Good evening, AZ...thanks for the red, white, and blue tribute to our troops.

Hope you had a good day. Was your commute quiet? *HUGS*

I forgot about my haircut...just got back.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It is my pleasure....we need to see our men and women in the military, those that protect us, those that are forgotten by the alphabet news and the print media. We MUST recognize them for the heroes that most are!

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s starting to cool down at night. The sun has been scarce lately.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Repaired it by yourself....good for you. We waited for a month for the Sears repairman to fix the ice maker...he called in sick that day and we have waited another month...he is supposed to be here Friday.

You did great...fixed the part, saved money, and didn’t have to wait.

A sprinkle of this...a splash of that...

The Beatles' last concert took place August 29, 1966,
before a crowd of 25,000 people in the 45,000-seat capacity
Candlestick Park (now called 3Com Park).
Although the group recorded together until 1970,
they did not play live in concert after 1966
because of the frenzy and noise of the crowds.
The last song they played — Long Tall Sally.

Astronomers believe that the universe contains
one atom for every 88 gallons of space.
(trying to wrap your mind around this is likely to make you crazy)

Montpelier, Vermont is the only U.S. state capital
without a McDonald's.

English has replaced Russian as the most popular
foreign language in schools in China.
(Isn't it ironic? When English in America is being replaced by Spanish?)

The chiao is an official unit of currency in China.
Also known as jiao,
it is a copper-zinc coin that is one-tenth of a yuan
and equal to 10 fen.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Waiting for my walk buddy.
So, I'll try to make my rounds before she gets here.
Please stick around.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
