Axing (chapters) and Dropping (pounds)

Good back-to-back days at the gym. Well fuck all, put on that pair of shorts that are traditionally snug. Now they're loose.

Good morning to everyone but Israel's enemies. As of this writing the Israeli Air Force has conducted several air strikes against various targets in the Gaza Strip, including underground rocket sites, 50 + so far. The Gazans have responded with limited rocket fire.  300 plus rockets as of this morning, 30 percent of which have fallen in Gaza. Which is always good fun. The IDF has also conducted limited operations in Judea/Samaria. 

We are of course dropping Israel Strikes into Twitter mentions. Guerilla marketing, I guess. We've done this a couple of times this year. Checking over the sales data we learn...that we can't tell if our Twitter name drop campaign has sold any books. Fun fact, War of the Red Sea has more ratings than Israel Strikes. Huh. 

Notes on World War 1990: The Final Storm: We're axing the Georgia opening, planning, and Battle of the Roki Tunnel. We'll replace this with an expository scene in which events are explained to the politburo. We just dropped the word count to 80,000 and made TFS much tighter and more focused. Had to be done. 

No, we are not watching Trump on CNN tonight. No, we also don't care about the civil suit verdict against Trump yesterday. What can we do to convince you people, my fellow MAGA hats, that the age of Trump is over? What more do you want? Trump already won two presidential elections.

Youtuber Mileage Mike has a very interesting video about coming to New Jersey for the first time. Everything he says is right, especially about the New Jersey Turnpike. Just spot on. Great highway.   At the end, when Mileage Mike mentions the Raritan Valley suburbs, that's us. Exit 10 (to Interstate 287) off the Turnpike.
