Sleep In Day!
It is all about short term goals and each Sunday marks another day to sleep in a bit. I get to come in 2 hours on Sundays and relax a little. Today marks the completion of my 31st day. It seems a little better when I think about being 8% complete with this tour.
News of the day came with some heavy rain. This turned my trailer park into a colossal mud pit. I walked into the shower trailer this morning only to have mud splattered up my calves and covering my flip flops. Once inside, the mud only continued. The drains in each of the showers were filled with Iraqi mud and the situation didn’t get any better with shower running. After I got out, I wiped off the mud from my feet and legs just to walk back to my trailer and get muddy again. The rain has been somewhat constant today, so the trailer park will be a swamp again I am sure.
I went to a place called the Blackhawk Mall in the morning. What a wonderful place filled with all the bootleg movies and TV shows a guy could want. I didn’t buy anything today, but maybe next time. I found the complete box set of Sopranos for 25 dollars. I have a hard time believing that all six seasons are only 25 bucks. You have to take these deals with a grain of salt and an understanding that you will most likely get taken for your money. I bought movies last time I was in Iraq and had good and bad luck.
Happy holidays to you all,

Sounds like some camping trips I'll been on
Is it normal to have that much rain at this time there? I always think of it as being dry there. Want us to send you some 5 buckle overboots? :) As if you would know what they were at your young age. :)
