CMDR's Thoughts

Pilot of the Week None - no one flew or did anything other than email contact :*(

I hope to talk to the rest of you soon! And a reminder: Top Gun is coming up soon! Get yourself back into flying form! Read the rules that I emailed you ther other day and get psyched up for it! We gotta win!

That's it for now, see ya on IRC!

BTW - I take no responsibilty right now for having buggered this WSR up :P It's 4am in the morning and I have no idea what exactly I'm writing - I'm simply happy I got most of it out of the way the other day.

Respectfully Submitted;

Major Kenath Zoron
