SOUP FOR THE TROOPS
WELCOME TO THE
FR CANTEEN
(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
I'll sure be glad when fotki gets back on line with my graphics.
I needed a blue background
but didn't have the right shade in my files.
Went online, found one, tried to save/copy it to my fotki folder
and it kept telling me that "it already exists". HUH?
No matter how many times I changed the name of the graphic,
I got the same message. Oh well...
Making Z Zoup
A cup of this...a teaspoon of that...
The point in a lunar orbit that is farthest
from the moon is called an "apolune."
Madam de Montespan, second wife of Louis XIV,
once lost 4 million francs in a half-hour
at the gambling table.
(May be why they got beheaded so much)
Blaise Pascal, the 17th-century French mathematician,
said that if Cleopatra's nose had been differently shaped
– aquiline, for instance –
or if Cromwell's bladder had not been obstructed
and he had lived longer,
the history of the world would have been altered.
(I wonder why)
The kakapo is a nocturnal burrowing parrot
of New Zealand that has a green body
with brown and yellow markings.
Its name is from Maori and means "night parrot."
Women navigate by landmarks and visual memories.
Men navigate by direction and distance,
and tend to be better at reading maps.
(I wonder why men get lost so much...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.
