Bring me the head of Diego Garcia...and the Mayor of Addu Atoll too!

As a JFB, that looks truly daunting. The Japanese have almost no surface combatants left!

I updated the "dive map" for Exmouth/Port Hedland to include DD,CL,CA,BB,CVE,CVL,CV

There are a lot more if you include transports and subs and smaller escorts. [:)]

That's a lot of dots.

Dios Mios!

That's a lot of steel lying offshore!

The "Polar Vortex" descends on Southern California.....we plummet to 76...but it's windy so it feels more like 72.

Exposed flesh can suffer from frostbite in...let me look it up...errr...ummmm..well, just wear your sunscreen and stay safe out there.

I think Stalker Girl was looking at naked pictures of Kolin Koepernick on my computer again.


The "Singles in Your Area" ad at the top of my email turned to guys again.

Air losses from the 22nd. We lost 5 Liberator GRIII on the long trip back to Chitti-chitti-gong-gong from Bangkok.

Do they have the same durability as the B-24D1?

[Cap Mandrake]

I looked it up.

GRIII......................Durability 60 Gun Value 17 Armor 0 Range 29
Liberator II...............Durability 60 Gun Value 28 Armor 1 Range 24
B-24D1.....................Durability 60 Gun Value 30 Armor 1 Range 20

Guns and armor for range.

The Internet spies read your posts about Inch-thick Skin and Rubbing Albanians.

You know, I was wondering about spybots too, but I didn't say anything because it sounded a bit paranoid. [:)]

Maybe we need more breastaurant stories.

Speaking of that, Stalker Girl jr. has taken to coming upstairs in the morning to get her Engrish muffin (which I paid for but that is another story) wearing this crazy grey wife beater type "t-shirt" which is just a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. I have to literally gaze at the floor. I rook rike I have high functioning autism.

In such a situation one has to take a step back and ask oneself WWWAD (what would Woody Allen do)?*

Rough day so far. First, my 100 lb Lab woke me up at 5:30 simpering and whining because it was windy and she was afraid.

Then, the little girls, who are just coming back from Idaho today, had left a crevah rittah prank for me. They put black make-up on the inside of my sunglasses. I didn't notice till I was getting out of the car and took my sunglasses off. Total raccoon face. It's an old gag but it worked well and made me late for my fist appointment after trying to get all the stuff off.[:-]

Outwitted by a 9 year old! There WILL be retribution!

Good show! Of course, you can't let on to that until the Official Secrets Act expires or something.

Just think of the bandwidth required to download all of the ads for hairstylists and choreographers in your area. You'll have to limit your search criteria to within 2 miles
to prevent your perusal time from interfering with the war.
