Will's Good Idea for the Week of 3/20/22

This is post 4873...closing in on 5,000, people. 

Some spring cleaning yesterday. Mrs. Stroock rearranged the curio cabinet, 'You put my vintage Burge King Star Wars glasses on the bottom shelf,' I said. 'And?' she replied. 'Nothing.'

Once a day we like to search 'Inforos' on twitter and see what pops up. Usually we see a breathless tweet from a guy calling himself The Tracker @HTracker10. Here's a good one:

Thanks there, Mr. Anonymous Twitter Sluth. For younger reader(s) The Tracker's profile pic is from 1983's Wargames. That's some nice Gen-Xing. In another post, Mr. Brave Twitter Anti-Russian-Disinfo Tough Guy names 'key' Inforos employees. Sadly I'm not on the list. Damn it. For the record, everything I've ever written for Inforos or anyone else is 99 and 44/100 percent true. 

With sales of The Great Nuclear War of 1975 surging, and the read through of The Great Salvation of 1976* nearly complete, this week we're going to start the third book in the nuke series. We need a break from The Weser.

Book three will be a compilation of four short stories, each about an event in a single year. So one story for 1978, one for 1979, one for 1980 and one for 1981 through to the inauguration of the next president.** The final chapter will be a future history taking the reader all the way to 2025. We'll probably write a long intro talking about our thoughts on the war, our methodology, and foundational ideas. We may also write-one off vignettes at either end of each chapter. 

Post ideas in comments. 

*75's success is no guarantee for 76. To Defend the Earth did great but To Survive the Earth flopped.

**Guess who.
