Making Z Zoup
A cup of this...a teaspoon of that...

A cumulonimbus cloud can be enormous:
six miles across and eleven miles high,
and twice as high as Mount Everest.

Believe it or not,
175 people are needed to assemble
the approximate 500 tons
of equipment for the Ringling Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey Circus –
the "Biggest Show on Earth."

Actor Steve McQueen encouraged his karate teacher
to pursue a career in acting.
The teacher? Chuck Norris.
McQueen is quoted as telling Norris,
"If you can't do anything else, there's always acting."

TV’s popular cartoon duo Rocky and Bullwinkle
represented a number of General Mills cereals
from 1959 to 1970: Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, Jets, and Trix.

When we smile broadly, we use seventeen muscles.

Going to go out for a quick morning walk before it gets hot.
But I'll be back to catch up on pings.

Today and tonight are going to be very interesting.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

Watching the radar for your area. It looks like these storms are at least several hours away from your location. Stay Safe.
