DC Metroland weather report

~ Today.....Sunny. Hot. High 99F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight.....Mostly clear. Warm. Low 74F. Winds light and variable.

Man, oh man, has it been hot. I can't remember the last time we were this hot in early June. Keeping my fingers crossed that the prediction for cooler temps in a couple of days comes true.

I stayed in the house as much as possible this weekend. And we did have another thunderstorm Saturday night. Hope everyone north of us around Illinois and Michigan faired okay over the weekend. I hear they got a taste of the wicked weather.

I was reading the Farmer's Almanac for our zone and find that it looks like July weather is happening in June. If that's not the case, then we are in for one of the hottest, wettest summers in a long time.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do, even thought I'd rather be doing something else.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Thank you all so much, this is my last enlistment extension, 1 yr and 9 months till age 60, then I must give up what I have loved doing for 40 years. I kind of figured my much better half “mystery” would have someone post that pic, I was so happy to be able to get sworn in while flying in a CH47, I spent the best 14 years of my career as the First Sgt of a Chinook Company. I lurk here alot, dont post much, but I must Thank all of you involved in the Canteen for the fantastic job you do. I just love coming here.

Again, Thank You all. Will be home to see Mystery and my two grandsons sometime next month, have missed them very much.

It's hot and final exams are starting today. SHould be ... interesting.

Later I have to bring my PC into the Geek Squad. I downloaded an update from MS (big mistake, don't know why I did that) and now the machine won't start at all. I'm getting a bad feeling about that...

Anyway, I tried taking it last night, but the store was closing as I was getting there.

Remember when they told us that computers would make our lives easier?

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he’s doing a show in a small town in Florida.

With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual routine that includes blonde jokes.

Suddenly, a blonde woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and starts shouting: ‘I’ve heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person’s hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It’s guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as a person because you and your kind discriminate against blondes,and all in the name of humor!’

The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells, ‘You stay out of this, mister! I’m talking to that little shit on your knee’.
