Whoops....late post. Whatever

And there'll be another late post tomorrow as we have to be a debate judge for Oldest Daughter's debate team. 

We've been good about avoiding politics. Still just the NY Post and Instapundit. We should be able to add back Stephen L. Miller. [You fool-Ed].

The window guys came yesterday, took a look at the frame, and from there events transpired, badly. The end result is a window installation delay and cost explosion. Water sucks. 

The Times of Israel reports that the Israeli Navy is now operating Iron Dome: 'In a joint statement, the ministry and military said the advanced model of the Iron Dome, known as C-Dome, underwent a successful test last month aboard the Sa’ar 6-class corvette INS Oz, simulating threats the system is likely to face at sea.' These corvettes defend the coastline and the natural gas industry. We bet at least one Dolphin class sub is patrolling around the gas fields too. The Israeli Navy is pretty bad ass, like the Sea Peoples of yore. 

The Aftermath of 1976 readthrough continues apace. We've gotten to the Korean chapter, which we'll read this weekend. We found another continuity fuck up, but it was easily fixed. That's why one reads the hard copy. One should always be the last to read one's book. After this we're done. Once again, you never finish writing. You just stop. 

When casting about for writing ideas we look for inspiration, for spark, the flash across the sky that says, this is a great idea and will be fun to write. Nothing is fun to write, but reader(s) will get the point. So far the only flash we see is for World War 1990: Battle of the GIUK Gap and World War 1990: The Kabul Revolt. This is not what we planned. You know who laughs. Kek was never so cruel. Neither were the Lords of Kobol. Bastards.

Hmmm...a small spike in sales of To Survive the Earth. The Battle of Luna in To Defend the Earth, and the Battle of Ceres in To Survive the Earth were so cool. We were, and are, 95 % pleased with them. We can make the Battle of Mars just as awesome.

But what else would go into To Liberate Mars? We already showed the Ruskis. The Chicoms would be mucking about too. But what would be the muck? And where would the mucking take place. Galilean moons? Battling a Jai ship? No earth intrigue. Another China positive story might be fun. Remember, TDTE kicked off with Kim is Ill, in which China invades North Korea.
