Good morning!
Grollub, if they complain about the target you choose (which I doubt), but you can tell them of some suggestions that were given to you later.

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Poor Alex took a hard shot square in the grill in his last game of the season Saturday night. Later in the game, he was knocked over and hit the side of his head on the goal post. He came away with a mild concussion. CT scan shows no bleeding or swelling, but 4 days later he still has a severe headache and some nausea. Went to a neurology specialist in concussions this morning and he is not worried about any damage, only trying to get Alex to feel better and recover from the headache. Most likely, the concussion has triggered a migraine as well. Dr pulled Alex out of school for the rest of the week and started a strong migraine treatment for several days. No physical activity, no computer, video games, television, or even texting on his phone. Alex is pretty miserable, but his mom and I are extremely relieved that there is no permanent damage.

Hmmm ...
SWEBDE is advancing along MSR A running from NARVIK to KIRUNA when the Bde S6 hands over a paper with the comment "New orders, Sir".
Opening it, you read; "SWEBDE will immediately halt its advance, turn around and return to NARVIK at once. Once there, the Bde will;
1/ board the transports of TF85, commanded by RADM Shintaro Hashimoto aboard the CL Sendai, for immediate transport to the invasion target Khota Bharu.
2/ Immediately start prepping for the invasion site.
The invasion will be supported by a bombardment TF centered around the BB Haruna, RADM N. Inano commanding, as well as LBA based at Saigon.
The beach is estimated to be defended by one Indian Bde plus support troops.
ORBAT plus relevant annexes to be handed out in ten minutes.
Please hand in your invasion plan NLT time of reciept + 4 hrs.

No, I didn't ... but heaven knows I was tempted just to see the shell shocked expressions this would've caused [:D]

Being one who had a few concussions in my time, one by sports, the other by fast car that was not in a sporting event, although it was a sports car. Note the past tense, as it was not recognizable as a car afterwards. Concussions are nothing to sneeze at. Glad there is no permanent damage. I few days of "discomfort" from being "unplugged" is good for one's soul. Hope he feels better soon!ORIGINAL: USS America

Doc said reading is ok for 30 minutes at a time, Marc. Now, Alex thinks that's way too long to read, but that's another problem. [:D]
