Welcome to the Dugout. Mind the low beam and that rotten step, third from the top. I've gone out on another of my unauthorized solo patrols, so there's no telling if or when I'll return, or what state I'll be if I finally do, so I don't mind at all if you step inside and put your boots up for a little spell. After all, it's going to be a long war. Help yourself to any victuals you find ~~ they've all been pilfered anyway. Just keep your mitts off the cognac and, as for the cigars, I smoked the last one this morning for breakfast.
