Squall
Many calls today about my cars. One guy came and took a test drive. He didn't try to negotiate, and he was carrying cash, but he lacked insurance, so he's gonna be back tomorrow morning. Hopefully. And in another reason I'm glad to be back in this business...

I had to apologize for not being prepared. I told the guy I was a brand new dealer. He said he understood, because he was starting a business too. What kind of business? Body removal. That's why he needs a van. My god, the stories. How I've missed these fucking characters.

In other news, Iran has successfully tested a hypercavitating torpedo. It has a top speed, underwater, of 223 mph, which coincidentally matches the top speed of Russia's "Shkvall" hypercavitating torpedo. The U.S. doesn't have any that are publicly known. Who would have thought, though, that Iran would develop into such an impressive military hardware manufacturer? It beggars the imagination. It's a good thing, though. If Iran can sink our boats, we're less likely to invade. Which is of course why Russia sold them those torpedoes to begin with.

Which means that Ian probably won't have to worry about being drafted. Probably.

That's assuming some sort of incredible level of self preservation on the part of the White House, which seems unlikely.

Besides, the Iran torpedo was the demo, and announced in a press release. Captain Pancakes runs their military.

Naaah, the self preservation is there. Otherwise we would have gotten into it with China when they crashed into our plane. But China has nukes, hundreds of them, of which at least a dozen probably work, considering the typical quality of Chinese products.

As for demo/press/release/pancakes, the Russian version has existed for 11 years, according to the article I read, which makes it almost impossible that we don't have it too. So they probably just sold it to Iran to keep us from invading. Even though they've existed since 1995, I only started hearing about these things a couple of years ago. Maybe that's what was on the Kursk that was worth rejecting foreign efforts to rescue 118 sailors.

Anyway, pancakes are delicious.
