JJ is attacking the port at Bataan. Either they mean to:

1) Damage the shore guns
2) Get port supply hits
3) Wear out our naval support guys
4) Cause us to waste supply repairing the thing Supply not used for base repairs (per Alfred).

The lightnings were outnumbered a good ten to one and still gave better than they got. I wonder if japanese pilot skill is dropping.

I found the old "Risk" at the app store for my I-phone. You can play the old classic game but it has been converted to a hyperkinetic click fest with 90 second or even 60 second turns. The trick is to try to take over Australia or South America or Africa early but conserve armies together in one or two strong bases so you don't get steamrolled. Stay out of the big fights at the start and accumulate resources and then try to take out a weakling and take his/her cards.

So I am down at the beach with SG and she starts nagging:

"You make me come down to the beach and then you sit there on your phone like an idiot"

She had a good point so I put down my phone and the beach gods directed that at that very point a 20 something darling (female) with tanned ass-cheeks and a floss bikini walks 3 feet in front of us.

I start humming the tune to Girl From Impanema...and then when she gets a little further away.."tall and tan and young and lovely.." One of my favorite songs.
