Battle of Midway was more interesting, despite the involvement of carriers.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I got my wife to play War Plan Red. She would NOT be the English/Canada player. Fun, but those rules.....

You can't tell which year that picture is from.  It happens every year. 

One thing that I needed some adjustment in Canada was that they call it Tiananmen.  We call it June 4th.

I'm guessing the vigil is to remember the People, who were victimized by the counter revolutionary enemies of progress who were rightfully executed by the State.
PDH!
