Thank you!

That was completely unplanned, by the way.



Yuri, you seriously need a hobby! Or at least a PBEM! Or maybe your GFU just needs to shorten your leash...


I should get AE before I PBEM.

So youre saying that blasting is a bad hobby?


No, I'm saying that it's a compulsion , not a hobby! Tell you what , you get AE , and I'll get the damned thing working right , and we can have a re-match. You can then join the long list of players who have kicked my butt!


I'm just sharpening my wit.

Back from Vienna... it was very nice showy white Advent experience...


Pinky, if I could reach you, I would hurt you.....not out of any dislike at all, but rampant jealousy.


Yuri...

BTW, there was lots and lots of Russians there... nicely dressed women (men not so much but with huge golden wristwatches )...

Also the third language there is clearly Russian - there is German (of course), English and, as a third, Russian (at first I didn't immediately translate to myself what all those "BEHA" signs and books and guides were but then "the lightbulb in my head turned on"...


Leo "Apollo11"


So I understood. IMHO, Russians with oodles of money can ruin a place pretty quick.

Speak for yourself there. We're supposed to get a big blast through here-30" of snow is a distinct possibility for Christmas. White Christmas indeed!

We only got a couple inches in the storm, but it has been very cold at night, so what little melts re-freezes. We are heading west though, tomorrow. I have hopes of a white Christmas there.

Hey Mynok,

Come out our way. I guar--on--tee y'all a white Christmas. And then some...




You just want to get someone to help you shovel.

Right then.

My wife was on call a few years back, when she received a phone call from a good Samaritan motorist that stopped to pick up an injured animal and brought it to the clinic where my wife (also a veterinarian) worked.

The motorist was driving home and noticed a red fox struggling to get to its feet by the side of the road. Figuring that the animal had been hit by a car, she scooped it up (and had her kids help her do so) and put it into her trunk, transporting it to the hospital.

After a brief examination, my wife determined that the fox had, in fact, not been struck by an automobile, but was having neurologic disease from another cause. As the area where we lived was heavily endemic with rabies in the fox population, this was a distinct possibility. As the animal was somewhat fractious (growling / attempting to nip), the fox was humanely euthanized and tested for rabies. It was positive.

As veterinary students, both my wife and I went through the regimen of vaccine prophylaxis for rabies. We periodically have our titers rechecked to see if we're still protected-we are. Of course, the same cannot be said for families that, in spite of good intentions, expose themselves to rabid animals by close contact. IIRC, the family (at least the ones handling the fox) had to undergo prophylactic vaccination.

Foxes that act odd or confrontational are to be avoided. Same with skunks, racoons, possums, dogs and the like. Neurologic disease in these species should be considered rabies suspects until proven otherwise. I have a healthy respect for those diseases that are almost invariably fatal to human beings that are in our midst.

Now don't even get me started on rabid cows...





Do tell.

Pardon my ignorance, but I had thought that rabies, as such, tends to be fairly rare in nature and that verious neurological diseases quickly lead to the animal's demise.

I am careful around all wild animals.


Considering you live in a state where most wild animals can easily take off an arm, I'd say thats good strategy.

I am getting ready to read Ambrose's book on D-Day.


His book on Pegasus Bridge was much better


What is Pegasus Bridge?

The British airborne assault against bridges securing the left flank of the Sword beach area in Normandy. Superb example of a coup de main against a critical strategic landmark.

FWIW, I thought both books were very good. Pegasus bridge was a faster read (a much shorter book) though.

ETA: I could have sent you to a wikipedia citation (shudders), but thought you'd benefit from a realistic summary.

I wonder if the wiki citation referred to the use of the British gliders as terror weapons specifically used to reign down terror on the Chinese population? I guess that was just the G3/G4 entry...



The game Call of Duty did a rather good job reenacting that, if anyone is into FPS.

I cannot possibly be incorrect, thus you are incorrect in reference to the incorrectness you illogically mentioned above because of your fanboy allegiance to outmoded concepts found in poorly researched books you are obviously misinterpreting since you do not agree with all of the brilliant points I am making , or, in other words, I cannot hear your arguments over the sound of my own awesomeness.
