The great intangible of America's wars beyond logistics, beyond strategy, beyond wonder weapons and Generals, is the spiritual force of its fighting men and women - and that is the force that the USO so serves.

Good mornin. My Mom's family was in Virginia before the Revolution. I still own the old place near Orkney Springs. Spent every summer there when I was living in Baltimore and Philly. My family is buried there. Maine is fine now, Cooler. Swedish cousins visited Eastport and bought a cowgirl hat at a gunshop plus Indian jewelry.

Mount Vernon was home to George Washington for over 45 years. Here he made his life with his wife Martha, returned from war, retired from public life, practiced pioneering farming methods, and left an indelible stamp of his personality and private tastes. Today, over 1 million people a year visit the estate to find the essence of the man known as the "Father of His Country."

Some Virginia history there I thought was especially interesting! The corrected Mount Vernon link:

WASHINGTON, July 2, 2002 - Virginians soon will be able to sport vehicle license plates bearing a Pentagon-shaped logo and the words "Fight Terrorism" emblazoned in red letters in remembrance of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on America. Continue Defense Link

Beautiful, as always, Snow Bunny. Thank you!

I'll second that. . . ,

. . but not even an honorable mention for the sprawling beauty of Potomac Mills Mall? /sarcasm

Hey, Potomac Mills is Virginia's monument to capitalism! I read a few years back that it's the most visited tourist site in the Commonwealth. I went once right after it opened. That was enough for me. I'll take the State Parks.

Good morning, Snow Bunny! Good morning, EVERYBODY!

HAPPY SATURDAY!

Oh, BOY! Casual Saturday AND LIBERTY CALL!

I'm READY!

Hey, Potomac Mills is Virginia's monument to capitalism!

You're right. I know I sound like one of those NIMBY guys but PM is a place to avoid, IMO. As for Virginia, I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Today's feeble attempt at humor:

What movies teach us...

Interbreeding is genetically possible with any creature from
elsewhere in the universe.

Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen
at night, you should open the fridge door and use that light
instead.

If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any
strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

Word processors never display a cursor on screen but will
always say: Enter Password Now.

Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their
family every morning even though their husband and children
never have time to eat it.

Cars that crash will almost always burst into flames.

The Chief of Police will always suspend his star detective
- or give him 48 hours to finish the job.

A single match will be sufficient to light up a room
the size of RFK Stadium.

Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.

Although in the 20th century it is possible to fire weapons
at an object out of our visual range, people of the 23rd
century will have lost this technology.

Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright
and pant.

It is not necessary to say hello or goodbye when beginning
or ending phone conversations.

Even when driving down a perfectly straight road it is
necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from
left to right every few moments.

All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with
large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going
to go off.

It is always possible to park directly outside any building
you are visiting.

A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended
from duty.

If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you
bump into will know all the steps.

Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the
communication systems of any invading alien civilization
(especially a Macintosh snicker, snicker!!)).

It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight
involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to
attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening
manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head,
they will never suffer a concussion or brain damage.

No-one involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic
eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.

Police Departments give their officers personality tests to
make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is
their total opposite.

When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English
to each other.

You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.

Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in
seconds -unless it's the door to a burning building with a
child trapped inside.

An electric fence, powerful enough to kill a dinosaur will
cause no lasting damage to an eight year old child.

Television news bulletins usually contain a story that
affects you personally at that precise moment you turn
the television on.

MMMMMM tasty..

This looks like it will be another great thread,
I am running out the door to go do some work..
I can't wait to see more of my new home state.

Thanks Snow Bunny
