Anyway, I'm sick. Covid-negative but miserable, so probably flu or RSV. However, I've been reading.
Sea of Thunder: Four Commanders and the Last Great Naval Campaign 1941-1945
Good re-read. This follows Halsey, Kurita, Ugaki, and Ernest Evans across the Pacific War to their collision in Leyte Gulf. Good companion to Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors, which is one of my all time favorites.
Currently listening to the audiobook of Fire and Fortitude: The US Army in the Pacific War, 1941-1943, whose author often appears on the "We Have Ways" podcast. So far, so VERY good. I'm only in Chapter 3 (Bataan & Corregidor); Chapter 2 was the Philippines preparation and invasion, and Chapter 1 the Army's view of Pearl Harbor.
Get well soon
The derpiness is over 9000!
Get well soon :)
Around here, it's not uncommon for kids to learn to ski (and sometimes drive bobcats) before learning to ride a bike.
I keep telling my niece to practice free-heel telemarking (even if it's with randonee bindings, which are a total cheat), because the 10th Mountain Division would have never captured Riva Ridge, and the Finns would have never beat back the Red columns without such skills.
Everyone talks about that White Death guy, but he just had to stay still and conceal his breath. I'd like to see him get his heart rate up like a hoplite charging in full bronze kit, and then get it back down again in just a second or two and keep his hands steady for shots.
Oof sorry you feel bad hope you feel better, in another I’m going into cuteness overload from this derpiness
