I was just telling the lad what he had to do to be good so Santa will bring him a tank for Christmas! What's wrong with that?
You and me both on the KV, one each from Tam and HL. Now all I got to do is get the Minister of Finance, aka the VCO, to approve the update and expansion of the Schloss Armoured Division. Gonna have to build some more shelves too. Sigh.

I forgot about that, it saves the long walk around the fence and getting your feet wet crossing the Rio! Cooler too!

Yup, wide open and long border, like a seeve. Feds are working on that, but kinda tough to shut the door. However, if and when we come back, it will be 100% legal. Don't need any more hassles from the Feds than normal. Besides, VCO is not that interested in living in USA, just wants to see it.

So she hasn't been here yet? She's in for quite an experience!

Nope, no visa. We ain't asked a second time Yet. She is well traveled, all over the SSSR. Father was career Army, O6, commo. She is quite well educated and is well aware of American culture, but yes, it will be quite the eye opener. Reading, studying, and seeing on TV and computer is one thing, actually being there is quite another.
