The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Since Trump the Conqueror likes to drop bombs on the weekend, and negotiates "peace" right up until the bombs start falling, what's up?

The first unit of Marines, on the USS Tripoli, according to the net sifter, could be on station at the Persian Gulf "as early as March 25-26". A ship tracking site says she passed the Malacca Strait on March 17.

USS Boxer, carrying the second contingent of Marines, is expected on station three weeks after sailing March 20th.

The 82nd Airborne is on alert standby.

What happens this weekend? Something stupid?

Steve
