The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Thanks for remembering and honoring our Troops, Kathy!
Sorry I’m late...I just got out of more than 2 hours of Teams meetings. This last one was very productive with a new captain that wants to learn. Shocking!
I am drained.
And more meetings this morning.
YIKES!
You could probably benefit from a little prayer, which you will have from me tonight. :-)
A note of thanks, for your recent trip thru the motor city.
A “new captain that wants to learn” sounds promising. Y’all need some good news after the past few weeks. Fingers crossed for luck that he or she works out well!
Thank those serving.
Honor those who served.
NEVER forget the fallen!
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...is it still spring? Are you and Tippy able to make the trek for sunrise yet?
It snowed here all morning, but now the sun is out, the snow is melting, and it is high 30s. With possible snow tonight.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I pulled up the Lake Hood cam this afternoon and saw SUNSHINE. LOL Too bad it didn’t stick around but y’all had it for a little while at least. And it warmed things up enough to melt a lot of the new snow. Parking lots went from white to water and slush.
I know y’all are beyond ready for spring after the long, long winter.
Good evening, linMcHlp...glad you enjoyed.
Good evening, radu...how did your weather behave today? Dry? Windy? Warm?
We just had some heavy gusts go thru, but it seems to be settling down to just breezy...and drip, drip, drip.
Even if you’ve watched these before, they’re great repeats; enjoy.

“That was one of the most accurate Vietnam war movies, most people don’t realize that MOH recipients to be saluted by all members of the military regardless of Rank. Well done.”
It was another gorgeous day here though a bit toasty if one was in the sunshine. It felt nice if in the shade. Clouds are beginning to move in from the south ahead of a wet system that will give us some rain showers tomorrow.
Thee must have been some good gusts up there overnight or early this morning. As the sun was beginning to break through this morning, the lighting was just right for us to see a bunch of snowballs across Lake Hood. Like little tumbleweeds but they're snow. A chatter who lives in Sterling said during their TV weather report this evening, they did a piece about them.
Can't say I've ever seen anything like them before. LOL
Good evening, Pro...hope spring is still around.
It snowed all morning here....and now it’s mostly all melted.
Thanks...I am completely out of energy. For a non-pay week, this has been a doozy.
