Well, we as a State are now batting .500 with our last 8 Governors… 4 of them are in, have been in or are on their way to prison… If you aren’t from Chicago, this might come as something of a surprise, but… The Outfit and/or the Machine ran pretty much everything up there when I was growing up, and it does seem at least on the surface that the current Mayor and Governor are working hard on keeping that tradition rolling… While the candor displayed by the open corruption at the State level with respect to the health care for us peons was somewhat refreshing, the message that seemed to be coming through was that it just did not matter. They were going to do what they were going to do, the law doesn’t matter, the voters do not matter, etc… Weird feeling, thought that it would stay the same, etc., but apparently this is the new reality in Illinois…
Motorcycle is going along well… Weather seems like it has finally stabilized and looks like I’ll be able to ride in most days now…
Headed to St Louis this weekend with Maggie and the wee ones… Should be interesting at least, and it’s the first actual vacation we’ve been on in years…
Gaming… The Fleshtearers seem to be a VERY powerful force the way I am playing them. The Fury DN dropping in, the Vanguard Vets all loaded out with Power Weapons (and furious charge if I am lucky) drop in directly to HtH with 4 attacks each… My Death Company loaded into the Land Raider Crusader and the DC Dreadnaught followed along in the shadow… Turns out that the first missile shot at the LRC immobilized it, and the DN was immobilized the next turn… I think if I keep the same list next week, I bring it as a normal Land Raider… The Las Cannons might be nice to have for a long range threat… My Scouts anchored the line and camped on my objective to guarantee the draw at least… Not sure they killed a single thing, but they DID win me the game… Well they helped at least :-)…
