Midweek Post Without Title

Good morning, Stroock's Books huddled masses. Huddle more. 

We are frustrated that our knee will heal real slow. Meaning we can't hit the gym today. This will be our fourth idle day in a row.  

All New Jersey reservoirs are at, above or just below historical levels, except Newark. What's up with Newark? Screw them. Our own Round Valley reservoir is at 94% capacity. Somerset County rainfall is still 1.1 inches below the historical average. 

We were sitting in the doctor's office yesterday, filling out forms, when this story came on the news. We doubled over laughing. Just click over, and you'll see the story involves police, a shootout, garden sheers, an alligator, and meth, lots of meth. Big surprise there. During the press conference the sheriff kept saying, 'Meth...meth...meth....' Drugs kill dreams, as they say. We don't mean to make lite of this. A man is dead. But wow. 

The Israelis bombed Sanaa Airport last night and took out a Yemeni airliner rumored to be of some import. In what way we have no idea. Terrorist transport? The Houthis continue their missile campaign against the Jews. The simple fact is that the Israelis are running out of stuff to bomb in Yemen and the Houthis don't seem to care anyway. Arabs are dying for Persian ambitions. 

Ynet has an excellent summary of Israel's strategic situation after 600 days of war. 

DOGE Report: yesterday we edited the Armagh chapter and researched World War 1990: The Managua Campaign. We realized that a river valley juts out from Contra HQ in the Las Vegas Salient. An advance from this area southwest along Route-29 is possible. We think a Honduran army task force will do just that. We see an excellent chance for a character here. A frustrated Honduran army officer who did a hitch with the US army and attended, say Carlile Barracks and submitted a research paper on Stilwell's Burma campaign. 

We slashed War Night's price. War Night: Stories of the Great Nuclear War of 1975 is now just $4.99 (or will be as soon as the change goes through), American. This should get us those readers who didn't want to lay down $9.99. In a few months we'll raise the price to $6.99. Charging $9.99 was an experiment. That experiment was a success. Sales were down but profits were up.
