Boys and girls, can YOU see how a Corps-sized unit is maintained by JJ at Kunming?



Maybe air transport from Burma to Tsuyung and thence overland by the paved road to Kunming? Do you have some fighter that can LRCAP over Tsuyung and see if they bag transports?

I'd be careful about this conclusion. Those cunning LYBs may have activated their Copperfield devices. Years ahead of their time.

Tanna fell today. I got 200-300 troops out but 750 were lost. The Japs had over 6,000 troops on Tanna. Now that New Scotland is going down it is not worth defending, but I would have prefered a smaller rear guard.

More artillery bombardment at La Foa. Supplies dwindle. A few more aircraft get out. Continue to evacuate men of 2nd Marine Regt and 2nd Marine Raider Bn. (+ "special cases" authorized by M&M Enterprises).

Could not fly off the F4F's today, somebody was siphoning fuel out of the tanks of HMAS Canberra in the Hornet TF and they failed to close within range. Now the air groups are fatigued. I am sending them back out of range for a day to rest the airgroups.

Enterprise TF refuled at Auckland, picked up a squadron of SBD's and some stray F4F's and will now pass by Samoa tp pick up more fighter and dive bomber fragments on here way back to Pearl.

I am pretty sure she "chested" her way out, if you catch my drift. She once got out of ticket going 95

This is annoying on two counts:

1) The flirting part...but I got over that in about 10 seconds because of the desireable outcome

2) The unfairness part. This part really bugs me. I just paid a $600 ticket for 8 mph over the limit. I've never tried it but I am pretty sure that even partial exposure of any reproductive organs on my part during a traffic stop is likely to end badly.

First you go "blazing" thru a school zone for the blind and retarded at 8 mph over, followed by daughter soaring like an eagle on some thrufare and now the spouse peeling out and speeding past the police station. Glad she did not draw a female patrol officer. Six large for 8 over?? Man, California must really, really be hard pressed for revenues. Esso es ridiculo.

Meanwhile, summarize please....how many LYB CV/CVL do you think you have sunk at this point?

A number of USAAF personel are putting the finishing touches on the field repair of a B-25 rudder. A man in an officer's uniform approaches. He is covered in dust and mosquito bites.

Tall hirsute officer: Goddamnit! Major Major, is that you?

Major Major Major: Yes, Yossarian, it's me.

Tall hirsute officer: Well, I'll be damned. How did you get here?

Major Major Major: I hitched a ride on a damaged Stuart.

Tall hirsute officer: No kidding? Hey, I scrounged some fuel. When we get this tail fixed we are going to try for Fiji. McWatt and his crew are coming too in their bird. Even Cathcart is coming. We got him an empty paint can to use as a latrine on the trip.

Major Major Major: I think I'll wait for the boat.

Tall hirsute officer: You crazy SOB, there isn't going to be a boat. It's a Jap lake out there.

Major Major Major: Still.

Tall hirsute officer: Suit yourself, you crazy SOB. See you next war. <the major trudges off in a daze>....Doc, have you got anything to knock him out?...................

They are vermin. One time I accidentally stuck a spinal needle (during a spinal tap) directly into a cysticercus lesion in the lumbar subarachnoid space of a teenager from Mexico with 104 fever and bad headache. I was pretty sure the needle was in the right place but I got back stuff that looked like old cream cheese. Talk about pucker factor. Madre de Dios!

The racemose variant is something out of science fiction.

Status: offline 		Most of the time, as I understand it, yes. Provided there aren't too many cysts in particularly important areas of the brain. It depends on the severity of infection. The picture I've included above was obviously collected from a postmortem examination.

My former boss, a Mexican national, told me about some of the veterinary field exams that they conducted on rural pork growers' animals. Let's just say that 'marbling' of pork in some countries is not a desirous trait.

ETA: Cap'n-how'd your case turn out?

Is this some sort of visual aid in supply status or strength? I've never been able to learn what that means. Thanks and sorry for the intrusion on your excellent AAR.

Once a bit of brain is eaten away then, generally speaking, that's it. Could you survive? Yes but with lots of functionality lost.
