Update from Graceland.

Switched back to Face-2-Face games.
Got multi-opponents thankfully, we're playing classic games of Advanced Squad Leader.
Today's scenario is "Aces High", from ASL Scenarios - Heat of Battle - Waffen SS 3 - Neither Fear Nor Hope!

Maybe I'll return after golf season :) Will need to reinstall game to continue our long lasting battles.
Meanwhile, have more time to evaluate my stock/crypto trading and sports betting.
The cancel culture has done me a favor, for squeezing the fun out of online & regular life. Now I just street preach.

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
Oh why

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answers, answers gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream
Oh, please let my dream
Come true
Right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

Don't let the b***ers win Elvis!! We've never played but I've been impressed by your stamina and your sense of humour.

Hope to see you back at some point.

Good luck!

Game #128 [LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (ThundarLizard2 = Axis) ---> Tight game, Moscow falls as Allies entered Germany. Allies surrender December 1944. Won't be able to gain ground.

No Vax, No Masks, No worries for the Legend.
Been wanting to catch 'Rona for 18-months by licking shopping carts and walking through crowds for several years.
5 weeks ago, when my last Tour ended, no wonder I felt like crap, got the 'Rona at a Basketball Camp.
I beat Rona, no problem.
Been cleared for battle.
Had faith, have never worried, if my number is up, it's up.

Anyone wanna game? I set-up 4-games and 4-games only. Password = rona
(1-game only)

Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
It's so lonely just sitting there
And dreaming of
That girl a thousand miles away
Yes, it's still lonely having
Just her picture here with me
And I know I just can't stand it anymore
I'm gonna leave right now
And go back where I ought to be
Goin' home to the girl that I adore
Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
It's so lonely hard just sitting there
And dreaming of
That girl a thousand miles away
Well, every time I hear
Her sweet voice on the telephone
I know I just can't stand it another day
I'm gonna call her back and tell her that I'm comin' home
Call her back and say, "I'm comin' home to stay"
Call her back and say, "I'm comin' home to stay"

I see that, lets do this. Hope things are good on your side of the Pond. Close friend of mine just got back from visiting that Island. Went to some huge Rollercoaster park NW of the Capital. I didn't pay too much attention to detail. Some neighborhood pubs also.

Going to see your 007 on Sunday, No Time to Die. Popcorn + Butter + Coke.

You're funny. I do miss the Coke of the 80's, because it came in a bottle. Also, Mountain Dew. The Devil's Juice & drugs not my thing. Be around it and recycled American beer occasionally, but that's back in school days, kid's stuff.

Favorite 007:
1) Goldfinger
2) SkyFall
3) From Russia With Love
4) Diamonds Are Forever
5) Spectre

I didn't mean to offend you just making a light hearted joke.

But you are right Coke/Pepsi ice cold in a bottle is so much better than in a can or what you get in a fast food outlet.

Not really a film fan but I do like the classic WW2 British films like 663 Squadron, the Dam busters and the Longest Day

Ha! Me get offended on a computer, never. How could anyone get offended on a computer?

Bottle (glass) is better for all beverages. Coke, Beer. Yes, even the temperature is better. Plastic bottles are awful. I see people buy water in plastic bottles all the time. There has to be floating particles of plastic. Get water for a well with a purifier or test it yourself.

I don't watch many films nor TV, most are made by the Devil and have bunch of Devil stuff in them. Wait, I mean I don't like to pay for it. Free and sharing logins. I do like the classic, "The Longest Day", because John has a long mustache. Going to James Bond movies is more pf a cultural and social event. Same with Star Wars. I don't even like Star Wars since episode #5, but I'll go to the big screen for that.

One of the first things any preacher has to learn, is never get offended. Was taught Psalm 119:165 in the days of my youth: Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

@ElvisJJonesRambo - I don't think comments like "No Vax, No Masks, No worries for the Legend. Been wanting to catch 'Rona for 18-months by licking shopping carts and walking through crowds for several years." belong on a wargame forum like this and can be seen as offensive/inappropriate. I'd kindly ask you edit your post to remove it to avoid starting a discussion on vaccines, masks, and public health.

Redrum, I understand your point but too many people are itching to be offended. Elvis was just kidding. I laughed out loud at the image of him licking shopping carts. He has an amazing sense of humor and he obviously was not attempting to start a serious discussion. It's great to be able to laugh when times are terrible.

I read accounts of German foot soldiers on the Eastern Front cracking jokes about terrible conditions. Hardened men would state things like "Heavy rain today" during a murderous bombardment. Sometimes you got to have a sense of humor to survive.
