Car Links	THE CANTEEN SPORTS CORNER SPECIAL Do you love cars, motorcycles, and music? Today is your thread. We wanted to share with our troops a little reminder of home. As they are defending our freedom, we wanted to bring them some really cool choices for transportation. We've also asked some familiar names to share their favorite cars, motorcycles, and music. We'll share that with you a little further down. As usual, we provide links on the left and right hand side. The regular sports links are on the right. Click on the images and hyperlinks. A special thank you to MoJo's 8 year old son, Bobby. If you like the cars and motorcycles on this thread, you can thank him. He thought his mommy didn't have a clue and decided to help her out. Thank you, Bobby! (Be sure to check out his favorite car the Dodge Viper. It is the third picture at the top!!)	Weekly Thread Links

Name: Kathy In Alaska (Ma) Dream Car: Durango R/T  Price: Starting at 39K Idea: Ma won't ever buy one because she would rather spend money on the troops. So? Take a good look, Ma! (Bobby chose the song!) Name: Burka Man Dream Car: Well, it's cheap! Probably a collector's dream car. Idea: What can we say? It's Burka Man! Name: LaDivaLoca Dream Car: Hummer! (Oh! That's her motorcycle! Very cool!) Idea: I'm sure she'd let you ride on her motorcycle. If you can catch her first. Good luck! Name: Bentfeather Dream Car: Limo (What would you expect! She's a Diva!)

Name: Aeronaut Airplane:  Ask Aeronaut! This is his "main ride"! Idea: Yeah! You can fly on the ground with some of these cars, but it's just not the same thing. Name: BobJ Dream Car: 1959 Corvette Idea: Do you really need help to figure this one out? Name: MoJo2001 Dream Car: One that stays on the road. Preferably. If not, well any of the above cars will do for me. After all, it's your car and not mine. Idea: The idea is to have as many cars available for my driving tests. Anyone want to volunteer their car? Awww..thanks everyone!! Name: Never4Get Dream: Knowing that Burka Man and MoJo are out on the road. He has decided that lounging on the beach in his beach chair is the best place for him. So? You know where to find him. Idea: To hide from Ma's kids while they are driving. Thank you to everyone that participated! We hope you've enjoyed our little bonding experiment. Until Next Week! Oh! Here's some music for the young troops out there that don't like any of the music we've played so far. Enjoy! It will be gone by tomorrow. So? Listen while you can! Thank you!!

Good morning Jinx!

How be ya today???

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E.G.C. Today is supposed to bring "a shower or two" if it even develops. Our promised "sustained rain" seems to have vanished. *sigh* Hope Oklahoma is without heavy duty weather.

[HiJinx]

Good Morning, Ms. Feather!!

I am feeling so good today...if I felt any better I'd have to be two people just to hold it all!

What a thread MoJo and Bobby put up, isn't it great? I think your Limo is just the trick to get all the Canteeners out to the showrooms to pick up their new cars.

What do you think MoJo, shall we have a car run today?

[SouthernHawk]

That color is perfect (except our car had a Black vinyl roof). Sweet Car ! Can we take it for a spin?

Oh, how I miss our little muscle machine!THANKS

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good VROOOOOOOOOM morning, Tom! Good VROOOOOOOOM morning, Patriotic Pattie!

Hmmmmmmm.....maybe in your case it should be putt-putt-putt....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Bless This House sung along with this morning,
twice because I love this song for our troops USO Canteen,
and A Prayer of Protection
said for all who enter the USO Canteen Freeper Style,
including our troops, our veterans,
their families and our allies.

Welcome to all who come to honor our troops and veterans, for whom this USO Canteen was created.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Wherever you are, God is, and all is well!

Wherever you are, Godand all is well!

So, you're a native of Meridian?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, beach. Love that gorilla. He does such a sterling job of welcoming one and all. Our rain seems to have undeveloped. Maybe a little, maybe not.

[dixiechick2000]

Yes sir, I am indeed! Born and raised...

My hair is not quite that bad. lol

[E.G.C.]

Good morning, Kathy.

Been busy on the computer today. Yep, it's hot. We did have a cold front move through but it didn't amount to very much.:-D

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Dr Pepper delivery truck....it sure is cute. Thanks, Valerie.

[SouthernHawk]

Good Morning Kathy. We got your "sign off" last night and appreciate your kind words. Especially coming from somebody that contributes as much as you do!

When does your "sustained period of rains" begin?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Exercise is cancelled for today! Let's go play with all our "toys" and listen to the great music!

Now this sounds like an idea. Thanks, SH, and good morning to you. I'm glad your dream car was taken better care of than Tom's.
