SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO THE

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

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities
This is going to be a post-n-run day.
Still have an urgent task to finish,
yeah, the same one I've been working on all week. UGH!

WOW, did you read about Kansas and Arizona
filing lawsuit against Fed govt
to change the voting registration form
to allow proof of citizenship?
We DESPERATELY, URGENTLY
need people like this in Maryland.
Maryland is run by limp, wet-noodle liberals.

Oh, speaking of urgently needed...
I need someone out in the entertainment world
to add a new line up to our local radio stations.
I am tired of having only country, hip-hop/teen hits,
and oldies to chose from.
We need a good blues/jazz station.
Even a nice New Age-Spa channel would be nice
to keep calm on those long commutes.
And I don't want to have to pay to listen to music either!
Bad enough I have to pay to watch TV!

Got to run.

I'm going to spoon up some wicked soup
and head back to work.
My apologies in advance if I don't make it back
to say hello personally.

DC METROLAND WEATHER

Skies will become partly cloudy this afternoon.
High 88F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

Making Z Zoup
A cup of this...a teaspoon of that...

The koala is one of the few land animals
that does not need water to supplement its food.

About 24 percent of alcoholics die
in accidents, falls, fires, and suicides.

If the moon were placed on the surface
of the continental United States,
it would extend from San Francisco
to Cleveland (2,600 miles).

Elephants, lions, and camels
roamed Alaska 12,000 years ago.
(now all Ma has to worry about are bears and moose)

The nation of Chile’s name is from an Indian word,
Tchili, meaning “the deepest point of the earth".

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
