new place in Newport News.

[beachn4fun]

Whoa! It is a long drive.

Good morning CMS ((HUGS))

In Newport News? Hope you found a nice place. Now, hopefully, you’ll have time to see all the nice places on the east coast.

Good morning Ma ((HUGS))
Not long now, the weekend is almost here.
Now that the furloughs are ending,
I think I might stay on my current schedule
(4 - 9 hours days/4 hours leave a week)
so I can have Fridays off for a couple more months.

Well, yesterday around the noon hour we had two momentary losses power for a couple of seconds here at the Calame house. Also, early this morning we lost power for a few seconds during a storm passing through the area.

There was some wind and rain with the storm but the thunder and lightning was rather loud.

More storms are in the forecast for later today. There is a slight risk of severe t-storms for much of Oklahoma today.

[CMS]

Our apartment is in Newport News about 12 miles from post

[luvie]

Yep...I know it's hot (maybe 100 today)
but this Night Owl still loves a tea party!
(or coffee if you wish! :) )
We have rain in the forecast...
...keep your fingers crossed that we get it!
It passed us by these last 2 days. *sigh*
Oh, well...it IS the desert...right?
All y'all have a Thrilling Thursday!!
(maybe not TOO thrilling! LOL)
