quote: ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake I want to put in some bistro lights to use at parties but I figured they would give me **** so I left them off the plan but included them in the materials list. The new Gurppenfeuhrer is not as stupid as Frau Palacios. She was on it right away. Now I have them get them signed off by the neighbors and send in new plans with "setbacks" to neighboring properties Check your contracts and your addendums. (Spelling?) Then again, redo your plans to make it really over the top and garish. Then when there are objections, scale it down to what you want and they might consider that a victory. Of course, if the Gruppenfeuhrer visits and you offer her coffee or some other beverage with some token bite to eat, there could also be a plate nearby with some innocent looking, small pieces of what appear to be candy on a plate. Do not offer her any but don't keep her from eating any Ex-Lax either. [8D] Then again, giving people some high oxalate foods on a hot day when they may not drink enough fluids . . . [:D]

How long is that sign going to stay up after a nice, dark stormy/foggy night? Acid makes no sound . . . [:'(]

The problem is Darwin now has level 7 forts, four full AAA regiments and hundreds and hundreds of smaller AA guns.

Interested to see what happens to the CVE Unyo. They tend to be fragile, as I recall. My HOA cut down three of the four trees I had in the front yard. They replaced one with a crappy bush that seems to hate the California summers. The HOA dues have outstripped inflation every year so far. I wish my investments could do so well... T Rav

T Rav Unyo was claimed sunk. Maybe. Maybe not. I had a bunch of subs along her escape route and no attacks so maybe so. One time I double-paid a couple of gas bills and didn't discover it for a long time because I was busy or stupid. Anyway. They keep the money but credit me interest. When I finally found out I was a little surprised they didn't try a bit more aggressively to reach me but the interest they paid was damn good. [:D] I asked the girl on the telephone if I could transfer my IRA to SDG&E. She said she would have to ask her manager. I snorted I was laughing so hard.

At least one BB and one CA and 4 CVE's are distracted in the PI and Borneo. 10+ DD's and 1 or 2 CA's at Singers 120 fighters and 110 bombers at Singers 100 fighters and 100 long range naval bombers at Kendari 70 fighters in the Moluccas 45 fighters on Ceram 80 fighters 100 bombers at Beazelbob I think Guam has 20+ Vals and some Lillies Pagan has some Vals No combat A/C at Saipan or Tinian...yet Today was the first recon of Guam, Saipan and Tinian for months so that will likely get JJ's attention but it seems the carriers and transports have not been spotted yet Plan is to stage the carriers about 5 hexes off Guam and attack the AF with all the TBF's on day with a heavy CAP to absorb strikes. Then on night 1/2 naval bombardments of Guam and Saipan. The transports will lag because I wanted a carrier strike the first day we are spotte.

Probably have to suspend landing operations at Sabang for now and get the planes out. Some of the planes at Singers may well start moving to the Marianas.
