Guh...what a week of work. No turns produced. One would think I work with Logboy.

But I don't. I just suck. Aliens get no comfort here on this oxygen-poisoned planet. I'm ready to play The Longest Day with some bipedal reject and then pass into the beyond. Anyone game?

The Longest Day? The old AH monster? I loved that game, even with it's quirkiness.

Yessir....it's one of the few that remain in my closet in the hopes one day I may actually play it against someone other than myself.

I still have the AH Luftwaffe game in my closet. Loved it, but it was difficult for the German player to win.

Where has everyone been tonight? Surely not out somewhere with real people in the real world on a Saturday night?

Back from a long day doing chores. Tithe

I Did pick up a used copy of "The Fleet that God Forgot". I am lucky enough to have a local bookstore that feeds my history addiction.
He specializes in WWII with an emphasis on the German East Front still I can often find gems in his used bin.

Drowning myself in rye and rumination. Bad rye I might...this is not what the good Lord intended as whiskey. Never again will it sully my cupboard.

But it is what it is...and now some good coffee and rest. Perhaps tomorrow will let the light into the tunnel. Light into the darkness. Brightness into the mist of morose.

Or not. C'est la vie.

Trouble getting to sleep last night, so I watched an uplifting movie about humanity and the fine and upstanding virtuous NGOs that protect humanity so well. It was called "Hotel Rwanda". Really uplifting movie....not.

Wow!

I'm sorry I laughed in my earlier post! I'd had no idea that the conditions were still bad. (Sorry, my TV's packed and the news blogs I've looked at really haven't gone into that kind of detail.). So again, I sorry for you,Terminus and Dixie, I didn't mean to laugh at you misfortune.

I wish that it was fiction, or even simply in the past. But I honestly think that a lot of the NGO's out there don't help with problems, they make them worse.

No misfortune mate. It's not affecting me right now.

May 9th tithe.

I know that this date means different things for different people, for some, perhaps nothing at all. For some it's about who won. For others its about how, and with what weapons and tactics. For some, its about politics and ideology. I wanted to tell you what it means for me.

For me, this day is about all the young men and women who never came back. As I look at the photographs of their happy, smiling faces, pictured before the war or during some moment of respite in the action, and I ask myself, who were they? When people speak of the Greatest Generation, I strongly disagree. In those photographs, I do not see people who are any different than myself. I see young people, in the prime of their lives, who wanted to live, love, raise families. Instead, they went to war, and they did not come back.

For me this day is about them. With all my heart I want to thank them for the sacrifice they made so that I, and my often thankless generation, could enjoy the things that we have.

Interesting part of this year's Victory Day parade in Moscow was the presence of US and British troops. Wonder what the REAL reaction in the Russian people was to this, as opposed to the one reported by lazy Western media?

I read one comment from a Russian veteran, who said he had no problem with the presence of foreigners in Red Square. "I don't know any Americans, but I was quite happy to eat their sausages at the front".

No misfortune here. I wasn't referring to airport closures, but that fact that all the ash in the atmosphere probably contributes to making this a cold spring around here...
