Morning, Fiddlstix. Thanks for the tunes with breakfast.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Mayor. You should be hitting the road shortly to go pick up your family. Prayers for your safe trip, both going and coming home. Happy 4th of July.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yikes, I'm late. Off to work. Back in a bit.

[E.G.C.]

Yep, it's very hot and warm out here. I just finished mowing the lawn.

BTW, today is the day Norton updates their Liveupdate so if you have Norton be sure to update those virus definition lists.

Also, this is the day Microsoft usually sends down critical updates for their Windows products so be sure to check Windows Updates around 1:30 PM EDT to see if there are any new updates for your computer if you use Windows.

[SouthernHawk]

Good tips with regards to the updates!

[Fiddlstix]

White House Ceremony Marks 30 Years of All-Volunteer Force

By Sgt. 1st Class Doug Sample
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, July 1, 2003 — With right hands and voices raised, 30 military personnel from each branch of the armed forces repeated the oath of re-enlistment in the White House East Room today.

This re-enlistment ceremony marked the 30th anniversary of the all-volunteer force. Presiding over the event was Commander in Chief George W. Bush. Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, read the oath.

The White House ceremony was one of many held throughout the Defense Department on this special day. Enlistment ceremonies were also held at 65 Military Entrance Processing Stations throughout the United States.

The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong.
