It was very weird to be reading up on the Battle of the River Plate and discover that the Germans had an auxiliary vessel (much like the Altmark) left in reserve at Montevideo that also just happens to be named after the town about twenty minutes south of me.

Imagine my surprise, being from Tennessee, and being asked to do a project in 10th Grade on the Battle of Fort Cumberland, only to discover it was in Canada.

So guys, I'll be away until probably the 6th due to a trip into the Alaskan wilderness; you know, the one with no wifi (currently posting from Seattle International, might just visit Tigger while I'm here). Just keep in mind Cliff, always the quiet type, won't be saying much for a while. Feel free to RP his reaction to stuff (don't leave him at Manston, etc) and try not to kill him.

Thanks m8s
