WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Connie, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities. Love the "economy is so bad..." Gotta share that.

Now our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today....Scattered thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon hours. Humid. High 92F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

~ Tonight....A stray thunderstorm is possible through the evening. Partly cloudy. Low 67F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Today, I'll be in the lurker mode here at the Canteen. This is the last day in the office for a week and I have lots to take care of before I leave today. Pager will be on and I'll respond as soon as I can.

Looks like it's time for another installment of

DID YOU KNOW?

The average life expectancy of a queen bee is 6 years, a worker bee, 6 months, and a drone, just 8 weeks.

All porcupines float in water.

A type of lizard, the chuckwalla, escapes pursuers by crawling into a crack in a rock and inflating its body with air so that it is wedged tightly into the crack and can't be pulled out.

The mineral calcium prevents or helps alleviate muscle cramps.

Well, that was fun, but now......

I've got to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean.........Cause.......if you don't........I'll tell Ma!

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

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))

Great to be here this morning.

Tired of all this heat and humidity, yet?

Just think if we were rich we could spend our days lying by a pool and sipping cold tea or margaritas. LOL

[ConorMacNessa]

I've had enough of the heat and humidity for sure. Off tomorrow, so I guess I can sweat it out in the garden.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Good morning, dear ((HUGS))

YUM! That egg burrito looks so good I want to go get one for breakfast...and I’ve just eaten.

[E.G.C.]

Good morning, Tomkow6

((HUGS))Good morning, Beach.

How's it going?

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning beachy and (((HUGS))) to you too.

I am starving too this morning. Got a nice shower yesterday.

[tomkow6]

Looking forward to the week-end.

We have our annual breakfast this Saturday for the members of our Amvets post.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning and ((HUGS)) EG. All is well. Had to go to supply and get a new keyboard and I got a wireless mouse while there. It’s nice to have new things.

Howz things out your way? Got Chuck to eat yet?

[beachn4fun]

A nice shower? Like a typical summer shower?

[E.G.C.]

Chuck has been eating quite a bit the last few days ever since the doc got om him about not eating enough.

He woke up this morning to taake a look at Bo dog tail. It looked a little ragged in a couple of spots but didn't look too much like there was any wounds.

The one way you find out if a dog is wounded is if there's a trail of blood. That's what Chuck told me.

We also clalled the plumber again yesterday. The kitchen sink is still stopped up. They will be coming by in the next few days.

BTW, folks in Arizona hang in there. I can tell you there are far more people on your side than on the side of the Obama Regime in your battle.

Not much else going on. Forecast to hit around 100 over many of the next few days.

[luvie]

Glad to hear that Chuck is eating better and that Bo’s tail
is ok! Hate to hear about the high heat...same for us. Ugh.

Yes, thank you EGC....you folks in Arizona have our support
and prayers as this new law takes place amongst a circus of
protest including the Pinko Stinkos! I saw them in DC...you
will want a bath if you have to get anywhere near them! LOL!
God be with your very brave governor and all of you!

[Arrowhead1952]

Well, we got about 1/2 inch at home and probably close to 1 inch at work. There was a low pressure system that has been sending a lot of moisture into Texas and we have had on and off showers for the past few days.

[luvie]

We are all here to hold your hand and give whatever support we can, Drumbo! God bless you and Mikey!

[luvie]

Whoooooooo dat gettin' here so early!
Well! It's those Early Birds! Hi!...and
...have a GREAT day!

[PROCON]

Morning Beachie!!

You're taking a week off!!??

Well, I hope you stay in touch.

I'm taking another 3 day weekend, going to do some fun stuff with sonboy.

Have a tremendelicious day!

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning LUV W and (((HUGS))) to you. It’s a nice day here today, and may get more rain later today.
