Welcome to the Canteen, Kryn-Man...we have a new thread every day. We are here to honor our troops and veterans.

Glad we could make your day.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))

Did you have a good day of lessons? How’s Linda?

[luvie]

I am in awe of those guys and gals that, through great personal sacrifice, keep the engine of America running and keep us free from all the bad guys who want to destroy it!

Thanks for reminding us of these heroes, Kathy! (((hugs)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Slid thru 2 intersections in my own neighborhood coming home. One was occupied...fortunately they didn’t move til I stopped sliding. Only going about 15 mph, but slid nonetheless. So helpless.

Wishing you a better day tomorrow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, AZ, and thank you for the red, white, and blue tribute.

Thanks for letting me know the Ping didn’t work. Twice I got the proxy error, that I get every thread, and assumed it went through. Mistake. LOL!

Did you have a good day? An easy commute? No critters biting at your tires?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...((HUGS))...they are indeed our heroes.

Sorry you had a bad day, Big Guy! Hope your tomorrow is better! (((hugs)))

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a busy day and night so we'll see how it goes. Usually on busy days it rains.

Sounds like your neighbors have a handle on road conditions as well. How about your moose? tomorrow
