Aloha Night Owl!

Just when I think I'm going to get a scolding for bringing up politics, the economy, the general malaise in the country on the Canteen, a boon to the E'sprit De Corps which I hope all the troops and sailors around the globe look into from time to time to find support and common ground from elders and vets, moms and dads and just plain old curmudgeons who wish them the best; I get a pass.

Besides, it's all Writer 33's fault.

Hope the kids are down here this weekend....like hoping the weather is nice so we'll be outdoors, frolicking in the tide pools or visiting the zoo. Maybe a trip to the MX track. You have no idea the housework that's created after their visits on rainy days.

Pretty much the topic of the day...civility, some humor, and letting our troops know, that no matter what, they will be honored and supported by all who enter the Canteen.

And ya gotta watch writer...LOL!!

Tide pools and zoos....what fun for young and old!
