Friday Flag: Emergency Supplemental

To Stroock's Books Nedelandse reader's, Gelukkig Konigsdag!

Mr. Hans Boersma writes to inform us that in the Netherlands, today is Konigsdag, or King's Day, and sends the following attachment:

When we finish this post we'll put on some pants, take down our Trump flag (All hail Trump! We salute you, Trump!) and put up our Royal Dutch East Indies flag.

[Oh, so now you're going to bother with pants? -Ed]

On to business. 

We've finished the Grote Tank Slag readthrough and have upgraded its status from is it ok?, to we're pretty sure it's ok. We're still waiting on some beta readers but so far so good. 

We got our big giant commie story outlined, it's in a really good place and are primed to begin

We're still waiting for one of our books on the Alaskan pipeline so the Battle of Prudhoe Bay is not in a good place. This week we'll do a post on what we've learned about the pipeline.

World War 1990: Nederlandse

We've read through the Prime Minister chapter.

We had feared that you people might find it boring, but time and again you people say, and reviewers say as well, that they enjoy this governmental crap. So governmental crap it is. 'Prime Minister, Soviet paratroopers are in Groningen.'

We're working on the opening blockbuster featuring a Dutch Mechanized Brigade holding open Route-1 as the rest of I Corp retreats back toward the Netherlands borders.

We'll probably add a naval chapter.

Everything is going well.

What's up with that?

Welcome Nederlanders!

Thanks for stopping by good people of the Netherlands.

You've probably noticed that Stroock is a Dutch name. Indeed my great-great-great grandfather immigrated from Rotterdam in 1848. Sadly we have no family there, as we are Hebrews.

Somewhat ironically we grew up in the Hudson River Valley, which 350 years after the fact still has the imprint of Dutch settlement. This includes the Hudson River which is spanned by the Tappan Zee Bridge.  Also we grew up outside of Peekskill or Peek's Kill, a town settled by the intrepid Jan van Peek. Nearby is the hamlet of Verplank. Down river one finds Yonkers, the Bronx and Haarlem. Up  river is the town of Poughkeepsie and the Catskill Mountains ,then Albany. Our basketball team is the Knickerbockers and their colors are orange and blue.

So thanks for stopping by, and feel free to look me up on FB.

By the way, did you know that all of our books are available at Amazon.nl ?
