Good morning, people of Stroock's Books. The Cold snap....continues. As we write this the temperature is zero degrees. Looks like the approaching bomb cyclone isn't really going to effect this part of New Jersey. The Carolina coast is going to get throttled though. Blizzards down south are hilarious. The way those people act during a storm, you'd think it was Sherman's March. Damn SEC.*
So 32 years ago we were at a football party (Super Bowl XXVIII the second Cowboys/Bills game) doing a shot for every Buffalo turnover. The Bills turned the ball over nine times in the previous Super Bowl, so this seemed like a fun drinking game. Anyway, this girl was there, making faces at us as we drank. What did she think about our little drinking game? We'll ask her after work tonight. [You do this post every year-Ed]. You're damn right I do.
Hot Air reports that a third aircraft carrier is heading to the Middle East. Many other assets have been moved into place. We are sure American forces will achieve great things (may include commando raids?!). But we remain skeptical that a strike, no matter how large or how well executed, can change the situation on the ground.
Interestingly a US destroyer is off the coast of Eilat (on the Red Sea) while another is on station off of Tel Aviv. And an air defense battery is in Jordan. The US Navy and Air Force stand ready to assist in the defense of Israel. Exit question, would an attack on Iran be a joint US-Israel venture?
DOGE Report: one of the problems we've encountered with Thatcher's War is that 3/4 of it was originally in Ireland. So it wasn't really structured as its own novel. We've been trying to shoehorn in some Irish characters that were foreshadowed in Ireland. But the narrative we have is fine the way it is. Leave it alone. The characters were introed in Ireland, they don't have to show up again till the middle of Thatcher's War. Don't over think, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and trust in Kek. All will be revealed.
*Reminder: never trust nobody in the low-down, no good SEC. Those dirty bastards would betray their own mothers for a shot at the national title.
Yes you Yankees make fun of us when it snows but we also laugh at you when y'all come down here in the summer and can't take the heat I've seen Yankees just melt on days we didn't think it was that hot and God Bless Ole Miss and the SEC all except LSU fans those people are not really human
