Saturday Updates

Good morning, Stroock's Books weekenders and Happy Saturday. 

We got in a Judaism last night. Mrs. Stroock + Middle and Youngest Daughter led services. Oldest Daughter had a very important social engagement. 

It's gonna rain today, all day. Which is fine. 

Sigh...Memorial Day Weekend. This is always an awkward time for us, as we've spent much of our life memorializing American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. We've written about them all, Continentals, Billy Yanks (and Johnny Rebs), Doughboys, GIs...

The things.

A long week, a week in which we worried ourselves over affairs we can't control [You've been doing that since October 7th-Ed].

Our Pershing and the AEF article queries have borne no fruit, so far. 

We spent all week improving the Battle of Choluteca Gap chapter. The chapter is much better. World War 1990: The Managua Campaign is 52,000 words. 

We did some research on the DEW Line and CAM-1 station for the 5th nuke novel. CAM-1 is on Jenny Lind Island way up in the Canadian arctic. We chose it because Dangerous Waters jet skied to the island and actually visited CAM-1's automated replacement. Authorities were not pleased. Anyway, we've got a feel for the site. It's a bunch of guys in trailers operating electronics, but what actually happens?
