G.S.- You are right. We are in Germany to counter Russia. And we're in Japan to counter China. Maybe we also won't want to leave Korea because of China.

No, but until recently it was right next to the Soviet union, and they can't move into ex-Warsaw pact countries without creating mayhem, they would be in Ukraine otherwise.Quote:
I dunno. I mean, we still have bases in Germany. Germany, and we haven't been at war with them for 73 years.
Edit, page went up, I see Kevin already made the point, not occupiers anymore, 'allies' against 'hostile' neighbours, a bit like us in Guiana.
First of May - International Workers' Day.
Here in France the un-employed are selling muguets/lily-of-the-valley in the streets.

Writing my fantasy.
Including a detective story.
Wait, a detective story in a fantasy epic about a war?
Yes. :P

And why not? Should spice things up a bit. Ever come across Ben AAranovitch, 'Rivers of London'? Fantasy detective story.Quote:

All the music was Johnny Mercer, who I am barely familiar with, maybe not at all, really. He was huge, though.
Were in a place called Suwannee, on a lake. Homes here are 100 a square. Homes where I live are a lot more. That's including land value. Hmm. Weather is a big difference. It is very green, which, when you live in a semi-arid place, is nice. They don't even irrigate.
You ought to see England, flying back after working all summer in Spair, which is pretty arid, it looked absolutely amazing it was so green.Quote:

What does 'Homes here are 100 a square' mean? $100 a square foot would be City of London prices.
Is unemployment bad over there bobo?Quote:

Where I live (another state) I figured just for replacement cost 250 a square for construction costs on my homeowners insurance. That's without the land. A big part of those costs are all the permit fees.Quote:

Most of it is knee to shoulder in height. In the rains it becomes pliable. Sometimes I get on my hands and knees and go under. :)
Ps- were near Charelston now. It's all woods. There are Palmettos and Magnolias
Once it was all forest here, I live near Battle where the battle of Hastings was fought in 1066. The reason William came that way and Harold was there waiting for him was that was the way through the forest if you didn't want to lose your army. Now it is all fields or orchards, where it is not built up.
Took the little cat to the vet this morning, couldn't put her back foot on the ground and the foot and leg were swollen. The vet found a small scab just behind the pad that looked like the cause, she is now full of antibiotics and sleeping lots.
