Too much serious stuff today...time to post something amusing. Laughter is good for you. We've all been this cat once in a while... #funny #humor #cats #Internet #argument

#Israel should end its war in #Gaza, return to its '67 borders, and withdraw settlers from the West Bank. In return, #Palestinians should accept Gaza and the West Bank as their share of the land, recognize Israel's right to exist, and end all terrorist activities. Who will make the first move?

Not sure if Israeli strikes were the right choice, but if #Iran built nukes while #Trump talked and used them against #Israel, we'd all be wringing our hands, and Israel could say "we told you so," but a million Israelis would still be dead. So, what's the right thing to do?

Here in the Northwoods, forest fires are an ongoing concern. However, that doesn't mean we always have to take everything so seriously! Laughter is good for you! #humor #funny #Northwoods #Wisconsin #conservation #relationships #love #marriage #drugs

Still working on my newest scenario for Command. It's probably the most complex I've ever designed--about 500 aircraft and more than 20 separate strike missions for the Soviets. (I wonder how you say, "Oh, that don't look good at all" in Turkish.) #Command #pcgames #wargames #pcgaming #wargaming

Had a few visitors in our front yard yesterday. Deer are nothing new, but the little guy is probably less than a month old, and it's cool to be able to see one this young. I think the photos came out pretty well. #nature #Wisconsin #deer #cute #Northwoods

In other words, the perfect time to have cut funding for NOAA and FEMA... 🤦‍♂️ #Trump #politics #climate #hurricanes

I saw this and had to pass it on to the folks here on Bluesky. Laughter is good for you. And so are tacos, in moderation... #funny #humor #Trump #politics #tacos #tariffs #taco #Mexico www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaJ2...

Working on a new Command scenario. It's 1968 and waves of Soviet aircraft are attacking northern Turkey. The Turkish Air Force has F-86s armed with Mighty Mouse rockets. But will they be enough?

Just something funny I found on the Internet. Laughter is good for you. (Along with "Common Core," what else is driving teachers to drink these days?) #funny #humor #teachers #teaching #education #politics

Remembering my father on Memorial day. He came home from WWII and married my mother and they had nearly 70 years together. But some of his friends did not make it back. Never forget our veterans. #America #democracy #politics #war #veterans

Summer has arrived in the Northwoods. How do I know this? Because the tourists are here. Ah, tourists, increasing by a factor of ten the traffic on local roads, and the number of people on ATVs and in boats, often drunk, and rarely following any safety regulations. 🤦‍♂️ #Wisconsin #summer

Working on a new scenario for Command: Modern Operations. It is 1968, the Cold War has gone hot, and you command Greek naval forces in the Aegean. Can you guide merchant ships carrying supplies vital to the war effort to safety before the Soviets find them? #games #pcgames #pcgaming #wargames
