Major Philo reporting in for Yod Squadron 10.06.02

Fluff:

Since Turr and Halc have already covered the best parts of wine, women, and song (or, if you prefer, sex, drugs, and rock-and roll), and I wouldn’t presume to try and add anything to the Wing’s understanding of any sort of intoxicant, I’ll instead resort to a "Book of the Week" from my own reading list.

This week’s selection: "The Fellowship of the Ring" by J.R.R. Tolkien. I’m re-reading the series in preparation for the movie release of "The Two Towers" shortly. Highly recommended.

Fleet News:

The Emperor’s Hammer site should be up Real Soon Now.
