We finished Charlotte???s Web last night. Not to spoil it for anybody, but Charlotte dies. That???s what happens when you spin webs. However, apparently freshwater hydras can live forever. Who knew? I???m sure there???s a moral in there somewhere.

Germany???s Spring 1901 choice of F Kiel-Holland unfolds into Fall 1901. Russia takes Sweden. Germany takes Belgium (in spite of French support for the English fleet). And England bounces the Kaiserin out of Denmark.

On the other side of the map, Austria seizes Rumania with Turkish help! Russia, however, is no sleeping bear; he uses the opportunity to wend his way into Galicia.

And Italy and Austria continue their bizarre physics experiment in Venice/Trieste, seeing if the laws of quantum mechanics will allow an army and a fleet to pass clean through each other. They don???t. Not yet at least.

The Winter 1901 adjudication will be at 10:00 a.m. CST, Thursday, September 30th. Remember, orders are treated as final unless marked preliminary.
