That really came out of the blue. Only thing I can think of are the peppers I sprinkled on my pizza last night or the red IPA from Escondido I had with the pizza.

I promise I never had a thing for Raisa Gorbachev. Anyone got any ideas what it means?

Well, you have to admit the young Bebe was quite a handsome fellow. Even, so I don't see even the slightest resemblance between Bebe Rebozo and Raisa Gorbachev so I think you are not very good at dream analysis.


It was the damndest thing. I go to a hole in the wall steakhouse where they cut off your tie and nail it to the wall and there is a big picture of Rebozo and Nixon sitting on the same side of the table (not that there is anything wrong with that) having drinks. Then, 5 days later, I'm at El Adobe in San Juan Capistrano and there is Nixon again, but this time with Pat and, of course, she is drinking. Odd, very odd. Clearly there was some force at work to cause me to question my previous assumptions. Things like that just don't happen. That is the same place where that 3 year old clobbered me in the cajones.

No, that's the usual level of discourse around here. Sometimes we post about a game we made up.

P-47 squadron partially outfitted at Batan Is. We try a sweep over Takao today with its 145 fighters. We order some annoying night raids by B-17's over Takao just to be....well...annoying, I guess.

Karenko (the town in Formosa, not the guard at the re-education camp in Omsk): Bad, baaaaaaad die roll. It's like we rolled 3 "1's" with dodecahedral dice. It's part of Scenario 2, I think. A guy named Stewart from down under is in charge. He has a naval rating of 83. I'm thinking he had someone take the test for him. He skipped the "Radar is your firend" lecture as well. We just get our Arried asses kicked! Even so, the landing craft are unperturbed.

Night Time Surface Combat, near Karenko at 87,64, Range 5,000 Yards

Japanese Ships
DD Murasame, Shell hits 2
DD Yayoi

Allied Ships
CL Perth, Shell hits 3, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage
CL Concord
DD Gansevoort, Shell hits 3, heavy fires, heavy damage

This looks like a bad die roll ... The "leaders(+), leaders(-)" was not in the previous combat so I am assuming that a leader of the 268th failed his die roll? and This caused his AV/firepower to be greatly reduced?

No doubt about it. The British Museum is the finest antiquities museum I have ever been to. They just have an unbelievable collection of cool stuff dug up in other countires by little brown men at 3 cents per day. Also, there is an astounding collection of bronze and iron age objects that had just been tossed into a bog somewhere on the British Isles by whoever came before the Celts. Evidently, some of these proto-Celts were involved in the design of AE because I frequently see valuable objects tossed into the water during amphibious landings.

When I was at the British Museum I just turned a corner and there was the Rosetta Stone. No line. No guards. Nobody else even cared. I was astounded, not knowing it had been dug up by little brown men and brought to London. I called out to me kids, "Hey guys! It's the f****** Rosetta Stone!" Just like that. I used the gerund form of a verb derived from the Old High German to emphaisze the links between civilizations. It is the duty of a parent to use such opportunities to impart wisdom.
