Japan: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Firebombing_leaflet.jpg Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not excluded from the leaflet drops. Hiroshima wasn't listed on the leaflet, but it was dropped there and said that other cities were possible targets. Some, all, or others will be firebombed. What they didn't mention was that it was a completely new type of bomb that would decimate the cities. The reason it was excluded supposedly was because they were worried it wouldn't detonate. But yes, we did tell them something was coming. They just didn't believe us. Normandy, as I understand it, went something like this. Operation Fortitude. The US said we were going to Normandy. It was talked about clearly over the radios. Allies passed obvious info saying the attack was going to be at Normandy. However, spies that had been inserted within the German army (read somewhere it's thought all German spies had been turned by Britain) and other "intelligence" pointed Hitler towards Pas de Calais and Norway. His spies and this intelligence made it all very clear that Normandy was a distraction, and that the real invasion was coming from Pas de Calais. He moved a vast majority of his troops there. Even after the Normandy landing, he still kept his troops in Pas de Calais waiting for the "real" attack. We did tell them Normandy. They just didn't believe us. My point here was that the obvious is sometimes the truth. North Korea keeps saying they're going to attack. Don't be surprised when they do.

We warned Germany about Normandy. They just didn't believe us. We warned Japan about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They didn't believe us. The big problem we have here is Kim Jong Un has nothing to lose. Rumors are the military (the NK military) has already made an attempt on his life shortly after he took power. He had been trying to buy their affection by showering top military leaders with luxury items. He talked about a third nuclear test even when their only ally, China, was repeatedly telling them not to do it. To look good and strong in front of his people and military, he conducts it anyways thinking there's no way China would allow additional sanctions. Oops. China's getting sick of their little anklebiter. They vote for the sanctions. Luxury goods stop coming in. No more bribing the military leaders. So now, he needs to prove to the people and the military he's cut out for it and that they don't need China. To avoid a coup d'etat, he needs to project the military's anger towards a common enemy, then prove he'll attack that enemy. Guess who it is.

Figured I'd get this ball rolling. Thoughts?

I'm thinking Saturday mornings or Friday evenings. Thoughts?

Anyone interested in a weekly bike ride? Either weekday evening or weekend morning? Doing my first century in nearly fifteen years this summer. Need to get a lot of seat time in.

I'm game. I'm 216 right now. I'd like to be under 200lbs. Cycling mostly. Now that the weather is getting nicer I need to get back out there soon. Doing the 100 mile Pelotonia ride this year. Don't drink a whole lot of soda to begin with. Mostly bad eating habits. And smoking. That one bit me again. Was doing real good last summer minus when I drank. Now I'm at 5-10 smokes a day. Barely smoking compared to my one pack or more per day I was smoking, but I really need to nix it in the butt completely.

I came here to make a comment very similar to this. Rep for you, sir.

Mason is gone. Traded to Philly for a draft pick. Dorsett, Moore, and Brassard were traded to the Rangers for Gaborik.

Post it up on Ohio Riders. I know a few people were looking at FZ8's. Assuming you'll take less than your asking price, good deal for someone looking at new but want to save a few bucks.

This is the route I've gone. I'll post it up here on OR. Nobody bites, it gets donated.

Welcome aboard.

It would only be one battery swap. It'd be easy enough to build a battery tray that simply slides out. Four guys, grab it out, put the new one in, probably much faster than refueling.

Somebody missed the date of the article...
