OK...just checked. You are indeed in the spam folder along with the free Viagra promos since 8-25. Not sure what happened.

Looks like we crossed emails then. Do you want me to build on your last turn?

I'm with Humphrey Bogart. I hate leeches.

Something, probably coyotes, tried to dig up Jerry. I think all that cilantro I fed him was too much for the coyotes. There was just a little fur..then they gave up. Hard to like coyotes too.

Might have been my neighbor trying to get evidence for the HOA too. I am pretty sure there is some rule about burying pets.

Chesty Puller and 30 Marines have flown in to Norfolk. Let's see if that works.

I was wondering when his name would come up in an AAR!

That's so culturally insensitive. You should have a 'bully beef' folder for him.[;)]

Not only that, because of the mal-coordination FUBAR, he had to redo his part 3 turns in a row .....and I told him there were no Jap fighters operating out of Wyndham......and, as a consequence, 2 collector's edition Vildabeest, hand autographed by Orville wright, were lost. [:o]

We'd be miffed but only get miffed when we run out of tea. So right now we're slightly hurt.

I figured it out, Cap. Being afraid to invade North-East Queensland directly for breeding stock of the Norfolk Island Hibiscus, they're going to the source at Norfolk Island.

I hope they brought a qualified horticulturist because Norfolk fell in a 4:1 attack to an SNLF and a Naval Guard unit.

New Edinburgh was well and mightily crushed by a night bombardment by Fuso and 2 CA. This was a surprise as I didn't estimate they could rearm/refuel and make it down to NE so quickly. I expected a daytime bombardment but hoped the B-17's would be airborne and the A-24's would have a shot. This apparently functionally shut down the airfield as there was no daytime attack by the A-24's or B-26's and all the 17's were grounded. When the sun came up, the airfield was again pounded by a 160 plane raid from the carriers and a subsequent raid by Sallys from New Ullapool.


An absolutely crushing defeat. At least 45 planes destroyed on the ground at New Edinburgh and 15+ at Norfolk. Looks like I should have waited on the surge to New Edinburgh. Oy. I need a drink.


Maybe the carriers are out of bombs, eh?

Let's hope so. I believe our mighty carrier armada is nearly assembled.

PS. You have the turn.

You know...I paid $240 in parking fines to the City of Los Angeles in one day (tag team effort by my daughters)....$1750 to an attorney(daughter)....$640 for going 63 in a 55 mph zone to the City of Orange (my bad...and dont EVER, EVER try to pay your ticket on line)...the tire on my truck decapped on the freeway at 70 mph and took out the rear quarter panel, the muffler, the running board, the tail light, the right rear door after I just got it fixed after my daughter ran it up the curb (daughter again)...Stalker Girl's ex is probably headed for BK and I half expect him to ask if he can move in....Jerry was attacked by the bobcat(I just threw this in..to be honest it didn't really bother me that much[:)]).....all this happened in one week. I just picked myself up and mixed me a sublime Martini with Bombay Saphire and a couple of freakishly large olives and all was well.


Then Fuso, smoking like a Tijuana trash dump, did terrible things to New Edinburgh Airfield......destroying 27 B-17's.

I am going to need therapy. I amnot kidding.
