Sorry BlueJ, I still have a box sitting here to send you. It's cram-packed with DVD movies for you to watch. Don't feel too badly though, they're right next to the boxes of Christmas gifts for my family that I haven't sent either... getting to the post office isn't something I do well. :)

Porn is a UCMJ offense in a combat zone. But does a bear dooky in the woods?

Thought you had something to do over there...

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

toobzoom.com has all the movies and TV shows your heart desires (as long as you don't mind some of the movies shot from a personal camera somewhere in japan.)
