USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Help Decorate the Canteen Christmas Tree ~ December 14 2002
68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen

It's that time of year to start decorating the Canteen Christmas Tree.
We know from traffic stats from the Post Office that military lurkers come here daily.
They come to "escape" from the often dreary world they live in while ensuring our Freedom.
Many of our service men and women are experiencing their 1st Holiday Season away from home.
Will you take a few moments from your day today to post an ornament for the tree?
This may be cyberspace but know that military lurkers today will know they are not forgotten.

"Miserable rain and treacherous driving to and from work."Are you catching the storm that caused the Coast Guard to rescue that sailboat? Wind heavy enough to blow down a fence is not fun.
Drive slowly and very carefully.
"ALMOST made me late for work." Hehehe! Almost doesn't count. We do have an alarm NOT dependent on electricity, right?

In view of the President's decision to innoculate the troops against small pox, Commander in Chief included, here's an interesting quote by Ben Franklin from his autobiography ....... In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation. This I mention for the sake of parents who omit that operation, on the supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it; my example showing that the regret may be the same either way, and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen. Thanks for this post.

Hey radu, we can ride to the top and slide down to the bottom and even control our speed.
This way we don't have very far to fall.

"Paul Harvey"
The following was published in a local paper (and therefore is true) as excerpted from 'Paul Harvey's For What It's Worth' (Bantom Books), and since it's from a book it MUST be true! These are purported to be Paul's best wierd, but true, stories:
We visit Altoona, PA, where TV anchorman Brandon Brooks demonstrated for his viewers how to protect their homes from burglars. He used his own home to demonstrate... Double locks on doors, windows that will not open from the outside, burglar alarms... Now it appears that thieves were watching the program. They not only learned where the double locks were, but where the TV set was and the VCR and the furniture and other things. So a few nights later - while Brandon Brooks was on the air back at the studio - the thieves broke into his house and cleaned him out. That window that won't open from the outside? They smashed it.
Police Chief Clifton Sullivan - Russell Springs, KY - got a call from a lady who wanted her bachelor neighbor arrested for indecent exposure The chief went to her house and witnessed for himself... The fact was that the man next door was in his bathroom shaving. 'But,' the chief said, 'with the bottom part of the man's bathroom window covered as it is, I cannot tell if the bottom part of the man is wearing anything or not.' 'But,' the woman said, 'Well, you just stand on this chair and stand on your tiptoes and you'll see!'
Ed Ruffing reports in the Utica, NY, Observer-Dispatch. Burglars in suburban Marcy were carrying the TV set down the driveway when the next-door neighbor called out: 'Hey, are you going to fix her TV set?' And the burglars called back, 'Yes.' And the neighbor asked, 'Mine needs fixing, could you take it, too?' And the burglars said, 'Be glad to.' And they did.
We visit Raleigh, NC, where a state cop stopped a drunken driver. While he was ticketing the man, there was a multicar accident on the other side of the divided highway. The highway patrolman told the drunk to wait. The patrolman went across the highway to sort out the accident. After awhile the drunk figured he'd waited long enough and he drove on home and told his wife that if anybody asked she should say he had been in bed with the flu all day. Within the hour, two state patrolmen appeared at the home of the drunken driver and asked to see him. He came from the bedroom wrapped in a robe and coughing and wheezing. The patrolman asked if he'd been drinking that evening, and he said he'd been sick in bed. They apologized for bothering him and asked if they could take a look at his car. The drunk escorted them to the garage and inside was - a highway patrol car, the blue lights still flashing.
