Tomlin on a Tuesday

Good afternoon, Stroock's Books reader(s), you brave few [You already used that one - Ed]. Damn it!

The Stroock family is planning a Florida trip this spring, it seems, as Middle Daughter wants to look at a school whose football team is named after a weather event. 

Sports wrap...so we turned off the Texans-Steelers game when the Texans kicked a field goal to make the score 10-6. Ain't no way the Steelers' offense was gonna do nuthin'. We woke up this morning to see...whoa! 30-6 with two Houston defensive touchdowns. If Steelers ownership does something stupid like fire Mike Tomlin, well, that could be to the Giants' benefit, not? And so it is. The Steelers are looking for their 4th head coach in 56 years. 

Iran....thousands are dead, they say. Trump's talking a lot, again. Trump talks, people mock him, break out the TACO slur, and then he just does stuff. That stuff includes obliterating Fordow and abducting Maduro. So we dunno. This blog urges patience and circumspectness. 

Trump says help is on the way. We're not sure what that means. [Well, what do you think Trump should do?-Ed]. This blog thinks Trump should take out regime elements to hasten the regime's collapse. Knock down some buildings, maybe. [So generally blow some stuff up-Ed]. Yes, generally.

DOGE Report: Another chapter down in World War 1990: Ireland or Fuck it all, I Dunno what the damn thing is Called. 40/134 pages read. 

We spiffed up a few scenes in the interlude of World War 1990: Thatcher's War. 

We've been posting a lot on Substack in the mornings. Is posting actually doing any good? Who can say? [So no-Ed]. No. [Why bother, then?-Ed]. Well partly we vent on Substack so we don't vent on FB. Our friends and family don't need our screeds and deep thoughts on YOUR ISSUE HERE. In fact, we take a certain amount of pride in a FB scroll that's mostly just dumb jokes and puns and cute pics with the occasional post on Israel. Which would not have been in the case in, say, 2012. [But screed you must?-Ed]. We must, we must. We have 1455 followers on Substack, which is decent.
