Northern Oz: JJ was known to be landing at Koeapang. Our recon was a bit spotty. A supply convoy for Darwin turned around yesterday with a "retreating from surface threat"
message. Some staff hack thought that JJ was still at Koepang and they were being sissy-boys so the retreat was countermanded........

Sad but true story. A co-worker grew up in Idaho. His brother came down so he took him to the Alamo. Brothers comment: " I didn't know we lost that battle".

Air losses. We lose some fighters trying to get air superiority over Koumac and trying to defend Sydney from port attack. We did shoot down a few Nells over Sydney.


We spotted either a carrier division or perhaps some CVL's yesterday off Rockhampton but they are unspotted today. No sign of the rest of the KB either.

3200 men of 164th IR disembarking at Noumea today under the cover of 2 BB's and some PT boats.

Noumea is level 4.15 and building fast and now has some dive bombers and B-26's and the first B-25's in theater.

Koumac has 24 Zeroes so we send a CL-led bombardment group tonight.

Mauna Loa finally sank. USS Lassen is 2 days out from Tanna which will become the rearm station. Once we can shuttle in BB bombardment taffys to N&IC, JJ will be in a world of hurt.

They need to do something pretty fast or they will have 2 divisions running out of fish-head soup.

Desiccated fish heads? - just add water! Or substitute head of local snake species? Or just use fish tail - everyone like tail!

Status: offline 		I nearly killed myself cutting down those damn pepper trees. It was hotter than Hell but I waited until mid day so as not annoy the neighbors with the chainsaw.

I saw the neighbor with the $10K mailbox and the meandering jockey statue drive by. She let go of her steering wheel and put her hands too her face in excitement when she saw the tree was down. This seemed an extraordinary reaction and makes me wonder if SHE is the one who turned me in. She has Jesus stickers all over her car and seems a cold "fish" but her husband is very neighborly. He is also a litigator and I have seen the guy in action at the County planning meeting. I was afraid of him and he is on our side.

I was leaning toward an anonymous and cowardly act of revenge but I think it is best to keep my mouth shut. Besides, I swear they have a Vatican flag in their back yard. I'd hate to have to deal with the Swiss Guard.

One tree had a treehouse and swing I built for my kids. Very bittersweet.

If this looks upside down it's because you are in the Northern Hemisphere and I've moved my HQ to Fiji.

First, the neighbor narcs on me to the HOA about the damn trees...so I go buy a chainsaw (with a crappy choke mechanism I might add) and cut the damn things down nearly suffering heat exhaustion..and now I've been stuffing the little branches into the green recycle containers for two weeks.

This morning I am out walking pinhead and see the Waste Management dude using the big hydraulic arm to pick them up. He has to angle the arm a bit more but it works perfectly..just like it was designed by some Asian engineer. He's still pissed. He gets out and looks back at me shaking his head.


Waste Management Hombre: Top es CLOSED! Top es CLOSED! <I wave and nod like I can't tell what he is saying. Now he is really pissed> Chinga te! <He says under his breath with a glare. I doubt he knows I know what he is saying>

FAM: <smiling> Yeah? F*** you too, amigo. Now get back in your $100,000 natural gas powered truck that I paid for and take the f****** GARDEN WASTE. What did you expect, f****** Krugerands?
