My Festung Budapest CG defence each day is initially in the form of concealment and cloaking counters, and my opponent rapidly clarifies it in both senses of the word (mostly the latter)!

Misplaced: the usual ASLword of the day??

the usual position of my DC!!
The Word hasn't received much attention from me lately as Civilization has me quite preoccupied.

That's the problem with me when I start gunnin'; I neglect my duties, to quote The Talking Heads.

Actiondebbie and the heathen horde of kitties won't tolerate my inattention to my chores so something has to suffer, primarily The Word and Actionjick.

I'll try to attend to my threads at lunchtime but work demands my attention too. Sigh.😉

Civilization has everyone quite preoccupied. No problem 😉

Almost everyone has to respond to higher commands. Feel free to have a break. Lots of my units use that option.

When their tank was hit by a dud round from a Tiger the crew of the Sherman lost control of their body functions in their duds ruining the dud Dutch currency they were carrying. 🙄

Lol has nothing to do with ASL but young coworker blurted it out today and I thought that it was inspired and just funny.

Sawbuck - what a hunter sees two days after the season closes.
Years ago I was bowling against a guy who hunted. One time him and his son were out hunting wild turkeys but had no luck. After a couple of hours decided to call it. They walked back to his truck and when they got there, here come the turkeys right down the side of the road. So I asked him how many they got. None. You have to be a certain distance from a road ( I don't remember how far ) before you can shoot. Proves that wild turkeys aren't that dumb...

Ben Franklin thought they should be our national bird. Old Ben was a smart guy.

Haven't had the energy or inspiration for a Word lately. Work and Civilization both kicking my butt. I'll have to generate some creativity as I miss posting on this thread.
